CSGO low fps GTX970 after 2023 update and fix

Hello, after the update I noticed that I can’t play CSGO, the fps dropped from 180 to 80. I’m trying to find what was wrong, I just installed fresh steam and csgo - it didn’t help. then a new manjaro - did not help. whenever i find that my nvidia card fan doesn’t spin automatically if you start the game and if i want to play the game and have 180 fps i have to open the nvdia program and turn it on and manually set the fan speed to 70%. then start cs go and play like old times,

can it be fixed?

Hello @zirafin and welcome to the manjaro forum! :slightly_smiling_face:

… possibly yes. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

First we need more information about your system. Could you provide the output of these commands:

inxi -Fxzc0
mhwd -li
mhwd -l

Also take a look in these posts, to get better help further :wink::

Hm, looks for melike it should.

could you also post the output from this:

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf

If there is NO output please the output from this:

ls -la /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d

And please use the “formated text”-button ( </> ) for your command output, so it looks more clear. :slightly_smiling_face:
