Fixed FPS issues in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Fixed FPS issues in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Hi there!
I recently acquired a Lenovo IdeaPad L340 Gaming laptop with these specifications:
http://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Lenovo Laptops/ideapad_L34015IRH_Gaming?M=81LK002FMX
It includes a Core i5-9300H (4 cores / 8 threads, 2.4 – 4.1 GHz, 8MB cache), an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with 4GB of GDDR5 memory, 8GB of DDR4-2400 RAM, an Intel HM370 chipset, and a 256GB M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe SSD.
The system is newly installed and features the latest drivers for the BIOS, graphics card, sound card, and other components. I haven’t installed any antivirus software; I only have Steam and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
I've configured Windows to utilize all cores and threads and set the performance mode to maximum. I’ve also disabled the Xbox settings. I’ve adjusted all NVIDIA graphics settings to low or performance modes in the configuration panel.
My main concern is that I seem to be experiencing a lack of frames per second, which appears unstable.
When playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive with all graphic settings minimized and running at 1980x1080 resolution in a widescreen 16:9 format, I achieve frame rates between 75 and 115 FPS.
A friend with less powerful hardware can maintain stable frame rates of 150-175 FPS on the same system.
I’ve been monitoring computer temperatures, which peak around 60-70 degrees Celsius during demanding activities like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or other intensive tasks. The laptop is also remarkably quiet while running these programs. I attempted to improve cooling with a supplemental fan device, but only saw a slight reduction in temperature without any noticeable impact on performance.
I conducted a 3D Mark benchmark test:

At 1280x720 resolution with low settings, I can achieve higher frame rates, around 150.
I’ve experimented with various in-game commands and launch options:
-novid -tickrate 128 -high +fps_max 0 +cl_showfps 1 +cl_interp 0 +cl_interp_ratio 1 +rate 128000 +cl_updaterate 128 +cl_cmdrate 128 +mat_queue_mode 2 +cl_forcepreload 1 -nod3d9ex -nojoy
I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to improve this.
Best regards,
Edit:
I also ran a Novabench test:

It's probably the number of sticks of ram in the laptop. You don't want to be running in single channel mode in any gaming PC.
That just leads to more frequent ups and downs.
I would ask your friend how many sticks of ram in their PC. They likely have 2 to your 1, and their fps is more stable as a result.
