Fast youtube, slow games

[rallythemilitia]

Hello everyone,

This is my problem: in game lag. I can, for example, watch HD youtube videos with no problems, but when I try to play games like BF4, WoW, or DOTA 2 I get a bunch of nasty, choppy lag.

Here are the results of my latest speed test: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/4782633374 .

I turned off Windows Firewall so that shouldn't be causing any issues. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix my in game lag problem?

What are your pc specs?

Like the others have said, running YouTube videos is nothing. What are your actual computer specifications, to understand why you are unable to run your games at a speed that is favorable?

One of the only things I could think of at the moment would be to check if you have any window's updates you have not installed yet, or check if you have the latest drivers for your hardware.
