Extreme FPS Drops only in CS GO

counter-strike-global-offensivetechnical-issues

my pc runs great with all games. I can easily run Fallout 4 on ultra, while playing cs on ultra or low I get maxxed FPS. However, I noticed in the beginning of the rounds, I tend to have 20-30 fps. Then back to 400 FPS. How is that even possible?

Are there any ways I can solve this issue? (I get 60 FPS constant on fallout 4, as it's locked to 60 FPS)

It goes from 400 FPS to 30 FPS, this happens around 5-6 times in a round. for periods of 2-3 seconds.

Issues of PC: PSU runs hot as I have placed the fan upside down. Other than that everything else stays cool.

Setup: AMD 8350, 280x, 8gb ram. Not too good of a pc, but 100% enough for cs go.

There are very many reasons this could be happening. One of which is definitely your sound card drivers.

Try to notice if you get the lag when a specific sound is played or when a new sound appears again in the game. For example, I get lag spikes myself when I start the game at first. Then when some time passes and I haven't heard, say, smoke grenade sound, when I hear it I get lag spikes.

This is very annoying and the reason is probably my sound card as I have installed and uninstalled sound and graphics card drivers, neither of which have helped.

  • Try to mess with your audio and graphics drivers.

  • Lower your Hz from 'Sound' properties to CD, not DVD or Studio.

Also, try to be more specific with your problem. When exactly does this happen? How often?
