Question What are good internet settings for online gaming ?

[marliyna]

I was playing an fps game and my game started lagging. I'm playing on the first pc I built and I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the internet or my pc. Are these normal numbers/good for gaming?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, used, refurbished)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Attached peripherals?

What games do you play?

Use Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) to observe system performance.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Use all three tools but only one tool at a time.

You will need to keep the tool window open and viewable while working and gaming.

Objective simply to learn more about your system's performance. Determine what happens or perhaps stops happening when game play lags.

It will require some time and effort to figure out a method that works for you.

As for the presented upload and download speeds that is mostly a matter of what service level(s) your ISP provides. However, the problem could be some faulty network component (cable) or network mis-configuration. Watch network performance.

And if you discover any performance problems directly attributable to a given game then the PC Gaming folks may be able to comment and make suggestions.

First though is to identify where/when lagging occurs.

[Side note: I limit my disks to 70-80% of capacity. That is just me. Your Disk C is at the upper limit so keep an eye on it. If possible do some "housekeeping" to remove unecessary files. Be sure that everything important is backed up at least 2 x to locations away from the system in question.. Verify that the backups are recoverable and readable.]
