Hey guys, I recently built a new desktop and whenever i play CS:GO, my FPS starts at 150-200 on high settings then over time drops to around 50 and even lower until the game becomes unplayable. If i restart my PC, the problem goes away but continues to persist every time. I was wondering if my graphics card is the problem. My card is a GTX 650 Ti BOOST and my other specs are:

Windows 7
AMD FX 8350
8GB RAM

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

I have the same card and when I play CS: GO I get 250 fps and its constant and never drops. It a beast of a card for $170! I feel as if your psu or a heat issue. The card is not weak at all! CS: GO is a breeze for the card. I get 60 fps on ultra bf3 with this card. Not weak at all!

it's still probably the card, it probably has problems. and yes it does explain it because it's like opeining programs like i said, even though the programs are idle it still builds up a ram problem, hench you need a reboot. it's the same thing. like, a weak cpu starts off fine, but after a while it builds up a problem. maybe the drivers need to be updated, who knows, but it still doesn't alleviate the fact it's a weak card and he should get another one.

and i already said this.

the temps appear to be fine.

i'm saying maybe he has a driver issue or something. it still is a weak card, i checked benchmarks and other offerings has like twice as much as performance.

so i was wrong, and stand corrected, it was more of a suggestion more then anything.

like he said, it's a weird situation.
