Low GPU and CPU usage

[Jecyka]

GPU and CPU usage never go higher than 30-50% in CS2, but fps is still under 200.
I got RTX 3070 and I5-12400f.
I have fps unlocked and power plan is set to high.
What is holding my pc back?

[Kentsu]

Is vsync off?

[Jecyka]

Yeah, and I got 360hz monitor.

fps_max
-vulkan launch option
Overheating cpu or gpu
RAM sticks configure on MB and bios

Is it windows or linux ?

Windows settings or control panel > power safe modes

Nvidia control > 3D settings > power setting mode


Open cpu-z and tab "sensors"
Run cs2 in window mode and go play againts bots. How cpu-z sensors look ?

*
Previous cs2 update brought new feature in audio, mic talk. Try change that setting.

Also, go windows audio settings, inputs, and select microphone

I'm having the same problem. Did you manage to solve it?

[The Crusading Emu]

its probably just windows deciding that it doesnt want cs2 to use all of your cpu cores

[venenozera]

My problem is exactly the same as the friend who opened the post. However, my processor is a Ryzen 7 5700G, RTX3060Ti + 16GB RAM. I have already looked for several solutions for this, I set the nvidia panel to use maximum performance, I set CS2 to "high performance" in Windows game mode, Windows power mode is at maximum performance.

I'm using it in the CS2 startup option:
-high -fps_max 0

My CS2 Graphics settings:
Vsync ALWAYS OFF.
Res: 1440x1080 4:3 144hz
Antialising: MSAA 2x
Shadows: High
Texture filter: Medium
FidelityFX ALWAYS OFF.
Nvidia REFLEX: On
And others is off or minimum

P.S.: I've already used the 1280x960, it's the same performance!

All drivers are up to date (chipset, gpu, mobo)... I really don't know the reason for this problem and it's only in CS2, in CSGO it was +400fps, in CS2 -200fps (this in offline matches against bots, in competitive matches the average is ~165fps), but the CPU + GPU consumption doesn't exceed 30 ~ 50%, and in other games CPU and GPU consumption are normal.

Look fps_max again in game console.

*16GB RAM, one stick or two ?

16GB RAM Dual Channel

[Alucard Nosfera™]

Same issue. Even upgraded my CPU with one with way more singlecore performance, only got +40FPS average. Still can't reach stable 200+

Thanks for the help. Temps and nvidia settings are fine. I already updated bios and drivers. Its Windows 11. The new audio settings don't make any difference.
Must test cpu-z when I can.
I have 48gb DDR4 3200mhz ram.

I have the exact problem as yours. I also set the resolution to 1280x960 and it made no difference.

This sound wrong.

This is normal RAM size
8 -> 16 -> 32 -> 64

Tell us, how many RAM stick in use? Are those identical ?

sys_info in console give information also

[LoliFoxing]

I have video 3060 and a 2600x processor, I've used different gaids on increasing fps but I only get about 150, why so little? There are guys out there with ancient computers saying they have 300+, wtf

[prod]

same ♥♥♥♥ man..... laptop i7 12700 and 3070ti. cpu - 30% and fps 120-190 with drops to 60 when look from awp to molotov. game broken, how valve finally fix this

[Assassino707]

Try -threads 7 at launch options
