CS:GO only 80-120 fps? (GT750M + i7-4702HQ + 16GB RAM)

Utini · 2016-05-17 17:10:32

Hey there,
I am running CS:GO on my laptop with optimus technology (bumblebee installed + working, thanks to the guys on #archlinux).

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 9530 (16GB RAM, GT-750M, i7-4702HQ)
Game Config: https://dpaste.de/g50z
Launch Options: optirun -b primus %command% -novid - refresh 144 -freq 144 -threads 4 -nojoy -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd -tickrate 128 -autoexec

My FPS are jumping between 70-144 but mostly around 100fps. With my hardware I should easily hit stable 144fps.

Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks !

To make 100++ FPS meaningful, you need a screen that is able to display 100+ FPS (100+Hz refresh rate). Which I don't think that that particular laptop is able to achieve. Whole point of Vsync is to limit max FPS to the refresh rate that your display is able to provide, and by that tearing and stuttering is being avioded. So, you say that laptop's hardware should easily run at 140 FPS, which..is simply not true if your screen is capped at 60Hz.

And another thing to note, with my experience in hobby gamedev, is that framrates above 60 won't do much. That is, unless you application is coded terribly wrong and is using the rendering cycles to compute logic as well. Visually speaking 60+ is golden; the human eye can only see so much. And ~30 frames is definitely playable. I do it all the time. So If you never dip below 80, congrats!

As a general rule of thumb, the more FPS you have, the better off you will be. You might also be able to crank up the graphics settings too.

Happy gaming!

I have a laptop with a built in 120Hz screen, I also have another laptop which has a 144Hz screen connected via displayport.

I am playing competitive in NationsCup, EuroCup, Premier League, etc... 120Hz+fps (and also 144Hz+fps) is golden and important for me.

So back to topic please

------------------

On windows my setup can easily achieve stable 144fps for my 144Hz screen. Max stable fps would be smth around 300-400.
So on Archlinux I expect to have atleast stable 144fps (I won't need 300-400 fps anyway)

I'm having the same issues. Using a 144hz 24" Monitor with an i5-2500 and a GTX 960Ti, I usually get around 100 FPS. And 144hz do make a difference.

Recently I upgraded from an 560Ti without any noticeable FPS boost (in CS). Graphics and launch options didn't really seem to affect it that much (all on low I get about 120 FPS). Back when I used Windows, my GTX 560 Ti usually got 250 FPS upwards.

Any Idea what is the cause?
