The benchmark looks good, but the FPS is low in CS:GO.
The benchmark looks good, but the FPS is low in CS:GO.
Hello, I'm reaching out because I've experimented with various solutions to resolve my FPS problems. There are several factors that might have contributed, so I've listed my details and a brief history, hoping someone can provide the solution!
My system specs are: CPU i5-8600k, GPU RTX-2060, RAM Corsair 2x8GB at 3000MHz, motherboard z390-h gaming ASUS, power supply EVGA Super NOVA 850W.

After reviewing again, my CPU stats now show 49% for 'server', which might be the key issue.
My background: A few months ago, while playing Warzone I aimed to match my friends' FPS. To do this, I upgraded to an RTX 2060 (replacing a 1060 6B) and had my CPU overclocked. Initially everything worked, but I encountered some strange problems—restarting the PC was necessary for normal FPS. Later, my HDD began failing, so I replaced it. Around that time, I reset my BIOS to default settings, thinking the instability would stop if I kept restarting.
After resetting, I faced low FPS in games like CSGO, which dropped from 300-400 to 80-130 during gunfights. This is extremely frustrating since CSGO is a key part of my gaming sessions with friends. I'm hoping to fix this without spending money.
My GPU usage is high.
I've tried the following to improve performance:
- Reinstalled Windows
- Reinstalled CSGO
- Experimented with many settings in both Windows and CSGO
- Verified NVIDIA drivers were correct
- Reinstalled GPU drivers
- Updated BIOS and audio drivers
- Fully updated Windows 10
- Monitored CPU temperatures (around 46-47°C during games, 35-37°C when idle); GPU temps are normal. I added this to the original post—my cooler and fans were installed for better cooling.
- Tried adjusting PSU settings, as suggested by a gaming PC supplier, since a BIOS reset might not fully restore power draw.
- Noted that my PC fans would occasionally overheat briefly before returning to normal.
This issue is affecting my gaming experience significantly. I'm seeking advice from someone who understands gaming PCs and doesn't require advanced technical knowledge. Thank you!
When you paid the individual who increased the card's speed, they might have modified the BIOS settings to ensure proper functionality. If you're able to reach out to them again, I believe it would be wise.
When you refer to a card, did you mean the CPU? Your GPU has never been overclocked.
