FPS does not exist in CSGO, TF2, and Gmod
FPS does not exist in CSGO, TF2, and Gmod
So recently I assembled my PC and just last night (April 14th) I put in a brand new CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D15). I played CSGO just to check how things performed and it ran smoothly with normal FPS. However, tonight when I came home from work to play CS, I noticed in the main menu my FPS was capped at 99, whereas usually it would be around 120. In a casual server, my FPS also reached 100, sometimes going up to 110 or 120. I then tried Rainbow Six Siege to see if the issue was consistent, but it worked well there. I also played PuBG and it ran fine. My friends and I played Overwatch just for fun, and everything worked okay. After finishing, I tested TF2 to see if the problem was specific to Source games, and it matched what I saw. This led me to try reinstalling all three games and deleting related files. I also checked driver updates and tested in Prime95 and Cinebench, which confirmed everything was functioning properly. I restarted my PC afterward. I didn’t find any driver updates needed. I’m not sure what to do next and would really appreciate any advice or support.
I hope VSync is disabled. You should be seeing 200+ fps in CS:GO ...
I understand this. That's why I'm here since I'm not receiving what I expect.
I experienced a similar problem before, though I'm not sure how to recall the solution. It might be related to the GPU or CPU clock speeds not reaching their maximum during the game. I recommend checking those settings when the source game is running.
I think you might need some assistance with this. Ideally you should aim for around 250fps or better. I’m hoping your VSync is not enabled. When was CS:GO running at its best? I’d like to see how things have changed since then. I suggest using DDU "Display Driver Uninstaller" in safe mode, then restarting cleanly and back up into normal mode. After that, install the newest WHQL drivers from AMD and let me know the results.
Bent pins might be the issue if they weren’t straightened properly and aren’t making sufficient contact with the connectors in the motherboard socket. It could also be related to thermal throttling—have you verified the temperatures using the new cooler while under load? Additionally, consider checking the display drivers and running a system update. Also look for any BIOS or Windows updates.
