I have the problem mentioned above, that is, that my GPU and CPU are used 100%.

The problem has been around for months and it takes my last nerve I have no idea why.

CPU: Intel I5 / 5490k (or so)

GPU: Nvdia Gtx 960

I was able to fortnite with it

approx

play at 180 fps on full hd though

middle settings

and cs go with over 300-400 fps is also a toaster game

but at the moment I get about 90-100 fps in csgo πŸ˜‚

and ka why

I once had a problem with Windows which is why a colleague of mine reinstalled Windows but it is not activated.

Please help me, I finally want to be able to play normally again like a person

You can look in the task manager where the load is coming from.

tu

How exactly? When I go to Task Manager, I can see which programs are open and how much work they are

Jo

Press on Advanced at the bottom and then look at Performance. You can simply sort the tasks according to their workload.

How have you updated your graphics card drivers over the years? Via the GeForce Experience or manually?

tu

Geforce experience

tu

Yes the greatest utilization is then in that

Case CS: GO with 90% of cpu and gpu

Jo

Then you have to look for the fault there.

tu

Yes how am i supposed to

do best? I have no idea about itπŸ˜₯

Jo

Adjust the settings so that you have the appropriate FPS that you want to achieve. But it can also simply be that his PC is slowly too old.

Pe

Yes it is clear that when CSGO is open it consumes the most that makes no sense

tu

Yes i play yes cs

go from 1296x1080 is standard with bad settings because I can't change anything so that I get higher FPS

and why too old? 1 year ago I still had 300-400 fps and since then nothing great has changed in cs: go?

is it probably the operating system because it is not yet activated? Should I buy a product key or something?

So I could read through the comments that you made driver updates. So try to uninstall your GPU.

Go to the search bar and type in device manager.

Then go to graphics cards and right click your graphics card.

Then press Uninstall device

Then do a tick at Remove driver in and press ok.

Then your resolution will be strange and your PC may restart if not restart after completion.

Then reinstall the driver in Geforce Experience.

Jo

Of course you should activate Windows - but I would rather rule out whether this has something to do with it. I think more that CS had updates that changed the game.

I'm referring to your answer to my question:

I'm assuming that the whole time you've been upgrading your GPU drivers, not replacing them. If you consider how old the GTX960 is now, there are a lot of updates coming together.

Most consumers, by the way, handle it just like you do. "Just update and you're done." And that's WRONG. In this regard, NVIDIA (unfortunately) accommodated the 0815 PC users, who had always complained that updating drivers was too time-consuming or that the PC always had to restart afterwards. NVIDIA has therefore revised the update system and only replaces the "outdated" files, which is basically okay for now. What is not done, however, is the deletion of the registry entries, but a new entry is simply written into them.

Sooner or later, this means that the registry becomes fuller with EVERY update and the GPU performance tends to decrease further. Incidentally, this is not only reflected in the FPS, the loading times also increase significantly.

Talking about enough, we come to the solution to the problem:

Download the "Display-Driver-Uninstaller" (DDU) tool from the Internet and run it. This tool then wants to put Windows into "Safe Mode". How you can achieve this is explained to you in great detail on the Internet. Important here, you should really specify EVERYTHING from NVIDIA to uninstall, so you can clean up your registry really nicely. After the tool has run through, the following phenomena can occur:

Image format changes (e.g. To 4: 3)
Screen resolution decreased

This is completely normal since you are missing the drivers. You should therefore also download the latest drivers manually from the NVIDIA website before running the DDU tool.

I can't guarantee it, but at least the other one here in the forum and me helped with my GTX1070.
If that fixes your problem, be glad that it was still relatively easy to fix. I also recommend doing this cleaning process REGULARLY if you are motivated enough, even every time a new driver is out. Incidentally, that's the only job the GeForce Experience has for me, by notifying me of new drivers.

I wish you every success troubleshooting and hope that I was able to help you.

I'll give it a try, and thank everyone who tries to help me

Gladly, that's what we're here for. Experience has shown that the fun will cost you 20-30 minutes, good luck with it.

Can you already achieve something?
