CS: GO - Linux Mint 18 low FPS/ no internet lagg

[Oem131]

Dear all,
There are so many topics around the net for CS:GO and the low FPS, and yet i have not found any solution to help me:

So what is going on ... When i am playing CS:GO in Windows i have 160 Frames per second, however after i changed to Linux Mint 18 my FPS has dropped to 20 - 30 making the game unplayable ( i am used to play only 2 games CS:GO, League of legends - please do not judge). Please, help me if any one have suggestion what i can do more ...

So far i have updated my video driver to Nvidia 367,27, i have updated my Intel chip set, i have installed the latest updates, i have installed the update manager on (Recommended for most users) - to the point i am extremely new to linux

What i think might be the problem: I think, the problem comes from the Vsync of Nvidia- I have turned off the Vsynx of CS:GO menu (however strangely, i cannot turn it off from the NVIDIA X Server panel, even if i am root..)

As far as i know Vsync limits the video card to the FPS of the monitor ..

Hello, I noticed You appear to be playing on a Dual Core I7. I would say you are trying to run on a laptop from the 4510-u. You Have an NVIDIA 840m.
I will first ask, is your CPU in your system Monitor Maxing Out? Also Counter Strike GO, While Not super Graphics intensive, it is a bit. I would say it is mostly due to Being run on a Laptop. Laptops are Notorious for Getting Hot. Which as such, would explain the FPS drop. The more it heats up, it works harder, to power the fan, and it is working harder to do the same work. I would say if it isn't the driver for the GPU, which is unlikely, as out of hardware vendors, Nvidia has the best discrete drivers for Linux; It is probably the CPU. and maybe a combination of both, generating heat.

I had the same problem and couldnt fint solution. However few days ago I found one. To solve that issue you should enable OPENGL mode in CS GO. Add -gl command in startup settings in CSGO steam. Its gonna work. I tested on 3 computers with Linux Mint, and Ubuntu installed. Before, I had always fps dropped to 30 in the beggining of the game.

Same here the performance on CS:GO with the Cinnamon desktop is the worst experience with other desktops runs ok, I get in KDE Plasma 5 the best experience.

Cinnamon is my favorite desktop but I cannot use it because of the FPS drops on CS:GO does anyone have any idea or a patch on how to resolve this issue?
