Hi guys, just a quick question regarding my fps drop in league of legends. My settings are on minimum but I still drop in fps a lot when a lot happens on screen

here is my build:

GPU: GeForce GTX 650Ti
CPU: AMD 8320 8 core 3.5ghz
MoBo: A960d+
RAM: 8GB

According to my windows performance score my components are rated as such:
Processor 7.7
RAM 7.7
Graphics 7.4
Gaming graphics (3d) 7.4
Primary Hard Disk 5.9

I thought these ratings were okay, so why do i lag? any suggestions? do i perhaps need to upgrade some parts? also im running windows 8u.1 if that makes a difference. Thanks!

My ping is never above 50. My d/l speed is between 50-80mbps, upload speed is roughly 10mbps

That's weird.
If you do plan on upgrading, how much do you plan on spending?

ive just upgraded my processor from an fx4100 to the 8320.

I was planning on perhaps a new mobo and gpu. spend around £250 on both

Your hardware is more than enough, League is a very low end game.

Try installing the latest Geforce drivers.

Might be worth dropping back to a previous driver then, or reinstalling the drivers

Is this the only game you get poor performance on?

Download MSI afterburner and see what your GPU usage is when playing LoL.

Rob that's what i was thinking, his system should be more than enough to handle the game at high settings. try updating drives

I'll try win 7 compatibility mode. Windows 8 is a disaster according to what I've read online.
