Resolved: Addressing CS:GO Performance Decline (Progressively?)
Greetings,
I’ve observed a significant decline in my CS:GO frame rate compared to previous performance levels.
I began playing the game in 2015 or 2016, and previously consistently achieved over 200 frames per second.
Within the benchmark map I utilize, my average frame rate currently averages 190 – a figure that was considerably higher in the past, approximately 280.
My computer hardware remains unchanged over an extended period.
Frame rates on the maps I typically play frequently fall below 144, and the overall smoothness of the gameplay diminishes noticeably when frame rates are lower than 250. This is frustrating, especially considering I recently invested in a 144Hz monitor two months ago.
My system specifications are as follows:
-Intel Core i5 4440 @3.3Ghz
-Nvidia Geforce 970
-ASRock H81M HDS Motherboard
-16GB RAM
-Windows 10
I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps:
-Updated and downgraded GPU drivers, testing approximately four different versions – progressing from older to newer.
-Verified that temperatures are within acceptable ranges.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The Lepa N500 is a budget power supply for the entire system; updating the ASRock H81M HDS BIOS to its newest version could be beneficial.
