So, yep, I have an integrated GPU (Radeon Vega 8 Graphic Controller) in my CPU (AMD Ryzen 3 2200G) shared memory on ASRock A320M-DGS. I know how this by itself speaks to me that the GPU is not much of a foundation to rely on for gaming. It kills me knowing it's a brand new configuration (I just bought it last week), and I started receiving problems just yet.
My preference for a system would be Intel proprietary, but AMD was my choice to buy, since I'm on a very low budget, and will be upgrading my configuration month-by-month with my salary.
The OS I'm using is Windows 10.
The games I play are DirectX, but it's just one game that I play (and it really bothers me how it's just 1 game, an old game, which runs on 32-bit architecture graphics) Counter Strike 1.6, and I still receive lag spikes each and every 5-6 seconds.
I regularly keep the drives of the GPU up-to-date, nothing much do I make as of changes to the settings.
I know how having a discrete GPU will relieve the workload of the CPU, which is in-tact with the workload of the GPU at the same time, since it's integrated, but I do not have the budget available to purchase a new video card.
I've been actively monitoring the processes, which mostly keep my OS busy, and they do not collide with the GPU.
I've been monitoring the temperature of my CPU. It has a brand new termal paste installed, the heat sink for the CPU (not motherboard's) is absolutely clean.
Any pro advice on how to keep the spikes at bay?
