[SOLVED] Games a bit slow ?

[darenpink]

Hi i have built a pc for gaming (specs below) and when i play battlefield 1 it runs on ultra settings fine and also sea of thieves but i have just got shadow of the tomb raider and when set on high setting it plays ok but when there is a lot scenery when you turn its just slightly shuddering - the monitor i have is a Hp S2331a 60hz and is about 10 or more years old - do i need a 144hz monitor to be able to play latest games ?

I have done bench test and it reports all is ok but i just seem to get the lag in high end games - i am going to get a ssd drive and maybe try that but its just bugging me - i know a bit about pc but am no expert ?

What is your Hard Drive/Solid State Drive? I would look at that as a possible cause.

The RX 580 will struggle a bit with SOTTR, unless you upgrade the GPU you will have to lower the settings.

The CPU is fine.

SOTTR is no joke once the settings are cranked up.

A new Freesync 144hz monitor couldn't hurt either, could smooth things out for you.

Will a geforce 1070 be any good?

Yes, that will help a lot.
