Is my pc a good for gaming

[davonte923]

My cpu is a i7 2600
My gpu is 1050 ti
Ram 8 gb of ddr3

I can’t run many games without lagging and getting stuttering

I need to know what I need to upgrade

You will want to test out your system, download HWmonitor and check the CPU/GPU usage as well as temps for both while gaming then adjust the graphics lower and see if that improves the FPS.

Post the usage and temps.

Do you have SSD? My machine is similar spec and i have no lag in games.
Also make sure all your drivers are up to date.

There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to game at 1080p with midrange graphics settings on that PC. It’s either your temps are too high and it’s throttling or your HDD is failing and not sending data fast enough. Try opening a game in windowed mode and pull up task manager. See how much disk usage you have. Check to see what programs are running in the background if the disk usage is pinned at 100%

Can my temp bottle neck my fps

Can my temp bottle neck my fps

It can cause whats known as thermal throttling which essentially lowers the performance of the system to avoid damage so yes it can drop your FPS. Use HWmonitor and check the max temp on the CPU & GPU while gaming.

I will try that wildcard

 

[davonte923]

I tryed lowering all my setting to the lowest possible and I still get dips and stuttering

 

[davonte923]

But I didn’t do the hw monitor

Even with the lowest settings if your temps are going too high it will still slow down so it does not burn itself up. You need to install HWmonitor and run a game and see what your cpu and gpu temperatures are
