I upgraded to the GTX 770 from the GTX 460 a couple weeks ago, and its a lot better but doesnt seem to be running like it should and seems to be getting worse. I used to get between 100-200 fps in cs go (medium settings) which i still felt was lower than i should of been getting, but it seems to be going down, and will average a little below 100 and sometimes dip below 60.. Even when playing on a lower resolution (im 1920x1200 native) it doesnt change much of anything fps-wise. All my drivers are current and I've reinstalled the game and windows.

Specs:

AMD phenom x4 965 Black edition (3.4ghz OC to 3.8)

Gigabyte gtx 770 4gb

4GB RAM

ASUS M5A78L-M LX (mobo)

1st get 8Gb of RAM.

I own 280X and CS GO is runnig pretty good for about 120-270 fps on max setting with AA and all.

getting 200fps is just pointless in terms of gameplay, even if you have 120-144Hz screen.

You might be getting some spikes drops, I'd lube the CPU with thermal paste.

Well i have a 144hz monitor on the way so Ive been getting kinda OCD about my fps a little bit, but CS should not be running that low i feel, even if i didnt need the fps i just feel like somewhere my PC is under preforming. But ive really been noticing it barley being 100 a lot of times.I'll have to upgrade my ram and see if that helps at all, but CS really isnt that much of a demanding game. Seems like i get better fps in Bioshock infinite(on ultra everything up). I know maybe it could be CS's problem but a lot of people with worse specs than mine get better fps, even my friend who has a 550 or 560 or something gets an average of above 200

Well high RAM is always good wheter it's browsing the net or any multiplayer game (above 8Gb is for editing etc)

Try to change driver to a beta or to the original.

Also if you're getting better fps in other games such as Bioshock then it's CS GO related only and not about GPU or CPU

CSGO like most valve games like good CPUs. Our phenom IIs are bottlenecks for CSGO. The map makes a huge difference too, some of the newer maps don't run well at all.

More ram won't make a difference, CSGO uses like 1GB, 2GB at most.

It might be the gpu boost, Download EVGA Precision and click voltage button and activate k-boost that will force the gpu to run at max clockrate.

Does it matter that my card isnt EVGA? Its a gigabyte windforce GTX 770 4gb OC edition.

ive seen people complain about CS:GO with i7 's and 770's and 660ti's etc. but one fix that can work too is add -processheap to launch options.

I did some research and I think that issue should have been fixed by now.
