Hey guys,
My friend has been having problems with his ping spiking up randomly on CS:GO during competitive matches (which is a huge problem because he's our carry haha). His ping is around 30ms, but it's been jumping to 70-250ms randomly. For example, when he rounds a corner he'd teleport back and have to round that same corner 2-5 more times to actually get around it, and he'd rubberband back and forth while walking in a straight path. Sometimes CS:GO freezes and the sound glitches, causing it to repeat over and over again for a few seconds.
We have tried reinstalling Windows 7 on the same HDD, using a different WiFi adapter, restarting the router and modem, reapplying thermal paste on the CPU, monitoring CPU temps under load (and they're fine). Speedtest is fine with a ~15ms ping, ~60Mbps download and ~10Mbps upload. Pingtest gives him a 21ms ping and a 2ms jitter (which should be fine as well.) An ethernet connection is not feasible because he's across the house from the router.
His specs:
CPU: AMD A4-5300
HSF: Stock AMD
RAM: Patriot 8GB DDR3-1600
MOBO: ASUS F2A55-MLK
HDD: WD 500GB 7200RPM
USB WiFi adapter: ASUS USB-AC53
GPU: Radeon HD 7480D integrated on the APU (he also has an nVidia GeForce 9500 GT which he took out to eliminate factors that could cause lag somehow)
PSU: Generic 250W that came with the case
Router: Motorola Surfboard SBG6580 cable modem + router combo
Any ideas?
Thanks.
