What should my set-up be running CS:GO at?

Hi there,
I just spent a lot of money on the below. It runs wells, but I was a bit surprised by my low FPS in CS:GO which was averaging around 102 FPS?
I dont think I was running it in 4k or anything, but it would be good to hear peoples thoughts on this? And if there are any guides to know how I should be running games on which settings?

Have you checked what the temps look like while running the game? Clock speeds and usage on both CPU and GPU?

Have you tried any other games? CSGO should be getting 300+ fps with that set up.

Will take a look and jot this down

I dropped down the graphics quality a bit and was getting 260FPS.

Also tried Cyberpunk and was getting 60Fps with everything on max. Will need to double check all of this.

Is my monitor a factor?

102fps... honestly doesn't mean much.... We really need to know about the settings in game etc more than just the fps you're seeing.

Monitor resolution will play a part too, higher resolution 'generally' means lower fps at the same settings
