Problem with CSGO performance is low frame rate.
Problem with CSGO performance is low frame rate.
I purchased an ASUS ROG GL753VE with the following specs: I7 7700HQ GTX 1050ti, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, and 1TB HDD. When I begin playing CSGO, my frame rate drops to 90 FPS or less. CPU usage is now between 30-40%, GPU usage is around 20%. Previous performance was stable at 150-170 FPS with high utilization. I've tried lowering settings, reducing resolution, and adjusting FPS caps, but nothing improved. Any advice?
Confirming it uses the NVIDIA card rather than built-in graphics. Updated September 28, 2018 by firelighter487 (typo)
Vsync remains disabled, yet your GPU load stays low around 20% while gaming, and your CPU usage hovers between 30-40%.
Check if the issue is specific to CS:GO rather than a general hardware problem. Did you experiment with unique graphics settings in the console?
