Hi there,

This is very much a luxury problem but I'm getting like 200-280 fps when playing CS GO(Most of the settings are on high because I like the look of it - it goes like 260-320 on low), and I recon that I should really be getting more. I get min. 100 fps in BF4 with everything on the highest setting.

System specs:
I7-4930k
Gigabyte 780TI GHz Edition
16 GB RAM
ASUS ROG Mobo
256 SSD(which CS:GO is installed upon)

I have a friend with specs no where near as good a mine but he get's like 500 fps.

Is it just because of the games lack of ability to utilize the CPU or what do you think?

I found out that this problem was caused by windows power saving options. I had reinstalled my OS recently and my system was set to a balanced profile was meant that it lowered my CPU ratio whenever possible.

Just switching to the high performance profile will fix this.

I should mention that in Source Engine-based games, it seems the FPS from the built-in benchmark are not the exact FPS, because there is another "0" or whatever at the end of the exact FPS. Example: 100 FPS = 1000 FPS in console. (Based on my CS:GO built-in benchmark, when the map is loading I got 140 - 150 FPS but I fell the things are slow, then I realized that something is wrong)
