CSGO ISSUES
CSGO ISSUES
Hello everyone. I’m almost finished with this, but I’ll give it one more shot. I really enjoy CS:GO, but I can’t play it anymore. I don’t know why it’s not working. I’ve tried everything! It feels like I’m lagging behind by 2 to 3 seconds. My aim is terrible, enemies kill me instantly after I see them—it’s like I only have about 0.1 seconds to react. The game is supposed to be 2 to 3 seconds slower. Don’t tell me I’m bad or anything. I’ve been playing since CS 1.6 and was in tournaments. PS. Four years ago everything was fine with CS:GO, then one day I woke up and suddenly I couldn’t play. It feels like everyone is using wallhacks. I’ve changed my PC, mouse, keyboard, monitor, and more. I’ve reinstalled Windows hundreds of times, tried new HDDs and SSDs. I haven’t played CS:GO in the last two years, and just built a new PC three weeks ago. So I thought I’d give it another try, but nothing changed. My frame rate is steady at 350-400fps. Here are my specs:
Ryzen 5 3600
GTX 1660 Super
Asus TUF B450-PLUS Gaming
Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 3200mhz
Corsair C550XM
1TB HDD
256GB SSD
Well, I think it's just that. You built a new PC and reset Windows 10 multiple times. That's all that's changed.
What has shifted since you were able to play smoothly?
I don’t have deep knowledge of CSGO, but my understanding suggests the game relies heavily on CPU power and isn’t very thread-friendly.
The 3600 offers a turbo speed of 4.2, which activates when one core is available and thermal conditions are favorable.
I think this single-thread capability might be restricting your performance.
Would it help to slightly increase the settings?
Ryzen chips are pre-binned, so overclocking usually provides limited improvement, though it’s possible to get a better result.
Performance also depends on having fast RAM; aim for 3600 or higher speeds.
If you’re open to changing your processor, there are reports that the Ryzen 5000 could offer a 19% increase in IPC, making it a promising option.
Among the available choices, the i9-10900K boosts by 5.3, i7-10700K by 5.1, and i5-10600K by 4.8.
All three can typically support an all-core overclock around 5.0.
The key distinction lies in the number of threads available—20 for the 3600, 16 for the 7, and 12 for the 5.
I used an Intel i5 from my previous PC, but nothing changed. I don't think it's the CPU, I got a Ryzen 3 3200G from a friend and everything worked fine.
Could it be the internet service provider? Even with a slow ping, there might be an issue.
