I have an i5 4690k, GTX 970, 16gb RAM and I'm only getting between 90 and 150 FPS in CSGO, when with those specs I should NEVER dip below 300. Both my CPU cores and GPU top out at around 60 degrees under load, and I have not overclocked anything. Changing in-game settings does not help
I'm pretty sure my CPU is the bottleneck, as it's 100% or near 100% load on all cores while ingame. I honestly have no idea how to fix this. The issue persists through windows reinstalls and several driver versions. What more can I do? (http://puu.sh/nnRtM.mp3)

Nope. Turns out flash is a super great piece of software that totally rapes my CPU. I almost always have a twitch stream on my 2nd monitor (which for some reason is still flash not html5). With twitch stream I get 90-120 fps, without I get high 300s to high 400s.

why do you watch live streams and complain about performance loss :dumb)

Because I don't expect a video player to rape my CPU so hard. It's ridiculous that a 720p twitch stream takes multiple times more CPU power than playing a full 3-D game. It's just frustrating that Twitch hasn't followed through on their promise for a html5 player.
What's interesting is that if I watch in the inbuilt steam browser instead there is no performance impact that I can see, which is super weird, since it doesn't seem to matter if I use chrome, firefox, IE or edge. Maybe it's just something in my system freaking out over playing video on a 2nd monitor with the main screen occupied in a fullscreen game.
