Lower csgo performance after GPU upgrade

[враги молитесь]

Hello guys, I was recommended to ask here about that. My cpu is i7-4790. I had a dying gtx 980 (its cooling system broke I guess) and changed it to the rtx 2070 super. Now I can run witcher 3 on ultra 60fps with no problem, but somehow csgo performance became slightly worse than it was. It's ridiculous but now I get lower fps. I know that csgo is a cpu-based game but anyway, how is it possible that I have a better gpu and lesser fps ? Please tell me if you have any ideas

Your CPU was bottlenecking both cards which is why performance remains nearly identical. The lower performance on the new card you can blame on drivers.

I thought about it as well but bottlenecking doesn't seem to be the problem as the load on both gpu and cpu is nearly the same. What do you mean by blaming drivers by the way ? Of course I've installed the new ones before playing on a new card

One thing i was experimenting with lately, specifically with older intel cpu-s... try changing windows power plan to high performance and see if it changes anything.

Also how do you monitor cpu load? If you are bottlenecked by cpu it is single thread performance limitation. Pretty hard to notice with how windows switches threads between cores constantly.

Oh, thats a good point, I'm not too experienced in this regard so there is a possibility that I just didn't notice bottlenecking. I monitor it with MSI Afterburner RivaTuner

If GPU usage is lower than 99%, and there's no frame limiting in place - this is CPU bottleneck. Comparing loads of 4-core CPU and 2560-core graphics cards make no sense, those are two really different hardware pieces that work on different tasks. Tasks than CPU does can't be easily split between cores/threads.

Run DDU to clean your graphics drivers then reinstall your gpu drivers for your new gpu.

As for the bottleneck if you have an overclockable chip +chipset(has k at the end of its name, not sure about which chipset) push that as far as stable as you can get. Otherwise its time to upgrade that CPU and motherboard.

Unfortunately, even i9-9900k has only around 20% higher per-core performance than i7-4790, and rest doesn't matter to CS:GO much, so upgrade won't really solve this.

You guys sure the 4790k is bottlenecking the GPU? Gamers Nexus showed some benchmarks and even with a 2080ti they never mentioned a bottleneck. Lower fps than with a 9900k or 9700k sure, but most titles were well in the 120fps range.

This is CSGO we are talking about, not the latest AAA games.

So far there's no CPU in existence that won't bottleneck 2070S in CS:GO unless you go stupidly high resolutions and AA methods.

I know I goofed with my first posted video, but this looks is CSGO with a 4790k but with a 2080 (similar setup). He gets good frame rates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u9UrF1XueQ.

From what I understand, OP's confusion comes not from low framerates, but from the lack of boost after GPU upgrade. As you can see from the video you posted, even with 2160p MSAA x8 max settings CPU still bottlenecks.

I hear that. Let's say the bottleneck neck should still be there and is normal, but if the performance actually got worse then I suspect there it's an abnormal problem awaiting a fix. I want to know what his frames rates were and are (not sure if I just missed that). Because it should be comparable to the fps in the video.

Keep in mind that mine is without K, just 4790 and therefore is not overclockable as far as I know

[_I_]

some z boards are able to use 'cpu upgrade' feature to fake it as a k and overclock non k cpus

but not being binned as a k cpu will limit its overclockability compared to k cpus
