Full CPU load occurs during CSGO gameplay on an Asus TUF A15 laptop.
Hello everyone... I own an ASUS TUF A15 Ryzen 7 4800H with an Intel Core i7-1650Ti. While playing CSGO I noticed performance issues, the Task Manager showed 100% CPU usage. Additionally, the MSI graphics card didn't work properly in CSGO—FPS wasn't visible, but for the first 10 minutes it stuttered heavily and then the game ran smoothly again. My GPU usage stayed around 50% or less, and my FPS hovered near 80. Edit: February 2, 2021 by Rudradev Arya
with a 144hz monitor, limiting your frames per second to match the refresh rate offers minimal impact. using 500fps on such a display can actually cause more input lag rather than improve it. the benefit of higher fps is mostly noticeable only at very high resolutions or with certain games.
it should run more smoothly because of your current settings. For instance, if you're using 144Hz but receiving 244fps, you'll perceive it as 144fps. Just give it a shot. If your PC isn't capped, it will fully utilize the CPU and push it to 100%. Also, reaching 100% CPU usage isn't ideal. Aim for around 97% with the video I sent.
The difference will be significant, increasing from 244 to 500 frames per second.
I consistently perform this task, which reduces GPU noise and system strain. I rely on RivaTuner for games lacking built-in settings, allowing me to lower them. I adjust the global FPS to match my monitor's display. I believe others could also gain from this approach.
CS:GO isn't a game that pushes an 8-core processor to its limits like a video encoder would. It's nearly ten years old with an engine released long before the game was even made. Simply capping FPS won't fix the problem. What I'd actually do is identify exactly what's causing the CPU to spike. Often, laptops from top brands like ASUS and MSI come with unnecessary bloatware and tools that increase CPU usage, either due to poor coding or intentional design choices.
