Have you noticed poor performance on your "High End" PC?
Have you noticed poor performance on your "High End" PC?
Also, when I run COD Warzne at all ultra settings, I see steady 100-110 fps, whereas lowering everything only gives me 120-130 fps.
The CPU sets the upper bound for the frame rate. You might be reaching it.
Do you have images of benches to illustrate this? This might relate to the CPU or game settings (both in and out of game). If possible, ask your friend to demonstrate the 300FPS, then run a userbenchmark and Time Spy on their system and share the results. I'm going to bet it's settings.
it determines that from there as well, probably not the main issue since on dd2 in csgo i can maintain 150-250 fps regardless of settings. I tried it, used csgo and apex cfg from a friend (my bad, he has 1070 but actually 1660 Super with the same cpu), and in csgo I got even lower fps (ancient had 200-300 fps while i got 60-100). In apex i only lost about 20 fps compared to him (80 when flying above map, 100-150 on the ground, which is playable but still, it should be better, especially on a 144hz monitor). He has medium settings in csgo. His benchmark link is https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/43965853
I think he likely has GPU driver configurations and/or in-game settings focused more on performance than quality.
Your friend should enable XMP/AMP in BIOS as well.
Also, eliminate all overclocks and timing tweaks, except for XMP/AMP, then try running your tests again.
Did you perform a complete system virus scan?
Played on Monitor AOC 27" 27G2U with a secondary 60 Hz AOC.
Checked the CSGO FPS benchmark map and found average FPS of 300, while my friends with double the FPS on maps averaged around 200.
