Recently I built a new gaming rig, my specs are:
Intel Core i5-4670K Processor:
Corsair H80i CPU Cooler:
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H Motherboard:
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Graphics Card:
8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Memory:
120GB Samsung 840 Series SSD:
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black Hard Drive: h
750W Corsair TX750M Power Supply:
The computer is pretty high-end, as you can tell. I am also running Windows 8.1 as the OS. I instaleld 3 games so far to test the performance: CSGO, Borderlands 2, and Metro: Last Light. All the games run smoothly at 60+ FPS for a minute or two before starting to stutter and lag severely, more and more as i keep playing. I was confused, as I knew the hardware COULD run the games without a problem, on all max settings. At first I thought it was my CPU or GPU overheating, however i installed MSI Afterburner to monitor that stuff, and the readings show normal. For now I am using a the 120 GB SSD as teh hard drive since my 1 tb didnt arrive yet, so i am confused as to why my games lag, seemingly without any obvious reasons. Please dont respond, "update you GPU drivers" or "check for malware", the pc is brand new, i already know that. However i would like a link to a site to update motherboard drives if that may be the case to why my PC lags so much. Thanks.
