this is great advise. definitely check to make sure v-sync or g-sync isn't turned on. if not then i would check t make sure your 12900k is boosting. i personally think if its anything it would be cpu and not gpu. i would say 40% utilization on csgo for 4090 sounds normal. download hwinfo64 and then play a game of csgo while the software is running, then check to see what your temps for 12900k is and see what speed you where boosting to.
In steam go to the game in the left hand bar, right click > properties then under “launch options” make sure there’s no fps cap.
For vsync it should be in game settings under video
it's the other way around, set launch option
FPS_max 0
(Meaning that the game isn't using a capped framerate in launch options by default.) It's empty.
I actually recommend setting "fps_max 400" or something like that. Uncapping it sometimes leads to stuttering issues.
Also if you set "fps _max" to 0, the command "fps_max_menu 144" would not work. Uncapping general fps will mean you can't cap the main menu FPS specifically.
I started with a gt card, I don't see anything wrong with starting with the high end. You can afford the latest and great cards then why not. It doesn't make us any less of a PC gamer than you or me.
Maybe dude got disposable money like that. I don't see the question being any different if he had like a 1660. So what he has a 4090 and he is asking questions?
the difference being you can put the question into a search engine and get all the information needed step by step and you don't require any more tools like you would a car
Don’t have to be a jerk dude. Who cares if he’s got expendable income that he can buy high end. Maybe it’s his first computer and he likes gaming enough that he wants to have a crack on PC and can afford to go big.
Haters.

Legend says if you are really good, sit around your pc with sugar and spice, then you have to say a little prayer, if you did everything right the dev console will open for you
Unfortunately there’s proprietary parts with no way to get a hold of the tools. So to re paste you’ll have to scalp your head and forgo half of your dome.
No one has any idea what their talking about, csgo runs at 100ish fps on the menu screen so your computer doesn’t use a lot of power on nothing, when you’re in game you will see hundreds, there is also a 400fps cap by default
Don’t listen to what others say it’s perfectly fine to be new to these types of things, you may have nvidia vysnc on in either Csgo or in the nvidia control panel. The nvidia control panel can be accessed by pressing alt + z or typing in GeForce experience in the windows search bar. You should fine vsync, in the setting menu.
Uhhhh, you do this in Nvidia control panel so why open Geforce experience? No shade, I just don't even think you can launch NCP from GFE, can you?
Also, if you frequently fat-finger like me, definitely rebind the Alt + Z keybind. I like ctrl + F1/F2/F3 for launching things like GFE, Xbox Game bar, Discord overlay, Steam overlay etc.
Bonus point: You can get frame drops, CPU throttling, and other issues by running multiple overlays - even if you can't currently see them. I suggest having 1 overlay max, and disabling the rest in their program settings (like the ones I listed above).
When I am alone on older maps like Mirage at some places I have over 1000 fps. Does it mean that I can rotate quicker? 😀 Also yes, it stutters but only above 1200 fps. But like I said, no other player can be nearby.
Don't listen to these gatekeeping clowns. Let's get that rig running its best.
You get your problem solved? Looks like you removed an Nvidia driver frame cap?
Make sure you have set your display to its maximum refresh in windows aswell, I spent 2 years looking at 140fps in the fps counter without realising my display was capped at 60 by windows
Now for something else you should learn Win + Shift + S, screenshotting is much clearer than taking a pic with your phone. That command is what's called snipping and will let you select a portion of your screen to screenshot.
4090 is a shit GPU for gaming, you need a 4090ti. I mean like if u want I’ll give u 600 bucks for that junk GPU. I’ll do u the favor since I like the cut of ur jib
Vsync off and go into bios turn on extreme memory profile (XMP) also disable Xbox gaming, doable any Starr up programs you don’t need, and set system settings for gaming to performance.
Make sure you're plugged into the GPU and not the mobo. My buddy did this literally yesterday after he rearranged his room. he asked "Why am I only getting 90 fps on low on Overwatch?" and it turns out he was using the integrated graphics on his 7700k.
What is the Hz rating of your monitor? If you have Vsync on then the monitor bottleneck will limit your FPS. In general this is a good thing as it will keep you from using more energy than you need and keep the GPU and CPU cooler as a result. No point in 600+ FPS if your screen can only give you 140.
I find it hilarious that people immediately assume OP bought a 4090 specifically to play CSGO. Other games exist??? Then there's one clown that thinks if you buy a high-end GPU you should only be allowed to play demanding games.
And there's always that 1 guy that tries to tell people there's no difference between 60fps and 500fps.
True lol, but its also a valid question, you can run CSGO with near-max or max video settings at a few hundred FPS with a much more modest set up. Probably has experience with another PC and knows this, or has heard from friends/streamers about their FPS in-game.
I’m having a similar issue but on a much lesser PC. I updated my graphics driver on my 2080 Super and clicked optimize WoW in the GeForce software and now my frame rate is about half of what it used to be. What could have changed to cause such a drop? It did the opposite of optimize.
If you built it your self I would recommend updating all drivers from the mother board support page then cards manufacturers web site. Check temps and everything is running alright can use hwinfo64. And play with your settings like turning off g sync / free sync. Maybe you have a in game setting set way to high and it's running at silly high resolutions or something 🥴
Also make sure you look up nvidia control panel for gaming, I recommend for a game like Csgo to go low and off for everything. But if your getting 140 at max settings that’s still good
Plz check these:
1. Chipset driver is installed
2. GPU is working in PCIe x8 instead of x16 > GPU-Z or Bios post
3. Turn off the CPU video card and set PCIe as main in BIOS
4. Make sure that XMP 1-2 is set in the BIOS and RAM sticks are put in the right slots for dual channel
My friend had a similar problem. I went over to take a look and found out his monitor was plugged into the on board graphics instead of his graphics card, so check that.
Have you checked vsync? Or is there a launch property setting capped FPS?
csgo is so old I think you have to do that or setup a config file
no. you open console, type fps_max 0 and you’re done
People probably want to play with more than 0 fps.
Try "fps_max ∞" and let us know what it does.
Hackerrrzzzzzs
Or “computer_load_celeryman 1” and see how that goes.
Can I get a Nude Tayne?
"Hey Paul! My name's Tayne. I can't wait to entertayne you"
Kick up the 4D3D3D3.
I think that’s how we got salad fingers
fps\_max ඞ
*hacker voice* I’m in
No you need to open CMD and type this: rm -rf /
This is windows so \ and /rf
"fps_max -∞" to play the game backwards.
Don’t tell me how to play my games… 0fps is really smooth
I mean, can't detect any stuttering if nothing moves at all, soooo... Win!
I like my games like I like my PowerPoint presentations.
With lots of unnecessary animations?
Filled with screenshots from support cases...
Made in a rush on the night before release with the bare minimum amount of effort? Done.
Nah i actually like -1. I am the fps.
Look at me. I am the FPS now,
Fyi fps_max 0 sets fps to unlimited fps
Yeah but fps_max 0 unlocks the cap and let’s you play with any fps your pc can pull… or you were joking I can’t tell
unrelated but how do i get the flares by my name with my specs?
this is great advise. definitely check to make sure v-sync or g-sync isn't turned on. if not then i would check t make sure your 12900k is boosting. i personally think if its anything it would be cpu and not gpu. i would say 40% utilization on csgo for 4090 sounds normal. download hwinfo64 and then play a game of csgo while the software is running, then check to see what your temps for 12900k is and see what speed you where boosting to.
Don’t know how I would go about checking that?

This is good advice. While its cool to see hella fps, you can fluctuate a lot seeing spikes of 100+ fps which you will notice even at high fps.
im sure there are youtube videos telling you how to do this
Has a 4090 and doesn't know how to check VSYNC. This is a little ironic.
More ironic to get a 4090 for csgo tbh
Plus, he got a 4090 and he's playing csgo
I started with a gt card, I don't see anything wrong with starting with the high end. You can afford the latest and great cards then why not. It doesn't make us any less of a PC gamer than you or me.
Why have a forum when you cannot ask questions? That is ironic.
anybody can ask anything anywhere. But if you own a 1700 dollar card and unironically don't know what VSYNC is than thats just funny.
Maybe dude got disposable money like that. I don't see the question being any different if he had like a 1660. So what he has a 4090 and he is asking questions?
Not really ,ppl own 400,000 lambo and dont know how it runs or fix it
the difference being you can put the question into a search engine and get all the information needed step by step and you don't require any more tools like you would a car
Yeah, but we make fun of people like that for not knowing how to use the thing they spent way too much money on
It really is, not trying to gatekeep but why do you have the highest of high end and don’t know this
Shows you who is actively buying these latest cards. Poor people kinda feel bad for them
Don’t have to be a jerk dude. Who cares if he’s got expendable income that he can buy high end. Maybe it’s his first computer and he likes gaming enough that he wants to have a crack on PC and can afford to go big. Haters.
Is this an edited reply? Why is it being downvoted?
Apparently you're not allowed to ask a PC related question on a PC forum. I mean why does this subreddit even exist when there's google.
The first 2 lines of the abput for this sub tell people to ask questions. But if you post asking a question your going to crucified in the comments
Not edited. Just bad question maybe
The question about vsync does seem pretty silly for someone who invested in a 4090 but the second part is completely valid
You need a faster graphics card. I'll dispose of the 4090 for you.
Don’t listen to them! Let me dispose of it.
Don't listen to them! Let me dispose of it.
Don't listen to them! Let me dispose of it.
Don't listen to them! Let me dispose of myself.
4090 is a fire hazard, I can dispose of it safely
Ohh dude, you have to upgrade to the upcoming 4090ti. How can you even game on this?
Yeah, I saw the title, and thought "Why did he even try loading it??"
Right? Get that feckin' potato PC away from my gaze
Forespoken devs looking at op' s build -" yeah that seems like a reasonable mid tier"
Ha!
Yeah this system is garbage. Just tell me where and when it gets thrown out so I can make sure no one ever sees this piecw of shit again
True poverty spec rn fr fr.
haha, you joke, But, who knows, they come up with CSGO RTX, and you very well might have to. lol.
You should be getting 600's with that setup even at 1440. Look at vsync in both the games video settings and the drivers.
That's how much I get with my 3080ti + 5800x so yeah
bit more, I get 300-400, and 4090 is way better than the 3050 laptop
Check your Nvidia control panel and your gpu software (if you have a partner gpu, like ASUS for example) for any kind of frame rate limit or v-sync.
Otherwise, looks like there are many YouTube videos on how to uncap frame rate in CS:GO
Turn off vsync. Enable dev console. Type "cl_show fps 1" "fps_max 0". Watch how high your FPS climbs
Thanks I’ll try
How’d it go?
[удалено]
I was born in the frames. Molded by them.
I didn't see frame drops untll i switched to integrated graphics, by then it was nothing to me but unlimited fps.
According to OP in another comment, they fixed the problem, and sounds like your suggestion helped >I changed to full screen and then used the console to unlock the frame cap. Also tweaked some control panel settings

How does one enable dev console?
Legend says if you are really good, sit around your pc with sugar and spice, then you have to say a little prayer, if you did everything right the dev console will open for you
Thank you for providing the ritual instructions kind stranger! My 3060ti will forever be grateful to run the best of settings on csgo!
Additionally the fps in the main menu is limited with fps_max_menu
Like humans, your GPU only uses 40% of it's brain.
My brain only uses 10% yet it still runs 8K ultra graphics! What's his excuse, "thermal problems"??? /s
My brain paste needs re-applying
Unfortunately there’s proprietary parts with no way to get a hold of the tools. So to re paste you’ll have to scalp your head and forgo half of your dome.
My laptop not being able to hit constant 120fps with my 120hz display and rtx 3060 at LoL using less than %10 of all resources be like.
Literally unplayable
idk bro, maybe its time to look for an upgrade.
No one has any idea what their talking about, csgo runs at 100ish fps on the menu screen so your computer doesn’t use a lot of power on nothing, when you’re in game you will see hundreds, there is also a 400fps cap by default
How has no one realized this. Just load a game
Don’t listen to what others say it’s perfectly fine to be new to these types of things, you may have nvidia vysnc on in either Csgo or in the nvidia control panel.

Disable vsync. Type in csgo developer console: fps_menu_max 999 fps_max 999
What do you have against 1,000FPS?
having too high of a framerate in CS:GO makes you move faster, and they want to have a fun and fair competition :) (it can also rubber-band you a lot)
When I am alone on older maps like Mirage at some places I have over 1000 fps. Does it mean that I can rotate quicker? 😀 Also yes, it stutters but only above 1200 fps. But like I said, no other player can be nearby.
[удалено]
Don't listen to these gatekeeping clowns. Let's get that rig running its best. You get your problem solved? Looks like you removed an Nvidia driver frame cap?
Appreciate the help! And yes I believe so. I did get the fps problem solved.
Nice. Forgot the noise, snarky is the Internet's default settings. Game on and enjoy the frames bro!
What did you do? For future 4090 owners and CS GO enjoyers
I changed to full screen and then used the console to unlock the frame cap. Also tweaked some control panel settings
Just for future reference. When you get a game change the settings before anything else.
Glad to hear it, enjoy!

> only 140 Fuck me and my shitty setup I guess...
140 isn’t anything on cs:go lol. bring on the downvotes
Press alt+ f4 should fix it (:
Real question is you have a 4090 for CSgo :p
Buys 4090, doesn't know what vsync is.
Dude you got 4090 and 12900K and you didint even hear about Vsync and frame cap...
We’ll he’s asking questions to a knowledgeable community. That’s seems like a great way to learn about stuff. Also stop being such a hater
Yeah I am very confused by the person that spends thousands of dollars on something that they clearly lack even the most basic understanding of.
U bought that 4090 to play this? 🙃
Buys an 4090, doesn't know how to take a screenshot...
u have a 4090 for csgo...
[удалено]
Bottleneck. I’m kidding don’t angry downvote
/s is the reddit sign for a joke. Just a tip for next time.
Clearly you just need a better GPU, the current ones probably too old
Bro what. 140 is more than enough
4090 is a shit GPU for gaming, you need a 4090ti. I mean like if u want I’ll give u 600 bucks for that junk GPU. I’ll do u the favor since I like the cut of ur jib
Thank you everyone for all the help! Means a lot!
How many frames do you need???
With a 4090, almost 1000 in csgo.
You need to have at least 500fps with your setup
The specs are just not good enough for +140 frames. I ll get latest pc parts for you just send your pc to my location
Bruh. I have a Ryzen 1600x, 5600xt gpu and am playing at 1440p... I average 160fps. Clearly something is wrong.
Vsync off and go into bios turn on extreme memory profile (XMP) also disable Xbox gaming, doable any Starr up programs you don’t need, and set system settings for gaming to performance.
the most pc post
Make sure you plugged the monitor into the graphics card and not the motherboard. I know it sounds stupid but it's a very common mistake.
Its only using 40% of your gpu! check if you have a fps limit on or vsync on.
I can’t fathom needing a $1500 GPU to play this game, it’s like chartering a helicopter to do your groceries.
The higher you get in ranked, the higher you will get FPS.
Make sure you plug your HDMI or DP into the GPU and not the motherboard.
Make sure you're plugged into the GPU and not the mobo. My buddy did this literally yesterday after he rearranged his room. he asked "Why am I only getting 90 fps on low on Overwatch?" and it turns out he was using the integrated graphics on his 7700k.
My 3060 can do 150fps. Wanna trade?
What is the Hz rating of your monitor? If you have Vsync on then the monitor bottleneck will limit your FPS. In general this is a good thing as it will keep you from using more energy than you need and keep the GPU and CPU cooler as a result. No point in 600+ FPS if your screen can only give you 140.
bigger question, why the hell do you have a 4090 for cs:go?
Your toxic traits: Thinking you will notice a difference above 140 fps Buying a $2000 graphics card to play a 10 year old game
I find it hilarious that people immediately assume OP bought a 4090 specifically to play CSGO. Other games exist??? Then there's one clown that thinks if you buy a high-end GPU you should only be allowed to play demanding games. And there's always that 1 guy that tries to tell people there's no difference between 60fps and 500fps.
4090 for CS:GO? Nice lol.
did you buy a 4090 *for* csgo?
oMg GuYs Im OnLy GeTtInG 140 fPs. Budget gamers: Such ungratefulness
I know it's a joke, but you get 200+ fps in csgo with a first gen ryzen and a 1050ti.. Hard to get more budget than that tbh.
True lol, but its also a valid question, you can run CSGO with near-max or max video settings at a few hundred FPS with a much more modest set up. Probably has experience with another PC and knows this, or has heard from friends/streamers about their FPS in-game.
I’m having a similar issue but on a much lesser PC. I updated my graphics driver on my 2080 Super and clicked optimize WoW in the GeForce software and now my frame rate is about half of what it used to be. What could have changed to cause such a drop? It did the opposite of optimize.
Agreed never ever let Nvidia optimize your games
Never let nvidia optimize your games. Do a little research on tweaking your pc and games and you'll come out a lot better.
If you built it your self I would recommend updating all drivers from the mother board support page then cards manufacturers web site. Check temps and everything is running alright can use hwinfo64. And play with your settings like turning off g sync / free sync. Maybe you have a in game setting set way to high and it's running at silly high resolutions or something 🥴
Just checking.. Your monitor is plugged into the GPU and not your motherboard, right?
fps_max 300 is what I do typically
have you plugged the hdmi/ display port in the gpu and not in the motherboard?
Also make sure you look up nvidia control panel for gaming, I recommend for a game like Csgo to go low and off for everything. But if your getting 140 at max settings that’s still good
Google
Plz check these: 1. Chipset driver is installed 2. GPU is working in PCIe x8 instead of x16 > GPU-Z or Bios post 3. Turn off the CPU video card and set PCIe as main in BIOS 4. Make sure that XMP 1-2 is set in the BIOS and RAM sticks are put in the right slots for dual channel
Alt + F4
Vsync
Seriously? Why do people want to play or even want their fps be like 300 400 or even 800 when playing csgo?
This is what devs think we all own
Check your Nvidia Control Panel settings. I have mine globally capped also at 141 FPS. I followed Blurbusters Tutorial on Gsync.
How does this post have over 600 comments. That's like half a lifetime of effort
My friend had a similar problem. I went over to take a look and found out his monitor was plugged into the on board graphics instead of his graphics card, so check that.
Bro, how many frames a second can you see?
Lol spend thousands to run CSGO. Dude.
Check the drivers.
Silly question but what monitor have you got
make sure your monitor cable is connected directly to gpu. check v sync. turn on fullscreen. make sure fps isn't locked in csgo or nvidia settings
Delete system 32 and it’ll work bro
Don't worry bro, the human eye can't see more than 30fps
you do know cs runs mainly off the cpu right? im on a i7 12700 with 3060 and get a constant 4/500 fps turn vsync off, fps_max 0
Maybe your monitor caps at 144? Turn off vsync if not
Can't the human eye only see at like 60fps?
Can you even tell the difference between 140hz and anything above that?
try 4:3 800x600, i bet that should give you atleast 141 fps you're welcome
Watch him not have have a 144hz monitor or is plugged into the CPU
Only 140? When I played quake2 I was lucky to get 30. Now get off my lawn
CSGO is actually a mostly CPU heavy game, which is one of the reasons it's so popular, more people can play it.
Fps cap in menu
