Is my pc still relevant?

Yieldsign27 · Oct 12, 2018

A few years ago I built my first pc. It runs and i7-4790k over clocked to 4.5 ghz, a gtx 980 over clocked as well, 32 gig Corsair dominator platinum ram at 1333 MHz. I have 3 27 inch Aoc 1080p monitors. I’ve noticed that on some games the graphics tend to lag a little, would this be because of the cpu or gpu? Thanks!

GPU - I have a similar system which has a better GPU and I don't lag.
So has to be GPU or some weird Software problem you have.

That's still a pretty relevant overall setup. What you should at least do is make sure that all your drivers and OS are up to date and that should clear up the lag issues.

still close to top tier rig
Check cpu/gpu temp and usage, hwinfo is a good tool and report back
what games do you see lagging?

You'd have to run some kind of resource monitoring software to see if it's the CPU or GPU - whichever one pegs at 100% when the system lags is the culprit.

Keep in mind that it COULD be the hard drives, if Windows is doing things behind the scenes (downloading updates or what have you).

Otherwise, your CPU is still very good, and your GPU should easily be able to handle games at 1920x1080 @ 60Hz at max settings. You have well more than enough RAM to handle anything.

King_V :

Possible and that entirely depends on the primary storage drive but I would still point to drivers / OS not being updated as the culprit.
