Hi everyone, I just got my hands on an i7 4790, MSI B85M-E45, 12GB of DDR3 RAM, and an XFX Rx 580 8GB for $230 from a reseller. The PSU and GPU are brand new in my city. After setting up Windows 10, I downloaded CS:GO and ran some benchmarks. I was hoping to get at least 200fps, but I’m averaging around 120. My CPU is running in turbo mode at 4GHz, and I’ve noticed that a friend with a similar setup (the same specs except for a different GPU and a 550W PSU) still achieves about 300 FPS during benchmark tests. He uses Windows 10 and plays at low settings just like me. I’m considering downgrading to Windows 7 to see if it improves things, or maybe it won’t help much.
Here are my specs:
- CPU: i7 4790 @ 4GHz
- RAM: 12GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz (1x 8GB - 1x 4GB)
- GPU: XFX RX 580 8GB GTS XXX Edition
- Motherboard: MSI B85M-E45
- PSU: T-Dragon 600W
- SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 250GB (about 180GB free)
- CPU cooler: Deepcool Gamaxx 300
Is an average of 120fps in CS:GO normal for this build? I also have High in the Startup options and I’m playing at 1024x768 with shadows high and Anisotropic 8x without MSAA.
I’ve set up an Ultimate Performance plan in Windows, enabled all cores in msconfig (8 threads), and disabled Xbox Game Bar as it seems to have issues. In Assassin’s Creed Unity—which isn’t optimized for PC—I’m getting 60-65FPS on average at 1080p with everything on ultra, and 70-80FPS online at 900p or 65-70FPS at 1080p when Grass is on normal.
Anyone have any advice?
Both the CPU and GPU are basic models. CSGO runs very well optimized, making it a poor benchmark. The RAM setup seems inconsistent—it should remain uniform across multiple sticks. The power supply looks questionable at best. The 580 should outperform the 970, but likely you're hitting a CPU limitation anyway. He might also be playing at standard settings, and higher settings could be the issue.
the issue is he employs msaa 4x and texture on high, yet maintains better performance than me. I’m not sure about his BIOS configurations, he might have adjusted something there, while I only have the cpu ratio set at 40 with OC genie enabled.
the PSU has an 80+ bronze rating with 88% efficiency.

Does your friend have an i7-4790 processor?
The operating system version shouldn't affect performance. Many users run CSGO smoothly on Windows 10.
Clarification needed – are you connecting the monitor cable to the RX580 ports and not the motherboard ports near USB ports, or is that correct?
Could you share any monitoring details about GPU usage, temperature, frequency during CSGO tests?
I believe the display signal might not be coming through if I connected the cable to the on-board GPU instead of the dedicated one, since the dedicated one is in the PCI-e slot. The GPU usage during gameplay is about 15% and stays under 40%. CPU usage is around 90-95% across all cores at speeds of 4.00/4.10Ghz. I’m still puzzled by what’s happening and would appreciate someone checking if there’s a setting like "fps_max 0" in the console. Vsync is off, and multicore rendering is active (it would work even worse without it).
