anyone else getting low GPU Usage in CS2?

[Nate]

When playing cs2 I am seeing as low as 25% GPU usage with a high of 50%. On top of that my FPS will drastically drop at times. going from 280 fps to as low as 180 fps. I am nowhere near the FPS is should be at with my rig at this low of a resolution. is anyone else having this problem?

here are my specs

GPU: RTX 3080 10GB

RAM: 32gb 4000Mhz Trident Z

CPU: i9 9900k

MOBO: Asus z390-e gaming

Resolution: 1280x960

CPU bottle neck my 3090 rtx is nicelly used at 50% usage 225w-300w with a fps LOCK 180
and 75-90% usage 360w-420w with no fps LIMIT 400-500 fps
with my i9-14900k 64gb DDR5 7000

I think the Nvidia drivers have been having major problems the last month or so. That could be to blame for CS2 poor performance. I'm using an older driver 537.58 from October, until the problems are fixed.

Same issue, tried every solution I could think of/find. Nothing works. I came to the conclusion that the game is really poorly optimized and/or the nvidia drivers are not working properly.

I have an i5 12600k and Nvidia geforce 4070

or... your system paging file is controlled by windows defaults... and not you?

You could switch to the studio drivers - because game ready rush jobs are just that.. rushes for the 'latest' game releases :?

I found the fix:
i have an rtx 4070 laptop and always had stutters - i couldnt fix it but this helped 100% my frametimes are now 100 rocksolid and perfectly fine. No more stutters.

Ill leave the link to the video here, its way easier to watch it instead me explaining it.

Have fun!

i have an i9 13900HX and now i use -threads 9 -> to use all 8 P-Cores and it works.

100% in main menu xD

R9 5950X
RTX2060
64 Gigs RAM

Getting 80-95% GPU usage.
About 300 to 500 FPS running around Inferno on a local server without bots.
I think what you guys have is a CPU bottleneck. Which would make sense because your GPU util isn't at 99%.

Edit: It was Inferno, not Mirage. And I thought this thread only had one page XD

Omg It works!!!

Any Update about this ??? I have the some ♥♥♥♥, please someone Need to help us

the answer is that your cpu is the issue, it is too old for your gpu, upgrade the cpu and motherboard and your problem would be solved.

can confirm this woked
even with gtx 1070 and Xeon X5670 I have 70-90 fps (compared to 30-50 befoer applying the fix)

Im running latest Gen hardware and have been having this issue since late Nov. 2023.

Ive moved to 2 brand new hardware setups, including my most recent $3k setup with entirely new windows license, no migrated files or config settings.

The only thing still in common is the monitors. There seems to be an issue requiring people to use the -vulkan setting if they are getting random lockups. I don't have a temperature issue or a driver issue. Ive tried old and new drivers. I also don't run out of power in this instance, there is a probably with the way multiple monitors and different resolution/HDR settings/refresh rates if there are any differences between the two monitors. In my instance i have both an ultrawide as a backup and a standard 1440p 27" as my main.

If you have crashes I recommend unplugging the other monitor, or loading in with -vulkan in your launch settings for cs2 even though it may result in somewhat lower performance. Better than locking up in an uncrecoverable state mid-game.

I just bought 4070 TI Super and i get fps 200-300.
Gpu usage %35 - 55 on max settings (1080p). But my cpu is 5600x so thats might be bottleneck problem idk. Normaly 200 fps is ok but i also bought 280hz monitor so i need at least 280 fps as stable.

what is solution when i start game its using 10-15% GPU and after game load in it crash
