My gaming PC is running slow, especially when i play games it should be able to handle. Any ideas?
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Video cards: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
RAM: 16GB
OS: Microsoft Windows 10 (build 15063), 64-bit

A couple things that instantly come to mind:

- Are drivers up to date?

- Might sound stupid, but are you sure that you're using the dedicated card rather than the integrated one?
Whatever cable you got between your PC and your monitor, make sure it connects to the GPU. If it's attached to the motherboard, it'll use the Intel HD Graphics integrated solution rather than your dedicated GTX 780.

Open up Task Manager by pressing CTRL + Shift + ESC.

Go to the performance tab, and make sure that your processing power is not being eaten up by malicious or hidden software you got from a download etc.


Check your GPU drivers, and try updating them
