lag

Although this doesn't happen too often, (it's rather hard to demonstrate something that doesn't happen often) Windows 11 keeps freezing for a few seconds or lagging and when it does so the sound goes loud. The best way to describe this situation would be to imagine if there was a sound that...

Hi, for the last few days my games have been shutting down on their own - it started with apex. About every 15 minutes it shuts down. I tried downloading COD warzone to see if it happens too and again it crashes. Apex throws : Engine Error 0X887A0006 - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG COD warzone ...

Hello guys, So I'm facing an issue with my PC , let me give you some context first. My pc was working just fine , no complains at all , then I went on a 2 weeks vacation and when I came back and entered cs2 , my PC started lagging from time to time. It feels like it happens most of the times...

I was playing an fps game and my game started lagging. I'm playing on the first pc I built and I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the internet or my pc. Are these normal numbers/good for gaming? View: https://imgur.com/a/rk9AECO

Bought a new laptop and had icons lagging alt tab lagging and etc. At first i thought it was because windows was probably updating or something but its been around a month now and it's still lagging. If the info helps, the computer usually goes for around 10 minutes before beginning to lag and...

I recently had this problem while playing games, the game was running smoothly but suddenly there is an FPS drop for about three seconds then it goes back to normal, then after a minute or two the problem comes back again. I tried to do a benchmark to see if there was a problem with the PC but...

I have an MSI NVIDIA RTX 4070 it runs all games really well except for one. I get frame rate loss and stuttering in Hunt showdown, I've had this issue for months. I have reinstalled the drivers for the gpu and even lowered my graphics. I should not be hitting 70- 80 fps on hunt with a 4070 rtx...

Good afternoon everyone, I have an issue with my PC. I run all my games at 70+ FPS, but for some reason, the gameplay feels like 30. I'll share the specs, feel free to suggest anything and everything. This has been a thing on my PC's for the last few years. Never managed to fix it. PC Specs...

Hi everyone, so I just upgraded a couple of components in my PC i got a Ryzen 7 5700x3D and 1000w FSP gold PSU and PNY 4070 ti super GPU, since i installed the new components all of the system is stuttering and lagging and dropping frames, i've been troubleshooting and reached the conclusion...

Just recently my PC started experiencing lags and stutters. I tried playing a game and started experiencing massive frame drops after an hour or so. The CPU and GPU temperatures look good so I'm just wondering what else could be causing it? MotherBoard: Asus TUF Gaming Z690-PLUS WIFI D4 CPU...

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...

So i've recently built a new computer, everything is running fine except sometimes when im playing a game a beep will come through my headphones. Its usually just one beep and the game will stutter and will go back to normal. One time it was multiple beeps over a span of 5 seconds or so and the...

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...

Is it normal for a 3 year old "top model" laptop to struggle with online video streaming + browsing Reddit? I had a desktop for a while and when it was upgrade time (desktop from 8 years ago, ran pretty well but wanted to sell it while it was still sell-able) I decided to just sell it and use...

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...
