Basically ill put my specs here :
NVIDIA GTX960
INTEL I5 2500K(NOT OC'ED)
8GB RAM

The problem is that i only get around 100 FPS in CS:GO(and sometimes under 60) when i sould get around 120FPS all the time(my friend has the same computer and he gets 160+FPS all the time).
Does anyone have an idea as to what the issue is? I've done some basic stuff such as reinstalling drivers and what not.

is that so? cs:go isn't a very demanding game. try to check the airflow of your case, maintain nice ventilation. keeping that temp for a long time will degrade system performance and will give your components a shorter lifespan.

After playing CS:GO the max temp on the CPU were 70 celsius. The GPU was 72 at max.
Except steam I have no apps running in the background.
