i sit right next to my girlfriend and play it and she has much better luck with same settings and lower specs

i have a decent system the specs are

Gtx 970
i5 4590
8gb ram

we both use wireless. she uses a usb dongle and i use a tp link pci-e card.

It's your wireless card.
If you try wired I bet it goes away.
Since she has a USB dongle, can you try using it to see if the problem goes away?

i think it is the card. i switched recently from a dongle my self. I thought the card was supposed to be better.

Depends on the quality of the card.

TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter,2.4GHz 450Mbps/5Ghz 450Mbps. Was using a netgear n600.

It could be the back of your PC has a lot of Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) and that's messing with the signal.
There's alot of things that make wireless a huge hassle to deal with, wired is better even if you have cables "in the way"

i do have it pushed up against a wall under my monitor and next to some metal. Also my gf's pc is in the way of the signal technically.
