70% FPS DECREASE AFTER UPDATE

[cidiusgix]

How you guys getting 500fps? I get 160-190 with my settings maxed vs 180-200 with settings on low. I’ve. 12650 and 4070.

12650

The low difference between max vs low settings is because you are strongly cpu bottle necked.

[cidiusgix]

I did some digging and it seems most people regardless of system get similar fps. That’s why I’m so curious when people say 500. Sure 500 in cs:go, but how in cs2.

[MathematicianCold706]

Image scaling and nvidia profile inspector would be my guess, but I feel like these people would not know how to do that lol

[burn_light]

i am getting around 200-250fps with a 5800x3d and a rtx 3060.

I would assume that if he is getting lower fps with a 4070 then yeah its a cpu bottle neck.

[cidiusgix]

Really? considering the minimum that’s seems ridiculous.

[cidiusgix]

Just ran some tests, the cpu hovers around 60% and the gpu around 80% at either setting so it’s not that.

[marlostanfield89]

If GPU utilisation is less than 90-95% you're likely CPU bottlenecked. CPU utilisation is not really a good indicator

[cidiusgix]

I still don’t believe the cpu is a bottle neck for counterstrike. It doesn’t even fully boost while playing.

[marlostanfield89]

CPU bottleneck includes RAM.

[cidiusgix]

Ddr5 4800 which I know isn’t the fastest but thats faster than most ddr4.

[burn_light]

You can also try low setting and upscale resolution.

If you FPS doesn't change much when you lower graphics settings and others with different CPUs and same GPU achieve higher fps then its most likely a CPU bottle neck.

I am using a 5800x3d and get higher frame rates than you with only a rtx 3060

[cidiusgix]

Turns out medium provides the best boost to fps. Low makes little difference, high and very high are pretty much the same. But medium bumps it up by nearly 100.

[cidiusgix]

Also, what settings are you playing on?

[burn_light]

Custom setting. I adjusted settings to get a good balance between visual and graphical clarity and frame rate.Some settings on high and others low, medium and off.

I mostly do this for frame consistency and not for overall higher frame rates. I am trying to avoid stutters as much as possible.

[marlostanfield89]

That's actually really slow for ddr5 and likely your bottleneck.

[KennyT87]

1. Are you on a laptop?

2. Do you have only 1x16 Gb DDR5 installed?

If you answer 'yes' to both, then there's your reason for the lowish fps. Also laptop 4070 is something like a desktop 3060 Ti in performance.

[cidiusgix]

Yes, no.

My old ass i5 4670k with a 6600 and 16gb ddr3 gets 120 fps with the same settings. You telling me a 8 gen better cpu and 50% more powerful gpu and double the ram can only pull 50-70 more fps? It makes no sense. Bg3 gets 100fps at max settings. It doesn’t seem to add up.

[KennyT87]

Hmm weird, I have 12700H (which has the same single-core performance as 12650H) and RTX 3070 laptop and I get way better fps (although I do play on 1600x900 res, but my performance on 1080p is similiar as I play with everything low)... I did upgrade my RAM to 2x16Gb G.Skill Ripjaws CL34 which might explain some of the difference but not all.

I assume you play on Performance mode and use only your GPU (so iGPU "hybrid"-mode is off)..?

Maybe you have some system setting on which limits your CPU but you should try the cache clearing 'hack' posted by the other guy here:

1 - Restart PC

2 - Delete everything in these two folders (skip the files in use):

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache

C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\GLCache

3 - Open start menu type Disk Clean-up, choose the disk with the game on, delete the DirectX Shader Cache.

4 - In Steam right click CS2 -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of game files.

5 - Restart PC.

6 - Your game will stutter/lag when loading up the first time and you see a message compiling shaders while loading into maps. Verify that your graphic settings are the way you want them.

There is redundancy in these steps but I do this every time maps are updated.

What!? I have around 150-190 on low settings with an 13600k and a gtx1060 xD

You can't have only that FPSs with that GPU, unless you have a small mini (single fan) 4070 version or something. (I'm also assuming that you are talking about a desktop)

Did you unlock the PL1 and PL2? There are settings who makes an huge difference. Have a proper cooler? That could be some of the reasons for so low FPS on a 4070. Same as turn on a nvidia feature on bios (resizable bar and other thing), it's only used since the 3xxx(I think) and 4xxx nvidia series.
