Highend PC Lagging Terribly

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

Hi everyone.

So I have this PC that everyone says is amazing. But Lags like crap. The main game I would like to play would be Flight Simulator X but when I first start it up I get around 100 FPS then give it like a minute later I go to 30 then drop.

My Specs are

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-350K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPU) ~3.8Ghz

Memory: 8192MB RAm
Page File: 3075MB Used, 2160MB Avab

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770

I need help badly. Dont know what to do.

Cheers

Have you downloaded all the GPU drivers, CPU drivers, Mobo drivers?

From what I hear Flight Simulator X could perform poorly even on high-end systems. I haven't tried it myself.

Do modern games perform well on your PC?

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

Mobo yes. GPU and CPU no. Where could I get that

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

Sadly all games lag. I dont know why thought. I keep getting told that my computer is great but I have no idea why it has lagged. Ever since the huge problem in December it has lagged

Drivers are important PEOPLE! Your cpu drivers are probably ok but GPU drivers are so important nothing can run properly without GPU drivers.

Download and install this and your games will actually run...also keep an eye out for new drivers every now and then, it improves performance etc, and when you do update drivers in the future, delete the old ones first using a driver sweeper called guru3d otherwise they will conflict.

Bryan K :

It's your drivers, you have none, why have you not downloaded drivers lol? And I haven't heard or can't fins info on the 350k did you mean the 3570k?

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

What could be causing the lag? Could it be the GPU?

IRyannHD · Apr 4, 2014

Bryan K :

It's your drivers, you have none, you need them, how and why do you not have them! download them from the link I gave you.

I dont know why I didnt have them. I just got this graphics card and have been asking my self why I have been having lag and have been looking to find the answer. This all started when my power supply burned up, and died which overheated my graphics card. I have been fearing that when my power supply went that it burned everything out.

That being said, This is going to fix the lag?

IRyannHD · Apr 4, 2014

Bryan K :

Just download the drivers...then reply if the lag is fixed.

Just check that while playing games is your GPU being used and the other thing could be your monitor's resolution if you got a very high resolution (greater than 1920*1080) or if you are running multiple monitor then sadly you can't run every game on ultra settings

w95linux :

OP finds it difficult to click on a link and press install on GPU drivers you are asking him to do way too much.

hopefully he's downloading now.

w95linux :

It's not settings, the OP doesn't even have GPU drivers!

IRyannHD · Apr 4, 2014

what confuses me is that anywhere when you search for lag problems, every website and forum will say "have you downloaded the most recent drivers."

Mouldread · Apr 4, 2014

Maybe some people would imagine drivers like... pizza delivery DRIVERS you know

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

Just download. Checking

What you're telling me there is no little person in my PC?

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

Still Lagging.

dont know what to do

IRyannHD · Apr 4, 2014

Bryan K :

After you installed the GPU drivers? (also are you on 64 or 32bit?) is vsync on, if so turn it off.

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

Installed that download you gave me. Just checked and Vsync is off

IRyannHD · Apr 4, 2014

Bryan K :

Are you running 32 or 64 bit windows, this will affect drivers. I gave you 64 bit download but if you run 32 bit then you need the 32 bit download.

Bryan K · Apr 4, 2014

I am running Windows 64 Home
