High End Machine Lagging?

[Shills2618]

Hi,

I'm sure this question has been asked a but load but I'm completly stuck in a rut.
I've been slowly upgrading my machine for about a year now and I'm still dissapointed with the performance. Now, the machine seems to run things well, but others not. I primarily use it for gaming. Even on low demading games such as CSGO my machine can stutter at random points even when running at <60fps (This can be the same on all games even when on my SSD). Some games such as Men of War and Mirrors edge can run like garbage. It can be really frustrating.

I'm really looking forward to the division and love playing arma, but I just cant help think my PC should be performing better than it is. I'd like to be ready to play at max graphics 60+ frames. Any ideas as to why it could be slow, stuttery etc? Not sure wether I need to just upgrade more.

What cooler are you using on your processor? It could be throttling.

What 200 series graphics card do you have? Also if you have any overclocks, I have experienced that overclocking will greatly help me in some games but make me stutter or get very low FPS in other games. So run your hardware at stock speed if they arent already and also try updating all of your drivers. I would suggest trying Driver Booster 3 and updating all of your drivers. Also since you said you have been "slowly" upgrading your system it may be clogged up with drivers and files from old parts. Also could you post your ambient temperatures for your cpu and gpu and the temperatures under load? If it is possible try doing a clean install of windows and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for coming back, I have a ThermalTake Contac21 Cooler.
Not sure how it could effect my speed etc so any help with this would be dandy.

Thanks,

Not sure about temperatures. I'll try updating my drivers through Driver Booster 3 and get back to you.
I'll see if I can get the temp's.

Thanks,
