I used to run games (pes 16,dmc,batman AC etc. ) smoothly on my PC.
But due to a problem with software I had to re install windows. I updated my gpu driver, dX (June 2010) , .net 4.6 and c++ (2008 and 2012). Still all games lag. Especially pes16. Plz help.

Specs-
Pentium dual core 3ghz
6gb ram
R7 250 1gb ddr5
Win7 64bit
 


Fist of all, get windows 10.
 

why?

 


im using crimson 16.3.2. i think its the latest version.

btw can it be be caused by not having vcredist 2015?
 


Because we don't use CRT monitors anymore :)
Joke aside, it's an all around better os and less demanding on a not-so-great system such as yours.
And you are less prone do do something wrong on a fresh install of that than 7.
 


OK I'll try that, but do you know why is it lagging now?
