Why am I alway's getting FPS drops?

[Bob Ross Zombie 1512]

If anyone has spec'd me before in CS:GO you'd see I get A LOT of FPS drops. I laugh it off in JB and all but when comes down to trying to enjoy the game at times, it comes to be a nuisance. I can somehow run TF2 without trouble, but CS:GO just does this constantly.

Here's my specs:

Windows 7
 

HP Pavilion Notebook dv5

 

AMD Athlon 2 p340 (Dual 2.20 ghz)
 

Ram 4g (3.75 gb avail)

64 bit operating system


I run everything on the lowest settings possible, everything on windows is toned down to the most basic (Yet cosmetically pleasing) setting. My internet aint even that bad

Upgrade your processor

 

get more ram

 

Oh my god I didn't realize you were running on a notebook. Get rid of that shit and buy parts separately from newegg

Do you have a secondary dedicated GPU? Not the one integrated.

[Bob Ross Zombie 1512]

Yea I know it's a laptop but Shit's gotta last me till I can get a new tower. I even have all processes off except Steam and windows

Its most likely just your integrated GPU. My old Laptop used to drop frames a lot as well.

SINCE EVERYBODY HAS A HARDWARE HARDON AND DOESN'T SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING

 

It's a common problem with CS:GO. In War3, it's highly common for me to have my FPS drop to ~20 on max settings, even with my rig's specs instead of my usual 140+fps. I've experienced it in comp, but not nearly as often

Well Mr. I NEG REP ANYONE I DON'T AGREE WITH, I changed my CPU minimum rate from 5% to 60%. Since I have been having far less FPS drops.

That can definitely affect it, but the problem is still largely on valve's end

[Pedosnar 9]

Where you getting fps drops before the last update as well? Valve changed something with threads of a CPU in the last update. Try putting in your launch options

[Bob Ross Zombie 1512]

I added the -2 threads, gave a very slight boost. But today I found the problem.

My screen on my laptop is cracked, so I have it HDMI to a TV. My Resolution was at 1270 x 720 or somewhere liker that. Which was giving me 12 fps MAX

I change the resolution to a 16:9 wide screen with a smaller resolution and I am at 40 fps! Better then before. gonna play some comp and give it a try

[Moose 4890]

Even though your computer isn't the greatest, mofl is right. In comp I get between 300-400 fps. Very rarely in comp anymore do these fps drops happen to me anymore with some of valves past updates, but it's still a big issue in populated servers. I find that anything with 20+ people in it almost always I'll eventually start getting fps drops (like down to anywhere from 10-60) and restarting csgo eliminates the problem.

[Velo 2077]

I have frequent fps drops too.. one time i went from 300 to 270fps

[Bob Ross Zombie 1512]

well in due time I will be building a rig. New Egg here I come

[Popsicle_Ninja 34]

Have you gotten the cum out of your ethernet port yet?

 

on a more serious note amd isnt the best for producing frame rates and the integrated gpu will definitely not help

 

 

 

maybe try downloadmoreram.com brah

is ur cpu running to hot? that was happening to me a few months ago and after i fixed it. it was all smooth sailing.
