Hi! I recently build my own pc, and i've got all drivers and my BIOS updated, but still i get massive lag in games. It's quite strange, because when I play BF3 it works perfectly through the campaign, until I go online. When i do, the fps drops to like maybe 35-40, but in campaign i've got maybe 60-80, and changing the graphics settings doesn't do any good. It looks like i run newer games better than old, like Fallout NV isn't playable at all. When that is said, also when i play Borderlands 2 (wich is one of the newer games), I often get lag. It actually looks like the fps drops when i meet an npc in games. I updated all my drivers and the BIOS multiple times, and then i ran a program called uniblue driverscanner, wich scans your computer for outdated drivers, and then installs them. I'm wondering if this hole problem could be caused by the cpu, but i realy don't know. Iv'e got issue for a looong time, please help! (PS) My specs are:
Gigabyte 970A-UD3-mobo
Asus hd 7850-graphics
GS 600w corsair-psu
4gb XMS3 ddr3-ram
AMD FX 4100-cpu
1TB seagate-hdd

Offline bf3 is mostly gpu bound, online with all the other people the pendulum swings towards the cpu as limiting factor.
It's your cpu, its nearly bottom of the barrel for gaming.
You need to overclock it.

Well at least we know it is not the cpu then.
If you have installed all the motherboard drivers, direct x, video drivers.
Have you run a ram or hard drive check recently?
Could also be a virus or other thing running in the background.
Try to close all programs before running a game.

Do you mean like memtest? I don't realy think i have tested my ram or harddrive at all actually, but i will try.

Does lowering settings help or fix the problem in games other than BF3? I would expect that drop in BF3 from the single to multiplayer (much more CPU intensive) but Fallout NV should run fine on any modern CPU (and GPU for that matter).Lowering settings does no good, im affraid, but actually TF2 runs pretty smood on highest settings tho

I ran memtest and seagatetools to test both the ram and hdd. No errors. Perfectly fine. I have also tried closing all programs before playing a game, but no difference.

Thats expected in BF3 but not Metro try Fallout NV. Was the GPU any higher in Metro than BF3 also is it different in BF3 single and multiplayer?The cpu drops to about 50% when playing FalloutNV. In single player BF3, the cpu still is very active, but it drops much more often and not quite as stressed as in multiplayer. The GPU usage was not so different from multiplayer to single player tho.
