CS Go not smooth and stuttering

tipsy · 19 May 2019 at 20:20

I'm having issues with csgo, the game is not even smooth on a 144hz monitor with low setting in game. I get small micro stutters when moving & so far no matter what I do in the drivers or messing with other in game stuff will fix it.

my system

I5 7600K
GTX 1070
16GB ram
MSI z270 sli plus
samsung evo 850 250 gb ssd
samsung Evo 860 1tb ssd
Iiyama GB2760 144hz monitor

Any help would be appreciated

Do you have gsync? If so, are you running it borderless windowed mode? If so, change to full screen and test that.

Furthermore, have you checked to make sure it's not network by hosting your own private game? Sounds daft, but you never know.

turn on vsync or fastsync in the nvidia control panel

That game runs on a toaster, so knock all the settings up to maximum and see if that helps.

Had it up to max settings, sync is set to adaptive but not tried fast yet. The fps sits at 300fps and I know its the game reporting that not the monitor. I will try it on fast and see how I go.

what do you mean by smooth?

i get around 300 fps too and it could be you have some stupid settings on your monitor like overdrive. this will cause issues with the increased voltage causing artifacts.

Messed with it a bit more last night, css is fine so is 1.6. Monitor has overdrive off. 300fps still in csgo so puzzled.

update your audio drivers. This happens to me when i turn the volume up or down in game

tipsy · 21 May 2019 at 02:13

Not possible as it is a plantronics usb headset and the drivers only go up to windows 8.1

Try different GPU drivers, they can make a difference, the latest ones arent always the best for older games.
Also disable vsync, may look smoother but it creates a tiny amount of delay.

If the above doesn't work then play about with the fps, try locking it at a lower number and see if there is any difference.

Will try it all again with an older driver and avmix of the suggestions

d0ct0r46 · 21 May 2019 at 19:59

also try locking fps to 299 (less than 300)

I've had this problem in the past on different builds, a weird stutter or lag when certain things happen (normally when a awp is fired). Nothing solved trhe issue other than a reinstall of the game, and in one scenario a different hard drive.

Wilko_Dog · 21 May 2019 at 23:48

Try re-install i had this problem , also Have you got mouse raw input on ?

Psycho Sonny · 23 May 2019 at 13:16

i had an issue in which it would lag out for like 3-4 seconds randomly every so often. something which if it happens at the wrong time would cost you the game time and time again. only a motherboard swap managed to sort it for me.

the only game i had issues with was csgo.

Well after thinking it was the os, memory, gpu & the cpu it turned out to be the mouse drivers of all things. I have hung onto my trusty logitech mx510 since 2004 & used the their drivers all the way through, by chance I got sick and tried a rubbish mouse and discovered it was that all along. So my theory is that there was a conflict with the poling rate of the mouse causing micro stutters. So since trying el cheapo mouse all has been great, what I cant understand is that it does not do it in any other game only csgo. So thanks for all the suggestions offered but its now fixed & I never knew how good a cheap mouse could be

I-rocks m09 to match my I-rocks K10 keyboard that I got years ago.

Well done on finding the culprit, been down that road many times.

ED209 · 10 Apr 2020 at 20:16

Why reply to a post that’s nearly a year old and states it was fixed with a driver update for the mouse?

i had something like this once and it was my windows audio settings, I had to turn the setting down to CD quality

I've had a similar issue before, wasn't with csgo but similar fps online game. It ended up being one of the chips on the motherboard that was overheating. I ended up sticking a fan on it which helped temporarily but ended up replacing the motherboard eventually.
