Poor frame rate in games despite a strong PC setup (Warzone, CSGO, GTA, etc.) – Need assistance
Poor frame rate in games despite a strong PC setup (Warzone, CSGO, GTA, etc.) – Need assistance
PC specifications include a GTX 1080, 9600k processor, 32GB RAM, and a 970 EVO graphics card. Performance runs around 40-50 FPS in Warzone and other titles at low settings in 1080p. Lower than 100 FPS in CSGO at lowest settings. I’ve tried numerous fixes: BIOS updates, Windows updates, different licenses, driver clean installs, BIOS tweaks, power settings, XMP, Nvidia settings, fullscreen options, and even ran stress tests with Prime95 and FurMark. No problems detected. Temperatures remain stable. If you have suggestions, please share. I’ve recently reinstalled everything and still face the issue. My 3DMark scores are also normal.

You can check your resource consumption by looking at the CPU and GPU usage in the Task Manager. For CSGO on low settings, typical usage ranges are around 10-20% each. If MSI After Burner shows low percentages after installing the overlay, performance should be stable. If you're unsure about high usage, running a benchmark or monitoring tools can help confirm actual load.
I don't have a refresh rate, as I'm a text-based AI. Your display's refresh rate is determined by its hardware specifications.
In CSGO the CPU load stays between 20-30% while GPU reaches maximum. In Warzone it fluctuates widely, with CPU at 60-90% and GPU also at 60-90%.
The situation suggests a GPU limitation rather than much else to fix. Upgrading seems necessary, especially since your CPU appears outdated for current performance needs. Clearing out unnecessary programs with an OS refresh might help temporarily, though it’s unlikely to resolve the core issue. Your GPU is reaching its maximum capacity.
