CS:GO FPS randomly capping problem

[Hedegare]

Hey CS:GO Steam Community
I have had this problem for a long time ago and I searched on google, on reddit and even on the youtube for a solution to this problem.

Everytime I am playing CS:GO my pc caps the game at 120fps, 180fps & 240fps depending on the place that I am in the game.
I have tried different resolutions, tried to change the definitions on my graphics card, tried to change the launch options and couldn't fix the problem.

And now I decided to "Start a New Discussion" here at the Steam Community, so I could find someone who had this same problem before and fixed it or someone who can advice me.

Best regards and thanks for reading !!

Some software adapts your framerate to avoid odd numbers.
I know this effect only from adaptive Vsync, but you probably do not have Vsync on.

I am sorry to not be able to help you, but merely show you the direction of your investigation.

BUY BETTER GPU

Did you try running an antivirus? A new trojan is actually affecting the gpu once it reaches a certain usage percentage, I was facing the same problem and after running Malwarebytes it was fixed. Additionally, you can try using "cl_forcepreload 0" (yes i know dev said it has been removed from game but it still causes crashes).

Incase you have Nvidia GPU then check the settings there as a lot of them might be causing a problem
Also, Check your drivers. Hope it helps :)

It's a starting point and I really appreciate that you took your time to answer the discussion.
Thank you !

What monitor do you use?

Is sounds like you have adaptive vsync turned on.

Try:
Nvdia Control Panel | 3D settings | Global Settings | Adaptive VSync = off
