yup, all my drivers and BIOS are up to date. my GPU is stock/air cooled by a blower style cooler. the idle temp is also around 40-ish.
the GPU doesnt seem to be stressed at all playing CSGO. the fans dont spin any faster. if im not mistaken, CSGO is still using the source engine which made its debut almost 10 years ago. any source game shouldnt be a benchmark by any means nowadays.
i've tried running the game both factory clocked and overclocked with the aforementioned 150%+ on the core clock speed and 600%+ on the memory speed using EVGA's precision tool. the overclocked settings seem to work well at first, but eventually it lags again eventually.
im just glad and appreciate the fact that someones willing to sit down and help me fix this stupid problem :)
