Hi guys,
I hope this is the right forum to be posting this, apologies in advance if not, but I am in urgent need of some help.
I've recently been noticing a lot of spikes in ping/latency that are happening very often on my PC. I'm struggling to figure out what the source of the latency problems are and I would love some help with it if anyone has the time
I am in the UK and am a Virgin Media customer. I am using the Virgin Superhub 3.0. Apparently there is a Puma 6 chipset within this hub that has notorious latency issues, however, these issues have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade that I have already got. And I never suffered from any latency issues until around 2 weeks ago.
My PC specs are as follows:
Windows 10 64bt OS
Intel Core i5-7400 @ 3GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB
ASUS Prime B250M Motherboard
I notice the latency issues most commonly in discord and in online games. My ping within a voicechat server usually idles at around 20ms, but can soar as high as 6500ms for a brief moment, disrupting the call entirely.
I've noticed that the ping always increases when I launch a game. If I am in a voice call and I launch a game, the ping will spike and so will the in game ping. Could I be suffering latency issues because of putting my PC under load?
As previously mentioned, this is a recent issue that i've never had before using this PC. It can usually handle the load of running discord and a game without any issue at all. But now, something so simple as opening a web browser can cause my ping to spike.
Thanks in advance for the help. Anything you can tell me to help me diagnose the source of these issues and/or fix them would be so greatly appreciated.
Cheers
