I upgraded my laptop specs and tested the performance. Initially, I ran CSGO and got around 150-200 FPS at 1080p. After adjusting graphics settings, disabling antialiasing, and switching to a 4:3 resolution, my frame rate remained unchanged. Surprisingly, it didn’t improve by at least 50 FPS. Could someone share their thoughts or advice on this issue?
Increasing the resolution has minimal effect on CS:GO performance. The game can operate smoothly even at lower frame rates, such as 60 FPS on a slightly damp potato.
It does, reducing your resolution greatly boosts FPS by at least 50 frames per second. In the videos you mentioned, he drops both resolution and graphics settings to see a jump from 200 fps on 1080p to 400–500 fps on 720p. In my case, no improvement occurred because I cut both settings down so much—possibly due to limits in the software or your GPU/CPU capabilities.
I understand why this seems odd. It’s surprising that FPS didn’t rise after adjusting the graphics settings, since we should see a boost at 1080p with 150-200 FPS. The system should handle it properly, so the hardware isn’t failing or overheating. There must be some limit on FPS.
haven't played CS:GO much so i'm unsure if it supports it, but verify for a frame cap setting—it might be capped at 200fps because of an in-game choice. past this point, it could just be a CPU limitation. adjusting graphics usually eases pressure on the GPU more than the CPU, and the CPU might still struggle no matter how intense the visuals are.
Well an i7-7700HQ is the highest someone could get on a laptop as far as I know (disregarding the mobile workstations) In the game there is a command (fps_max x) and I set it to 500 (originally it was 300) so its not that, laptops not overheating or anything so CPU is fine (no throttling)
