Hey Everyone!

First post, so my apologies if I am missing required info. I built my first PC over the holidays and I am running into an issue with lag. I am running a Radeon R9 290X, on Windows 7 Profession, with 32GB of RAM, and an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz. I should be able to play most, if not all games on the highest settings, I would think. However, any game I play intro movies, load screens, or in game videos are lagging. I have gone through the forums here and some videos on Youtube and I am stumped. I have cleared out the old drivers completely, using Guru 3D and reinstalled the latest drivers. I am including my DxDiag, two short clips of the lag, and my 3D FPS Benchmarks. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

bharathbigb, thanks for the reply! I downloaded iObit and updated all the drivers my CPU, there is still the same lag issue. I will take the GPU out and reinstall it and make sure all of connections are clean and secure.

OK, I pulled the GPU cleaned everything and put it back in, still having the same issues. It does not happen with all games, for instance Hitman: Absolution is fine. I am wondering if I am just out of options and need to get over the lag for load intros and menus. Thoughts?

Have you ran hard drive diagnostics?

Ram problems can also cause this issue.


Install msi afterburner and monitor temps, post back with a pic of cpu/gpu usage when a lag happens.

I solved the issue. It was with the CPU power settings. I noticed the CPU was running a bit hot. I went here:

https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-23517

I followed the instructions and set the following:

Core Voltage: 1.10839844 V
Core Voltage Offset: 0.00000000 mV
Turbo Boost Power Max: 110W
Turbo Boost Short Power Max: 88W
Processor Current Limits: 105.000A

The settings prior to the change were all maxed out. Once set them at the Intel recommended level the lag was gone! Thanks for all of the help and advice, I really appriciate it.
