75+ Fps but feels like lag

[Lester23]

Hello community !

I have over 75 fps in games (@100-150fps) everything went great, worked like a charm. Two days ago happened to feel the lag, even my fps counter shows above 75, it feels like 30-45 fps it's horrible... I never changed the settings during this time, nor the games were updated. (Battlefield 4 for example)

Specs:
i5 4460 (not overclocked)
RX 460 (Not overclocked)
Temps are ok, no throttling. Indeed, I have a 2006 monitor (1280x1024) but I never had problems with it, could be this the culprit ?

take what i say with a very large pinch of salt.

generally, high fps and perceived game lag is caused by:
1. net connection - slow packet receiving/loss means computer left waiting and redrawing same old scene.
2. cpu not getting enough info - cpu drives the game forward, whilst it waits, the gpu redraws old scene.
3. driver issue - corrupt driver means errors require a re-calc which takes time, resulting in gpu redrawing old scene.
4. harddrive in use - hard drive is being used for something other than the game, the game cannot get the data from it fast enough to keep up with demand, gpu redraws old scene.

solution 1. check internet connection
2. check for memory /pagefile issues
3. check for updated drivers or rollback to known working.
4. open task manager / resource monitor, find the program using your hard drive, end it.

i assume you have done the usual scan for viruses using somthing other than malwarebytes? and also adware removal
and if youre using windows 10 creators ... thats probably an issue? though i dont know many radeon driver issues with creators.
