Your FPS seems off.
Your FPS seems off.
Hello, I returned to CS:GO after a six-month break and noticed my FPS remained stuck around 60+ most of the time, only spiking to 68-69 when in the main menu. To fix this, I lowered the resolution to 1900x1200 and adjusted graphics settings from high to medium, which boosted my FPS to over 100. However, before leaving CS:GO, I was certain my performance exceeded 100+ even with native resolution and top settings. My system specs include a Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB DDR4 RAM, an RX590 GPU, Corsair Platinum 1000 PSU, H100i cooler, and an Asus ProArt X570 monitor (Ultrawide 3440x1440). Another odd observation is that with the new settings, my FPS would frequently jump from 100+ to 300+ whenever I entered a smoke effect. It’s quite frustrating.
I remember my machine handling around 500 fps during CSGO sessions, though that was a long time ago. It wouldn’t surprise me if recent graphics improvements made the game run smoother. I’d check your graphics settings to spot anything unusual. Regarding higher FPS numbers, I think I might have experienced a drop when I first began playing smoke dropped. Increasing the FPS seems logical since rendering becomes simpler with mostly white screens. It’s unlikely you can completely prevent the jump—just disable the FPS counter if it bothers you.
