Hi all,

First of all, let me say that I am completely new at this so please be nice :)

The bottom line of my issue is that I built myself a new "gaming" pc, which I am very proud of, everything runs great, but I get 40 fps on CSGO (medium settings), which is very disappointing...Metro LL is unplayable at 6 fps on the lowest possible settings (using fraps to monitor in game fps).

Here are my specs:

-Processor: 4 GHz AMD Athlon X2
-RAM: 32 GB DIMM DDR
-Memory speed: 1600 MHz
-HDD: 1 TB HDD 7200 rpm
- GPU: Sapphire Radeon NITRO R9 380X 4GB-(8GBx4) DDR3 1600 MT/s UDIMM
-OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit
- Power supply: 600W Corsair
(do I need to list anything else?)

To answer the common questions I have been asked before:

-Yes, I did update the GPU with the latest drivers ( they show as up to date on both windows and AMD software)
- I use the HDMI output of the GPU and not the motherboard output.
-I did benchmark with Valley and it shows a stable 60fps, if that means anything.
-I did try some overclock with Afterburner, with no impact at all, so I reverted to stock configuration.

What I suspect is happening (again, total noob):

-Some sort of bottleneck
-I use a TV display, could this be an issue?

I would really appreciate some help, so please try to figure it out, 50 fps on CSGO medium setting actually makes me angry :(

Thank you very much for trying !

the reason you are getting the low score is because your CPU is just not good. You could overclock this one and see, if it gets a bitt better, but you always will have a poor CPU. You could try adding a 860k, but generally speaking, your platform doesn´t provide a good CPU for your graphics card. It just bottlenecks it.

sorry mate

Hello Helpstar,

Thanks for trying, but I did exactly as stated above and there was no difference in the 3d mark score, with a very low physics score:

Again, I am no expert, but I have a stock AMD cpu cooler on there, could this be the reason?

Still getting around 50 fps on CSGO :(

Thanks anyways,
