[SOLVED] When i play games like minecraft i get lag spikes but quite fast ones and it can be quite annoying does anyone know why?

[georgeok7]

my Computer
Ryzen 5 2500x
Geforce gtx 1050 ti
16gb of ram

And i also only get about 90fps when on the lowest settings on minecraft is that normal?

Make and model of PSU?
What are your temps idle and while gaming?
Have you scanned windows for malware?
Single or dual stick of ram and at what speed?

 

[georgeok7]

I think my psu is 400rm to 450rm im not sure because my receipt isnt anywhere
My gpu temps are 40 c and while playing minecraft 40 c
I have scanned my whole computer for malware
my ram is dual and the speed is 1467 Mhz

It is very important to know the exact model of the PSU. You can open your case and take a look at the sticker. Even better you can take a photo of it and upload it to imgur

 

[georgeok7]

Ok i will try to find out

Meanwhile restart your PC, have it sit idle for 5 mins and then run a UserBenchmark. Post the link to the results here.

This is going to sound super basic but have you allocated more ram to Minecraft? 4Gbs is a good amount for vanilla/optifine.

graphics doesnt seem to be doing much

Did you boot the pc and let it sit for 5 mins before running UBM?

If so you have too much stuff loading at startup.
Make your startup group skinny.
Also close the browser before running UBM.

alright ill do it again

MSI A320M PRO-M2 (MS-7B84) Performance Results - UserBenchmark

You have very high CPU background usage. You need to close everything else while running the benchmark or as already mentioned, restart your PC, let it sit for 5 mins then run it.

Your SSD is almost full and it's really bad for the performance. Most SSDs tend to reach HDD speeds when are almost full ( 30% or less free space). It might as well be a big part of your issue.

Your CPU is not performing as well as it should but that may be from either the high CPU background usage or from the lack of space from SSD.

I dont understand why my cpu background usage is so high when i had nothing running in the background
Also i did it again but waited a bit longer MSI A320M PRO-M2 (MS-7B84) Performance Results - UserBenchmark

10% or less is OK for cpu background usage.
1)The cpu's turbo boost(avg) is lower than the base clock. This can mean:
-Cpu thermal throttled.
-C drive was carried over from an older build, and you did not clean install Windows; you're still running chipset and registry drivers for the old cpu/motherboard.
There might be more, but I wouldn't be familiar with them.

2)Kingston A400. Dramless SSD. Very attractive pricing, but the performance tradeoff is not worth it.
Capacity too small, and it's too full.
The performance of a dramless model falls off earlier than it does with one that does have a ram cache.
For example: if a normal one starts to slow down at around 80% of its capacity, then a dramless one drops off at about half that, thus you need to get a higher capacity one if you go the dramless route.


There's the mixed ram thing too, but the biggest flags I can see are the 2 I mentioned above.

Is it normal that when i just went on vanilla minecraft and opened task manager my cpu usauge was 70% and my gpu usauge was 5%

 

[georgeok7]

Ive got some space on it now so the processor had a better pefromance MSI A320M PRO-M2 (MS-7B84) Performance Results - UserBenchmark

 

[Phaaze88]

That's the same link as the last one.

 

[georgeok7]

oh yeah sorry

 

[georgeok7]

this it it MSI A320M PRO-M2 (MS-7B84) Performance Results - UserBenchmark

Cpu turbo boost appears to be up now, but background usage was recorded at 17%. You probably forgot to close the browser or something.

Kingston A400 still a problem child though.
