CS:GO running slow

[KeesKachel]

CS:GO is running slower than usual on my Macbook Pro Retina + Windows 7. Unplayable. I usually run the game smooth on 2880x1800, but since the last update, the game runs terribly slow. At 1900x1200 it still has too low FPS.

I completely reinstalled Windows 7, updated all drivers, but the problems isn't solved.

Specs:
i7 2.3GHz
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (1GB)
251GB SSD harddisk

Anyone else experiencing problems?

A have got these problems since the latest update (dec 20 2012).

Verify game cache? https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335&l

Try to kill as many uneccessary processes as you can in task manager.

Turn off multicore rendering in video settings?

Try different VSync settings. Make sure it isn't forced by your NVidia control centre.

Rename clientregistry.blob? https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7241-EYON-2343

Thanks, will try!

Unfortunately, this didn't help. I verified the cache, renamed the blob, killed all but the necessary processes and tried every video setting, with no success.

I experience that my mouse speed is terribly slow, also during the in-game menu. The mouse speed during the main menu seems to be normal, but even when selecting a map, the overall speed drops dramatically..

I got same problems aswell, i am currently trying to reinstall cs:go

[KeesKachel]

I'm installing Source, to see how this runs with max. settings, to see if the same problems occur.

how much fps do u have in-game? (min-max)
taking your posts in mind i guess ist the hardware problem.
check yout temps before and after game, also dont forget to clean your pc out of dust, clean coolers and add new thermal paste that should do the trick.

Another thing you can try is cl_disablehtmlmotd 1 in console, seems to be giving people errors so maybe it's causing slow down for you.

I fixed this issue by completely disabling multisampling thing in advanced video, I had it on triple before I believe.

[KeesKachel]

I tried all of the above, except cleaning my pc, because it is a 1 month old laptop.

It runs at 20FPS at 2880x1800 and around 30FPS at 1900x1200. CS Source runs at around 200FPS, so it looks to me CS:GO is the problem :(

The weirdest is: the problem occurred suddenly, the game used to run silky smooth, but after a CS:GO update (and NO update of Win7/drivers) the game runs too slow to use.

Oh well. Try steam support if you want to try getting more help. For now, you could try putting the video settings down. Perhaps you could even pinpoint which setting is causing it and tell steam support.

[KeesKachel]

I've found the solution. The problem had nothing to do with Steam or CS:GO, it was damn apple. For people that experience the problems on a mac: reset SMC and NVRAM.

Thanks for your input guys :)

Nice good job. How did you find that out?

[KeesKachel]

I searched for most common problems with this macbook, such as fan problems and peaks in CPU usage. SMC + NVRAM apparently is the solution for most of the weird apple problems.

well at least you manage to fix your problem, so what is your fps right now?
