Hi, I've just started playing CS2 and I'm facing a FPS issue. My setup includes a GTX 970 with 4GB VRAM, 8GB RAM, an i5-750OC 3.4 core. When bots are present, my FPS drops significantly—only around 20 FPS difference even after adjusting settings. But when I play solo, it's much smoother, reaching 150-180 FPS. It happens on PC too; in Wingman I get good performance, but in Competitive mode and Comp I see lower numbers, especially during casual or DM matches. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
The i5 750 needs a replacement. Time to upgrade to a new computer.
For a clean beginning and ease of use, consider installing a new M.2 boot drive. 1TB options are available for around $40 to $50. It’s definitely a good investment. You probably still have an older SATA SSD or even a HDD if you’re not using a modern system.
CS2 demands significantly more processing power compared to CS:GO. It also offers additional cores and cache, making CPUs such as 5800X3D or 7800X3D ideal choices. In contrast, older X3D models didn’t utilize extra cache effectively.
