Why is my CSGO FPS so low?
Why is my CSGO FPS so low?
I've been enjoying CS:GO since June last year. Many people mention it can run on potatoes, but my setup has a dual-core i5 with hyperthreading and integrated graphics. I'm getting about 40 FPS even at the lowest settings—720p is very low. Do you have any advice to boost my FPS? If a potato could play CS:GO like I can, there might be an issue with my specs.
Choose a dedicated GPU instead of using built-in graphics. Purchase a more powerful PC if you're on a laptop, as this is the optimal approach. Edited February 18, 2016 by Colt_0pz
It seems it lacks integrated graphics and runs on just two cores, making it unsuitable for gaming.
It's not that bad at all. Clear out a few running programs in Task Manager before starting to save space.
All settings adjusted to minimal levels. Game can run smoothly at 60-100fps on HD4600 GPU.
