lag

I recently got a 1440p 480hz monitor and I realized that some of my games are not running smooth despite high fps counters. I opened up MSI afterburner with the frametime graph and saw a cyclic stutter that would occur 2-3 times per second. The weird part was that the stutter only existed for...

When I play gpu heavy games, everything runs smoothly around 90 fps but sometimes I get massive fps drops (90 average to 15 average), when that happens, the bottom left corner of the screen says I have very high gpu latency (100+) and this lasts for about 10 long seconds. I have tried about...

Hello, I got a RTX 3070 a couple months ago and I have been having problems running games that I was just running with my GTX 1070. In task manager it is always running at 95 to 100% and frames will drop from around 100 to 30 fps for a few moments. Also ive tried to use shadowplay and it made...

Hey all, I've been having issues with my systems being slow for the past 16 months or so. I say systemS because I started with an Alienware Area 51 R5 from 2018, and I've since (in the past 12 months) replaced every component save for the PSU which I doubt is causing system lag, but maybe? The...

So i have this pretty old AOC 20E1H monitor, it was the cheapest on the market and within my budget so I saw it supports overclock and I changed from 60 to 75 (even if that matters because I still have the same issue at 60). So before I state my issue i wanna know what the best optimal settings...

Hello everyone, I am kinda new to all the tech stuff, but I did notice my PC is running slower then it was supposed to. All the games I’ve played so far feel choppy and stutter. I used fraps to check the FPS, it’s over 100, but it feels like 30. Older games, like Hitman Absolution for example...

Hello guys, I have been experiencing some issues starting a couple months ago where randomly while gaming i’d get fps drops and input lag that lasted like 0.5 seconds or 1 second at max and it was random. Now it’s moved on to serious input lag in my built in keyboard, especially when playing...

Pretty sure my system is underperforming (based on the specs and comparison to other people with similar specs). I built it myself (first time) and I'm not sure if I've done everything correctly. Pulling like 30 fps on Overwatch and Valorant at Low Settings. Also, weird issue where my mouse...

Hey I need an advice how to improve my gaming performance. I was for the longest time playing on 1080p/60hz monitor meaning I capped my fps with vertical sync (60fps) and I could play smoothly any game on ultra setting 1080p. However I recently bought 175hz FHD HDR Monitor with Adaptive Sync...

Hello, I've just ordered the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro and arrived about an hour ago. But for some reason sometimes the keys just get delayed and get written at once at the same time despite me having pressed them already. First I thought maybe the CPU is busy as it happens on lower end systems but...

Hello! For two weeks or so I've been having this strange new stutter appear. I have tried a few things, cleaning, reseating the graphics card and power cables, reinstalling drivers multiple times and I've made sure that all drivers for the computer is fully up to date, so I am at a loss where...

Might be a dumb question/thread. Just wonder if I should ask. I have Norton 360 for gamers. I can't make any changes. The only thing I did was looked up "user account control settings" in the search bar. I opened the app & moved the bar to the third slot. It gave me the option to "allow an app...

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCfirgVoOrc When I tried playing FIFA 19, initially the fps was stable, but after 6 minutes, the fps dropped to 5–10 fps, and the fps did not return to the initial level again. The way to get normal fps is to press the "fn+q" keys, but after 6 minutes, the...

Ever since I built my pc in 2021, it has always underperformed when it comes to gaming. I started with some lower end parts and built up to what I have now which is much better and I continue to experience major lag and stutters in games. I have tried everything I could think of such as...
