CSGO FPS Drop
CSGO FPS Drop
Greetings, I've been playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for the last four months. Initially, when I began (using bot matches on a 128-tick server), I achieved between 150 and 200 frames per second with maximum graphics settings. However, particularly during the warmer months, I've significantly reduced my visual quality to low or very low settings, and the difference is minimal. In enclosed areas like tunnels, I experience frame rates of 30-40 fps, mirroring my previous performance with over 100 fps in the same locations. My average frame rate currently sits at 60-80, frequently accompanied by noticeable screen tearing that drops my FPS to 30 before briefly rising back to 50-70. This tearing occurs consistently, roughly every 10-20 seconds, rather than infrequently. When playing on 64-tick servers, I see a slight improvement of around 20 fps, though it isn't substantial. I’ve attempted various troubleshooting steps—altering launch options and Windows settings—but haven't found a solution. My computer isn’t an outdated model; it’s a mid-range system. I utilize MSI Afterburner to monitor my performance while gaming, and I observe that my processor reaches approximately 90 degrees Celsius on low settings, occasionally hitting 100%, while my graphics card, which I purchased five months ago, isn't showing any issues. What’s causing this problem? Could anyone offer assistance? I can no longer enjoy CSGO as a result. Furthermore, I’ve conducted a virus scan and found nothing. Apologies if my English isn't perfect; it’s not my native language. Thank you.
My System Specifications:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
CPU: Intel Core i5-750 2.80GHz
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti Windforce 4GB
SSD: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB (150GB free space out of 500GB)
RAM: Corsair 12GB 1333MHz
I’m not convinced, and a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti paired with an Intel Core i5-750 is a respectable setup. Furthermore, my CPU temperatures are running between 75 and 80 degrees Celsius, not the 90 degrees I previously indicated, though I’m still uncertain about the root cause.
It’s probably a problem concerning your graphics card or its drivers. That's the only thing that has altered. How did you install the drivers? Did you employ DDU? Perhaps you should utilize DDU to eliminate all remnants of your gpu and then reinstall it. Also, consider improving your cooling; thermal throttling will cause problems during warmer months.
I don’t know for sure, but while I'm gaming, my graphics card is typically operating at 30% or higher utilization. When I initially purchased my new GPU, I used Display Driver Uninstaller to remove my previous drivers from the older card and subsequently installed the latest drivers through GeForce Experience.
