Your CS:GO is running slowly.
Hey everyone, I've been experiencing low FPS lately. Before the update, others faced similar issues. My specs are an i5 4690K (not overclocked at 3.5GHz), G1 970, and a G1 970 SLI 212 cooler. I usually run at 1280x1024 or 1440x1080 at 144Hz with Lightboost at 120Hz. Sometimes I push higher settings, but I end up with frame drops and stuttering. My refresh rate is 144Hz, yet I still see stuttering. I’m trying to keep FPS matching my refresh rate, but it’s not working. Should I try overclocking back to around 4.0-4.2GHz as before? I’m currently using the lowest possible settings for this build, which seems counterintuitive given the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Check turning off one GPU in the Nvidia Control Panel and observe the results.
I faced the same problem before purchasing my second 970; the slippage wasn't the main concern.
Consider turning off SLI in CS:GO and observe the improvement. Using MSI Afterburner with monitoring might reveal the bottleneck component. It seems Source doesn<|pad|> can't fully use 4 cores.
Disable VSync, limit FPS to 144, but be aware of potential stutter and drops when using higher settings.
