Hi Guys, Ive recently bought a new PC, everything is new in it expect for most of the drives and the GPU which I transferred over from my last PC.
All I have done is installed a new OS, drivers, tools and steam.
The issue im experiencing is that while playing games, or at least thats just when I notice it, I get desync, all of a sudden players will move to different places in a frame, discord will get disconnected.
Knowing that discord and the game stop network activity at the same time, its obviously not a game server issue.
Ive downloaded the tools for the network adapter and gone to device manager and updated the drivers and nothing is seeming to stop it.
The motherboard is a MSI X470 gaming pro carbon and Ive installed the Intel PROSet adapter configuration utility.
still having no idea what the issue is I tried to ping google servers to get a idea, dont know if it will help.
Most of the time the ping requests will come back as 15ms but now and then i`ll get a random high value.

Any help would be appricated.

Update:
I tried a different computer in the house and got the same sort of results.
