GTX 760 versus R9 280 in CS:GO – performance comparison.
He is evaluating my rig against his friends' setup in CS:GO. They share identical video configurations, and all drivers are current. Both players cap their FPS at 300. Key variations include my use of several launch options to boost FPS and unparking my Specs. My specs are FX-8320+ASUS R9 280 while his is i5 4670k + Gigabyte GTX 760. Although both cards are older, the R9 280 edges out the GTX 760 slightly in benchmarks and FPS, though not a guaranteed improvement. Here’s the breakdown: Community Deathmatch – 100-150 FPS; Friend – Stable 250-300 FPS; Casual on new maps – 70-150 FPS; Competitive 5v5 Dust 2 – 100-200 FPS; Office (best) – 150-250 FPS; Sometimes reaches 300. I’m confident my hardware and software are fine. Valve struggles to optimize AMD cards for CS:GO consistently, often leaving me with subpar performance regardless of updates. On other titles, I achieve the expected FPS for my rig. Some others claim R9 390 or similar cards still lack that stability.
I've worked with the Source Engine prior and can confirm it tends to be CPU-intensive. Additionally, the engine limits performance to around 300 FPS.
