Maintain identical frame rate across 720p and 1080p settings in CSGO.
Maintain identical frame rate across 720p and 1080p settings in CSGO.
I purchased a laptop with an 850M and am maintaining the same average frame rate at 720p as at 1080p, around 55fps. I like seeing drops to 60, so I lowered the resolution but don’t want any extra FPS boost. Could someone help me understand this? Specifics: i7-4510U, 8GB RAM, GTX 850M. On another note, notebookcheck achieves about 90 fps in CS:GO at ultra 1080p. Many reviewers on YouTube claim around 80 fps at 1080p even with low settings, while I’m struggling to hit more than ~65 average fps.
Consider enabling low violence mode in CS:GO (-lv in Steam settings). This can boost FPS by eliminating certain blood effects and removing ragdoll animations.
Sure. After 1.4k hours I'm still confused about that. Thanks for trying. Still puzzled by the consistent FPS at both 720 and 1080. EDIT: Removed the valve a few updates back.
Monitor CPU and GPU performance using MSI Afterburner. Early observation suggests the issue may be linked to CPU activity, since changes in resolution have a lesser impact compared to the GPU.
It's possible your CPU is approaching its temperature thresholds, causing it to slow down under stress. This results in performance falling short of expectations, especially when trying to maintain 1080p resolution over 720p. If the CPU isn't handling the load well, you'll notice no improvement in quality.
Nah, temps were fine so no throttling. I just forgot to plug it in -.- Getting ~ 110fps at 720p.
It reduced the clock speed to save power. The issue likely stemmed from thermal constraints, though the CPU was still operating at a lower rate.
