FPS cut down in half. Please help

[blaxar]

It's been about a month since I've played CSGO and had the net_graph showing my FPS. When I was playing yesterday i knoticed my FPS went from 120-140 avg to about 60fps. The only difference in my set up was that i switched from a LCD monitor using VGA cable at 1600x900 res to 22" LED TV with HDMI at 1920x1080p res.

Why did my game all of sudden drop in FPS when just switching monitors? is there a fix or did valve really unoptimize the game over the past month or so?

here is my PC Specs.
i7 2600 3.4GHz processor
8GB DDR3 Ram
ATI Radeon HD 6770 1gb VRAM

from 1600x900= 1440000 pixel, 1920x1080=2073600 pixel, lower your graphics settings, it's just a normal fps drop because higher resolution

Did you perhaps enable Wait for vertical sync while you switched monitors? Try disabling it in the advanced video settings. Allthough 60 fps should be perfectly fine.

wrong. It doesn't have such a high impact, maybe about 5 fps if any.

wrong. 120 fps (constantly reachable, in every situation, like having fps from 120-200 or so) playing on 120hz is the goal to achieve.

Here's what I've toned down my settings to http://i.imgur.com/oMSXAE0.jpg and still get around 50-60fps. If I chose to record it drops to around 40. While 60fps is good, I'd just like to know why my frame rate dropped so much

if they are wrong then can you help to find out why my FPS has dropped so much.

Unfortunately not, you should have wayyy more fps. There is something broken, maybe even on hardware side? Though I'm not so good at graphic cards, if yours is too old, it is the reason. Still you should have at least 120 ...

Switching back to your old monitor brings back the high fps?

I switched to my old monitor and only get 80fps. I have an ATI Radeon HD 6770 1gb. Idk how it could be the graphics card when it had no problem playing with over 120fps in the past. I tried downgrading the software to an older update of my driver for my GPU but it still has the same problem. If my GPU or any hardware was broken then i most likely wouldnt be able to play any games or do anything.

Are the fans on the card wound way up? It might be throttling.

I over clock my fans to 70%. I actually just fixed it all. I just had to change the game to full screen windowed mode. and now im getting 160+- fps.
