Really good laptop still can't run cs go

[Griffith Did Nothing Wrong]

I have an Asus GL552JX-XO093D:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4200H 2.8GHz up to 3.4GHz 3Mb
RAM: 6GB (2GB + 4GB) DDR3L 1600MHz
VGA: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 4GB + Intel HD 4600
Windows 8.1 Single Language 64-bit

When I play CS GO it runs really slow with a 30-40 fps.
I thought it was because it was run by the integrated graphic cards but then i opened my NVIDIA control panel and it said the game was run by the high-performance graphic cards.

I could get max settings on dota 2 at first but then everytime i play CSGO fps drop remarkably. After that, I checked my computer by playing dota 2 and it dropped from 70 fps to 20 fps.

However, my Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is still running very smooth, which is a really weird thing.

I tried reinstalling my graphics drivers, moving the steam folder and many other things but none has worked.

PLS HELP ME GUYS :(.

CS:GO is a CPU intensive game, your GPU won't do much, and your CPU is just on par.

Sadly, you are going to need to play it with everything set at low.
I own myself an ASUS lappy with a 880M and I can run lots of games at ultra but CS:GO, nope, doesnt run smooth unless everything at low.

you just have problem with windows or your pc is broken

Laptops have never ever been good for running games and they probably won't be for decades. You can search the internet for Source engine performance tweeks but you won't be able to get fantastic performance. It's not uncommon for better players to use lower resolutions like 1024x768 etc so you should be able to get some improvement in performace.

Unfortunately as the saying goes, you can't squeeze blood from a stone.

Thanks guys.
I just feel it's really weird when a laptop can run big games with no problem but struggle with these less system demanding games.
Guess i have to accept my fate.

But one thing is that when I set the game to lowest settings the FPS is even lower than it is at default settings. Anyone knows why ?

That's strange. Back when CS first came out I was playing on a 900 Mz laptop and doing just fine. Csgo isn't really any more intensive. Granted 30 fps was actually pretty good back then.

I'm guessing there is probably a bottleneck in performance somewhere. I'm guessing it's the CPU or internal data bandwidth. Also the internal GPU may be optimized for higher quality screen settings. That's all I can think of.

I have a similar problem where adjusting my screen size and image quality has limited affect on fps because my older CPU is holding this games performance back. It's quite a CPU dependant game.

what you mean like you have 4 fps and with lowest quality you still get 4... that sucks

You can manage your GPU GeForce GPU's from this brand comes with applications that allows you to add certain games or any other 3d applications such as Autodesk softwares to the GPU list. On my laptop i had to add cs go.exe to that list, so the GeForce GPU will be working on it, if you start cs go by default, the default HD gpu will be working on it, so that will cause fps drops, since GPU ge force ain't activated when cs go runs - by default settings. Most probably your GeForce GPU is isnt working with cs go process, it runs by default HD GPU.

I have an Asus as well and i have no problems.

Make sure your power saving futures are maxed out even when on battery.

I had the same problem and what would happen is that my laptop would use half power for my graphics card (gtx 965). Same if I was using the battery. And if on battery and I plugged back in, it would not go back to normal tell I restarted laptop.

So basically it is really not a good laptop then? did i solve the discussion of this thread?

My friend has a laptop almost identical in specs... He runs it at ultra settings 200fps.

8GB ram
i7 xxxxQ (I forget)
GTX 840M
Windows 8.1
