New built lag games

[ienstien965]

Hello, today i built a new pc but the games are very laggy, with the new beta for battlefield hardline, when i start the game i get good fps like 35-40 but then after 20 seconds the game becomes unplayable.
Crysis 3 won't even start!?

My build:

i5 2500k
650Ti Power Edition
ASRock Z77 Pro 3 motherboard

Is it maybe because of my hdd, i pulled it from my old built with windows and all my files still on it.
Could that be the problem?

New motherboard and gpu with an old hdd... Did you install all new drivers?

 

[ienstien965]

Yes all drivers

 

[J_E_D_70]

I'd try a windows reinstall and go from there as long as you're sure the gpu has the right power cable(s) attached and the psu is adequate.

 

[ienstien965]

I will try that tonight, the psu is new and is good.
I think the gpu has the right cable attached, i don't know for sure. I don't know what other cable i should use for that.

 

[J_E_D_70]

Should be labeled. Not sure if 650ti needs a cable even... Just worth checking.

 

[ienstien965]

Ok the cable was fine, i did reinstall windows 7 64bit. It's better but i still have massive lag spikes, any solution?

How are your temps, and how is your hardware utilization?

Also dont forget the game is Beta, so expect lag.

 

[ienstien965]

Battlefield 4 is also laggy as fuck, temps are good.
Cpu: 32c
MB: 29c

How is this possible with a new pc, the specs are good wtf

you could be running the games on higher settings than which your graphics card is capable of running them at. Try lowering the graphics down a notch and if Anti-Aliasing is on turn that off.

 

[ienstien965]

No that doesn't work, sill fucking laggy but this is bullshit because with my old, far lesser built i played battlefield 4 always good on low settings. I don't understand this.

 

[StevenGibson1994]

Have you tried different games because if you are playing the hardline beta then there most likely will be issues with connections and lagging. So maybe try a different game if possible and see what happens then.

 

[ienstien965]

When i turned off any oc settings the game ran good on high, but if i go to ultra the game starts to lag again (tested with battlefield 4).
Also when i play battlefield 4 MULTIPLAYER on the same high settings, it starts lagging again, but my internet connection is very good. Any explanation? My psu is also new at 500 watt

 

[StevenGibson1994]

If you are playing the game fine on campaign on Battlefield 4 with High settings but when you go to multiplayer with the exact same settings and it turns out to be lagging then it is most likely the server you are in. Also do you have any other games you can test except BF4 and Crysis 3.

 

[ienstien965]

It is definitely not the server, i'm gonna test with dying light in a couple of minutes

 

[StevenGibson1994]

How did you get on with Dying Light?

 

[ienstien965]

Well i finally found the solution, i reseated my ram and added another one of 4gb totalling 8gb.
Now the lag spikes are totally gone. I had also trouble with installing 2 sticks of ram but now i put them in slots 1 and 2 and it works perfect

I despair sometimes. I now remember why we always ask for full system specs first.

Also, NEW build? The processor was released 6 years ago and the graphics card 3 years ago.

Im surprised you managed to find a motherboard for that 2500k!
