Games feels heavy CS GO VALORANT

Hi everyone

Game feels choppy, heavy and laggy. When I move my mouse at 250-300 fps I don't see any stuttering on my screen but when my fps drops around 200 or less it's really noticeable and makes my game really worse. It's hard to spray because of that. It happens in a lot of duels too when there's a lot of stress in game. (CS:GO, Valorant)

i510400f
rx580 4gb
16gbram
win11
ssd
b460m mortar wifi
750w psu

Anyone?
 
Cap your fps at or just under monitor refresh rate, and/or reduce refresh rate to a lower value. Running this high FPS is not beneficial in any way. Server tickrates are way lower anyway.

For a stable experience you are helped most by stable FPS. Higher isnt better at all.
 
i know what you mean. i had this weird "problem" a bunch of times.
like birdie said. i'd just reinstall windows from scratch (it fixes everything except hardware/bios problems) and that 's faster than troubleshooting every single possible driver, OS corruption, game problems etc.
 
try syncing with your refresh rate monitor
 
Lower settings if you haven’t.
 
Try setting your monitor to 120fps and capping your gpu to 120 and try that with and without vsync
and try same at 60Hz (fps) again as above.

Letting the gpu push as much as possible makes it work and it can get hot, and possibly could thermal throttle.

Could also try
-uninstalling driver
-run amd clean up utility
-install latest wqhl driver
 
Try game mode. I bet you have a circus running in the background.
 
Are you using overwolf, what's your mouse polling rate, do you have v-sync on or off, did you clear your cache, have you tried reinstalling the game, etc?
Your config is good enough for both CSGO and Valorant, do not cap your frame rate at 60 FPS, it won't fix your problem.

I did all of them before dude like i said after 250 fps game fine i have 144 hz also.Thanks for answerin

No overwolf, 500 hz i even tried 125 hz couple times still same, vsync off, yep i cleared everything, i reinstall game windows so many times. I m playin uncap

I did tht before but i ll try again
 
Don't play uncapped. Limit your FPS to 3 below your max monitor refresh rate in NV control panel.

You exceed 144 fps you get hit with VSYNC which causes lag and sluggish feel. Cap it to 141 fps. Alternatively turn on FAST SYNC for CS GO in NV control panel. Oh, you're on Radeon, well find something similar to this in Adrenalin, probably "MAX FPS", keep it at 141.

This issue only crops up when your CPU is powerful enough to max your GPU out fully.
A 104000F with an old RX580 fits that bill perfectly

You can have better latency at capped 57FPS than an uncapped 100FPS

(It's kind of important that you state your monitor, resolution and refresh rate - i cant believe you didn't do that and no ones asked for you to do that)

Input latency.
Stop running games at stupid FPS rates, as it wont help - i've covered this in many threads but theres some great youtube content on it available.
Battle(non)sense has fantastic videos, his early ones rely on a 1000FPS camera and measure latency from click to on-screen response so they're 'high' values vs other test methods.



Heres the perfect screenshot from one of the best videos on this topic:

60FPS on a 60Hz display with Vsync on? 100ms. Utter trash.
60FPS with an FPS cap? 44ms.

No FPS cap, no Vsync? better right? nope - 60ms.

Heck, Nvidias reflex low latency pretty much reserves 1% of the GPU to prevent this occuring. That's all it does, and it works.






This affects Nvidia and AMD, and it's all to do with one of two issues:
1. Hitting your Vsync FPS limit
2. Running unlimited FPS and having your GPU max out at 100% usage

How do i fix it?
Cap your FPS at least 2 FPS below your refresh rate, preferably 3.
Fast Vsync/Enhanced sync can remove tearing from Vsync off, but increase input latency *slightly* (1-2ms) if you're not achieving double your refresh rate.
The only fix is a frame rate limiter. Use an in-game one if possible, then a driver level one or RTSS depending on your preferences.

With an RX580, I'd be aiming at the lower end of the scale depending on the game engine - not whatever your max FPS is, but what it dips down to when things are hectic. That's when it needs breathing room.

It making worse when i do that screen tearing all over the place

Is that normal?

Sadly CSGO doesn't work like that, and once again with his config he should be able to have a stable framerate around 250 FPS. I can with a 4770K and a 1650 Super.
CSGO is CPU heavy and the more FPS you have, the smoother the game gets, it's super stupid, even past 300 FPS, that's why most peopledon't limit their FPS.

Also, playing CSGO at say 160 FPS feels horrendous and would give you a headache in 10 seconds. His problem doesn't come from his game or hardware, their is something else. As I said, I don't have any problem with a way worse CPU than his, and CSGO uses the CPU way more than the GPU.

You right dude something wrong with the GPU or drivers but i cant find

Are those numbers too high?

What steps did you actually follow?
I need you to list what your settings are, theres too many for me to ask for
Resolution and refresh rate
Frame rates, Vsync/Gsync etc (in game and in driver control panel)
If you have RTSS installed and changed anything
Those latency values are fine, by the way.

I tried all of them before dude, i played with fps cap 141 143 when vsync on or 144 145 150 vsync off i tried RTSS too.
Thanks for the latency value
 
I created a topic for another site and one guy said something about realtek ethernet driver i guess he s right after i uninstall and disabled realtek my game feels better if its not placebo. Right now i m playin with wi-fi

Well, guess we found the problem. :laugh:

Got any smart TV's or networked google devices? This could be similar to the issue i have in my sig - you can read that for the software i used to find out what on my network was causing the issues

Having my network 'public' instead of 'private' in windows firewalled off the TV from the PC, hiding the issue on wifi/secondary connections
