FX 8350/RX-460 low fps in CS:GO

[OopsThatIsMine]

As the title says, I'n running an FX-8350 and a 4GB RX 460 with 16GB of 1600MHz ram. I'm getting 40/50 fps in-game at 1080p and CAM says my graphics card is pinned at ~90% all the time. Is there a fix for this?

Get a better CPU. That's really it.

This reply is pretty ignorant.  It's freakin' Counter-Strike Global Offensive, it's not exactly the most CPU bound game out there, not by a loooooooooong shot.  An FX-8350 is more than enough to get great performance out of CS:GO.

Overclock?

No, not overclocked

It is actually more of a CPU than GPU bound game. And it uses 1 core heavily. Remember, stock (4GHz) they are only as fast single threaded as an i5 5300u (2.9GHz turbo):

Just save up, and replace it with something that is at least decent. The FX series is terrible for any game except Battlefield 4.

LOL @ dis

http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-FX-8350-vs-Intel-Core-i5-2500/1489vsm517

a 2nd gen i5 beats that fx

 

You should be fine tho OP

Regardless, the FX-8350 will be -beyond- enough to hit 60fps locked.  You can argue it all you want, this is a GPU or other issue.  Telling someone to replace their CPU to fix the problem, which would likely include a new motherboard at this point, possibly RAM, is basically saying 'Set a bunch of money on fire and then your problem won't get better.'

as for csgo in some cases it can help to get rid of unused workshop data. 

i once deleted the whole folder and just got the maps i really needed fresh -> helped quit a bit

 

and of course deactivate xbox game dvr on win10

I said to save up. Because even an upgrade to a dual core i3/Ryzen 3 would be an upgrade in all tasks (excluding compressing files).

Reinstall your drivers and check the game files, tune Windows power saving options, use a high performance setting to play and the standard while you're idling

back in the day I was able to hit 4.845 with that chip but If you're using stock cooling on both cpu and mobo that wouldn't be safe at all

Im going to have to agree with @AshleyAshes on this one. According to the CS Go product page, your system specs are way over the min requirements needed. What I would do is open task manager while the game is open and see what CPU and Ram usage is. Im wondering if something else is running in the back ground and either hammering you CPU or using a lot of ram to the point that Windows is having to use the paging file.

I've been using CAM to monitor while in game, and my GPU has been getting about 90% usage while my CPU is sitting on about 20. Checked memory usage on task manager and I still have 10GB of my 16 not being used.

CS:GO relies greatly in the single thread performance and the FX 8350 is awful at it.

 

The system probably could be extracting more performance, make sure to check thermals, DDU in safe mode to reinstall drivers fresh new and the usual stuff... make sure OS is clean, now I don't want to get in the argue above but truth be told, the FX 8350 is a potential bottlenecked to high refresh rate gaming even with a GPU as the RX460, mind sound awfully simplistic but that really is a reality.

 

You need good single thread performance so the CPU can feed the GPU with information about what is going on in the world fast enough so it can draw as many frames as possible, so the higher fps you want the best performing cores are desirable, many times even above the raw number of cores as we can see even the Pentium G4560 outperforms the FX8350 nowadays and that is a 2 cores processor vs an 8 cores processor.

I did a DDU and it fixed it temporarily, but now it's bad again. I haven't got a clean OS though so I might try that.

CS:GO is a CPU-bound game.

An FX-8350 should react at least 150 -  200 fps when overclocked, maybe more however. I would reccommend a better graphics card. At least a GTX 770 or higher - which can be found cheaply these days.

[OopsThatIsMine]

So I discovered something. CS runs worse if I've run another game before it on the same boot. If I run CS first then I get about 100fps. Idk if this helps at all but I found it interesting.

[OopsThatIsMine]

Another update - after overclocking by 0.1 GHz it runs at 150+fps pretty consistently. I have no idea why.

Perhaps it was AMD's "Turbocore" interfering then. My laptop's APU has better FPS with it locked at 1.6GHz instead of turboing to 1.8-2.4GHz, then dropping to between 800-1.4GHz (even in Oblivion).

[OopsThatIsMine]

Update 3; I think it's my graphics card. It's constantly at 90-100% usage and my display cuts out randomly. 

[OopsThatIsMine]

OK so I put a GT 1030 in and all the problems are fixed so I know that it was my gpu now. Thanks all.

Lets have a moment of silence for the fallen GPU..........
