Hey guys ive got a new laptop
I7 13gen with rtx 4050, when im playing on high settings (not even the highest) i get like 120fps and it feels even less, with low settings i can get 200-230 (again, feels like less) fps but its so annoying to play like that. Is this reasonable according to my laptops specifications? Thanks

Tf that means
7600x 3070 ti 600 fps

600fps is diabolical
i'd say its pretty average for a laptop with those specs, you will not get desktop performance when your laptop cpu/gpu is pulling less than half of the wattage of a desktop cpu/gpu. 4050m is also considerably weak, slower than even a gtx 1070 so you are better off playing low settings

I had no idea its that weak bro fk me

No way bro are you running black ops 6 or cs

Ryzen 5 5600 rtx 3050, 290-350fps, sometimes 400, but it always drops when i have many smokes/nades

Well i guess the 3050 is stronger than the 4050

Hahahah, i guess this is not valve problem, i updated my windows 11 to 24h2 version and i got fps drops (ofc I removed windows.old folder), mb try to reinstall it…

Fr bro? I just installed it yesterday, you think it would help to reinstall?
Hey there! Let's troubleshoot your FPS issues. While your i7 13th gen with an RTX 4050 *should* deliver better performance than 120 FPS on high settings in most games, several factors can contribute to lower-than-expected frame rates. 200-230 FPS on low settings is better, but the "feels like less" part points to potential bottlenecks.

Here's a breakdown of what to investigate:

1. Game-Specific Settings:

Resolution: Even on high settings, a higher resolution (like 1440p or 4K) will dramatically impact FPS. Make sure you're playing at a resolution your laptop can comfortably handle. Try reducing the resolution if necessary.
Ray Tracing and DLSS/FSR: If the game supports ray tracing, turning it off will likely boost your FPS significantly. Conversely, if DLSS (Nvidia Deep Learning Super Sampling) or FSR (Fidelity Super Resolution) is available, *enable* it. These technologies upscale lower-resolution images, resulting in smoother performance without a significant visual loss.
VSync: Disable VSync. This synchronizes your frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate. While it can reduce screen tearing, it can also significantly limit your FPS if your game's framerate exceeds your monitor's refresh rate.
Shadow Quality, Texture Quality, and Anti-Aliasing: These settings are major performance hogs. Experiment with lowering these settings. Often, a noticeable drop in quality isn't proportional to the FPS gain.

2. Background Processes:

Close unnecessary applications: Ensure that you're not running any resource-intensive applications (like video editors, streaming software, or web browsers with many tabs) in the background while gaming.
Check for resource-heavy processes: Open your Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and monitor CPU and GPU usage. If other programs are using a significant portion of your resources, close them.

3. Driver Updates & System Optimization:

Update your graphics drivers: Make absolutely sure you have the latest drivers for your RTX 4050 from Nvidia's website. Outdated drivers are a common cause of performance problems.
Update Windows: Ensure your Windows operating system is up-to-date.
Power settings: Set your laptop's power plan to "High Performance" while gaming.
Thermal throttling: Your laptop might be overheating, causing the CPU and GPU to throttle (reduce performance) to prevent damage. Make sure your laptop's vents are unobstructed and consider using a cooling pad. Monitor CPU and GPU temperatures using monitoring software. High temperatures are often the culprit of that "feels like less" feeling.

4. Hardware Limitations:

RAM: Low RAM can cause stuttering and FPS drops. Check how much RAM you have and consider upgrading if it's below 16GB.
* Storage: If you're playing from an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), the slower read speeds can be a major bottleneck. An SSD (Solid State Drive) is strongly recommended for gaming.

5. Game Optimization:

Game settings files: Sometimes games have configuration files that can be edited manually to improve performance. Look for online guides specific to the game you're playing.


Start with the easier steps first (1 & 2). If you still have issues, then proceed to 3 and 4.

If, after trying all these steps, you're *still* experiencing unexpectedly low frame rates, then the 4050 might be slightly underpowered for the resolution and graphical settings you're using, or there might be a deeper hardware or software problem requiring professional help. It's also worth noting that the RTX 4050 is a mobile GPU, and its performance won't be identical to its desktop counterpart.
the csgo2 is ♥♥♥♥ optimised, even whit high end pc: the frame time is ridiculous bad whit 1% lows that bring me back to 60hz time on laggy server on the school laptops... bring back cs go!

Omg. There are no and there never will be ray/path tracing in any fast paced flick shooter like CS2. Why would you think.. I can't even.. Jesus.

There is no DLSS/frame gen because it would introduce significant input lag - which is NOT needed in, I say it again, fast paced flick shooter like CS2. And you don't want to enable FSR unless you want to see blurry, pixellated vaseline covered image. It indeed does reduce the image quality, a lot. You can try this out to see what I mean.

HDD would only affect loading times so it's not a bottleneck in any way regarding the framerate.


If I had to guess why you get so low framerate, my money would be on too high resolution+throttling/overheating. And 4050m is equivalent to ~1080 (desktop). But don't worry, your GPU doesn't matter that much in CS2. This game needs a beefy CPU for those juicy frames.
