Bought a GTX 1060 to increase CS:GO fps but it didn't increase anything?

Freddo_1 · Feb 10, 2017

I recently bought a "Asus GeForce GTX 1060 STRIX" to increase my CS:GO fps because i thought that i already have a good CPU(AMD FX-8150), and that i only needed to upgrade my old GPU(GTX 650Ti) to increase the fps, from about 175fps to maybe 500?

So i installed the new gpu and also got myself a new SSD and installed Windows 10 for the first time. Then i realised i didnt get any increase in fps what so ever, still have around 100- 300 fps in CS:GO.

I've been doing alot of research on the internet for some solutions but i've only found "Overheating" and youtube videos like "How to increase FPS in CS:GO" but nothing worked(I've totally cleaned my pc from any dust and also applied new "cpu cooling paste"). My cpu temp is about 40C when idling and 60C when playing CS:GO.

I feel like it shouldnt have anything to do with windows, since its a pretty "clean" install (installed about a month ago).

Thanks in advance!

CS:GO is more CPU intensive than GPU. What does you CPU utilization look like?

Temps sound fine, but if your CPU is near maxing out, they only way to see a FPS boost, would be to OC your 8150.

is v-sync on turn this off. also have you the latest gpu drivers and bios updated. is your resolution at the right one is the refresh rate of your monitor displaying over 144hz if this is displaying only 144hz then it will do 144fps 1440p monitors

CSGO is bottlenecked around 300 FPS on the fastest Intel CPU's. Your 8150 is not going to get there. Your 750ti was already as fast as you need for max FPS, at least at the reduced settings CSGO players use.

The other day, I found out vsync was maxing out my 2500k to 100% load.
I disabled vsync which brought my utilization down to 80%.
I did some further research and found out you should match your fps with your monitors refresh rate.
By "capping" my fps to 144 to match my 144hz monitor's refresh rate brought my cpu utilization down the 50%.
Correct me if i'm wrong but people tend to get hung up on high fps without an understanding of what's actually needed based on what monitor you have.
In my opinion the gtx 750 ti was good enough for that game.

Yeah REALLY REALLY high frame rates tend to lag CPUs a lot. So your CPU is the bottleneck.

Thanks for the fast answers! i'm probably going to invest in a new cpu and motherboard!

I recommend before you buy anything to achieve a certain framerate, verify that someone with that component actually gets that framerate. You can't just pull numbers out of the air, if this card gets me Xfps then that card should get me X times 2 fps. It doesn't work that way. Eventually you reach a point of diminishing returns on any system, where performance isn't going to climb much anymore.
