PC Drivers & Software

Hello there,
Recently i got stuttering or sudden fps drop for 3-4 seconds in CS:GO. My fps drops from 300 to 40-30 suddenly for 3-4 seconds and i dont know why it happens. I tried to look for solutions and applied them however, nothing changed. I tried to lower all the graphics, changed settings from GPU software to help with performance, tried to verify game files and even tried beta versions of the game in settings; even beta release of steam yet, nothing solved. I have updated windows 11 and GPU driver as well as other hardwares are up to date. I don't get it why do i have this problem. I never experienced this before. Here are my system specs:

Processor - AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor
Video Card - AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT
Operating System -Windows 11
RAM 16 GB

When you installed the drivers, did you allow "AMD User Experience ? If so,  use the drop down and choose 'leave the program'. Then reboot your computer.

i think i allowed that option. did you mean downgrade the driver version by "use the drop down"? 

[lenselman]

I found how to leave what you just mentioned on the settings and did it, restart my pc then but nothing changed. Still have issues

Hi

CS:go is very old game - one of those old ones is able to trick driver and card down to low clock and low fps. You need to - everytime you install driver / update it:

1. Disable ULPS (google how to do or just download MSI afterburner and disable in settings)

2. Make a custom setting in the performance tab - here you must raise min. clock to around 2100 or 2200 mhz or around 200-300 mhz below your max clock. In this way to prevent a game to be able to throttle down to 500 mhz !!!

The above is the only settings I do and have - and ever since I learned this I have had zero problems with this !

 hey. thx for the reply. the option two is about cpu or gpu? and it is applicable on radeon software right?

Hi

yep that is GPU and in arenalin driver sw. You hit performance tab - enter custom button - raise power limit to max (+15) and then raise min clock to some 200 mhz below max. Or you look at cards spec for clock - here they always state clock and boost clock. Just make sure that min. clock is NOT 500 mhz !

i did those settings that you mentioned and it crashed my game xd

UPDATE: I noticed that when i begin to walk in game, it drops 15 fps from 250-300 fps suddenly. when i stay and look around, shoot somewhere or enemies, it won't drop any fps. it begins with me moving in game. i dont understand why it happened.

I SOLVED THE PROBLEM

I installed a software called FluentSearch from Microsoft Store and noticed it was using so much hardware. I killed the process from task manager and it solved my stuttering problem.
