I just ordered my first 144hz monitor and I'm really excited. However, I'm worried that sometimes while playing CS:GO I don't maintain 144fps. Does anyone have some tips to maximize my fps with my specs? I feel like I should have no problem maintaining 144+fps.

CPU: AMD FX 6350
GPU: AMD R9 280
RAM: 10gb

As for my settings, the only thing that is not on low are my shaders which are on very high (for the skins).

This is the monitor I bought for those interested: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KO4 ... UTF8&psc=1

What is your typical fps?

In a really packed server it can go as low as 90fps, but while playing 5v5 i'm usually above 150fps

thats really strange that you can go that low. i have the same cpu and a radeon HD 7770 and never go that low. I guess just turn all your video options to low and make sure the other options are set up correctly.

I just updated my drivers and jumped in a 10v10. My frames were much better. Hovered around 200fps with drops to around 140. I ran Open Hardware Monitor and it said I was only using about 50% of my GPU and CPU load. Can someone explain this to me? Is there a way to use more of my load to boost my fps?

What are your launch options?

What res do you play on?

If it's quite high, the takeaway for lowering res will result in higher fps and lower clarity. A good trade IMO

I play on 1920x1080, I love the crisp picture. I've tried playing on lower res before and it allowed my monitor to play at 75hz, but I just couldn't stand the graphics.

I also just found out that if I minimize the stuff on my second monitor it boosts my fps to a solid 250fps. So I may just have to keep that in mind from now on haha.

Have you tried adding -lv to your launch options? The death animations suck, but it helps with frame issues a little bit.
