I play csgo and i know that csgo needs a fast CPU speed and mine is only 2.8 ghz and i get 90 fps in lowest resolution and very low settings is that normal fps while having a gtx 960 plus a i5 6402???? im thinking of upgrading to a i5 7600k and a gtx 1060 6gb.
 
If the only game you play is CS:GO, upgrading your GPU will do absolutely nothing. You could likely run the game at max details and see no drop in performance. A faster CPU would help.

What's your refresh rate? Be aware that any framerates higher than your monitor's refresh rate will result in the extra frames just being discarded, doing you no good.

It basically means that your monitor is refreshing 60 times a second. If the game has 60 frames per second at 60 refreshes per second, you've basically have max performance. Certain gaming monitors have 120hz which means that you'd need 120 fps for max performance ALTHOUGH you can have higher fps and things like animations and such will be visibly better quality but by 100fps you've basically hit the maximum frames you can perceive. the more fps you get, the less it will affect the quality until you can't even notice it at all. I'd cap it at 120 if you still plan to upgrade. Remember, a stable but lower fps is better than 600 standing still and 400 while moving/looking around.

Question from maurimcfly : "Fps for 6402p 2.8 ghz CSGO"



Something else is wrong. That is a decent CPU and a 6600k isn't that much faster.

Do you have the monitor plugged into the motherboard or the GTX960?
