Yes, this is typical for CSGO.

He claims to have a 3800x and consistently maintains at least 250 FPS at maximum settings and 1440p resolution. However, on certain maps like Vertigo Ill, his performance drops significantly to around 220 FPS or higher. His 3Dmark score is in the 91st percentile, which suggests he's performing well overall. Given that he mentioned slight overclocking, it's possible he's pushing the hardware beyond its stable range. It seems unlikely he's lying entirely—his stats align with a capable build, but stability varies depending on the game.
They probably misled us... or they’re ignoring the FPS display. Or maybe you interpreted their words incorrectly, since most are around 250 frames per second. It doesn’t really matter because someone who plays better will always perform better, even on a 60fps setup.
Yes, it makes sense. I use a Ryzen 7 1700X, which performs much less powerfully than yours, and I usually achieve 120-170 frames per second across most games.
Remember that Crysis in 2007 worked around 40 frames per second on a $600 GPU. That suggests 100 fps should be manageable even in less optimized sections.
Yes, you can adjust your frame rate to match your monitor's refresh rate for smoother visuals.
