I'm having problems playing games due to large lag spikes. I'm worried about this now because I don't want to have the same problem when I get a real GPU later this year. Right now when I play Just Cause 3, by adjusting the settings I can get 25-30 fps, but every so often it will just dip, usually for long periods of time. (Note: this can happen at any time. Sometimes it happens during instense action scenes, other times it happens when I'm just driving a car). Here's what I do know.
1. MSI AfterBurner claims I'm using about 1800 MB of vram, even though my card only has 1 gig of Vram.
2.Every time I get one of the huge lag spikes along with it I also have a huge increase in disc usage (usually up to 100%).
3.My Ram usage is at about 7 gigs while playing Just Cause 3, but it seems like I still have about a gig of free ram. (I have 8 gigs of ram)
4. Every time the Disc usage spikes the graphics card usage dips way down. (Along with the frame rate).
Everything I've said I have screenshots for to show you what I'm talking about. If you need any other specs of the computer don't hesitate to ask. Again, I don't really mind that I can't play games right now, but I'm worried that this is an issue that will effect me in the future.
