How do I push my GPU to its full potential?

[H3iman 14]

I've got a Geforce GTX 680 GPU, and am noticing some serious FPS drops. In CS:GO, I play at a low resolution, with all the settings on low, yet my PC is struggling to reach over 90FPS, when not too long ago it would never dip below 160FPS. I have the latest GPU drivers, I even installed Razer Game Booster, a program that is meant to help pause unnecessary tasks my PC does while I'm gaming in an attempt to get better performance. However, even that didn't work, I saw no improvement in performance with that running.

 

Anybody have some ideas?

Ignore this thread, I updated Windows and cleaned out my registry and that fixed the problem completely.

What exactly did you do to clean our your registry?  I use CCleaner for most stuff like that (cleaning up my PC).  Any tips for me?  I have noticed that mine isn't quite what it was.  I'm sure my PC is just full of junk that could be cleaned out.

How to clear out your pc:

Control panel --> uninstall unwanted programs.

Run CCleaner --> delete registry entries and junk (browsing history, etc).

Run Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (Google it, on phone)

Run Malwarebytes.

Enjoy your fresh system.

I forgot about Kaspersky... you mentioned that a long time ago.  I used to use it but haven't on this machine.  Thanks.
