Last response: in CPUs
Share

Why whenever I play online games that have quite a bit of people in one place ex PlanetSide2, ARMA II (certain missions) the framerate gets really choppy. I got a HP computer with an upgraded PSU-520W, upgraded video card gtx 660ti and a upgraded processor AMD FX-8350 (black edition) no oc'd please tell me any advice im about done with this lag. I personally think its because of my low PSU wattage or processor. thanks

So the internet connect can effect framerate in online games??


If you don't have a problem when playing offline, then it would be very safe to say it is your ISP. Perform a speed test at speedtest.net. I would recommend at least 10down and 1.5up, at least. If your not getting that your gonna see lag.

Yea I have no problem playing offline but I upgraded last week to an 8350 from a 8150 should I have done that cause now I know its my internet. I think im going to take it back. My internet is 6 down and 1 up but after I go over 60gb it goes to 0.2 down and like 0.1 up. Its horrid im switching isp's soon.

That is very bad. 60gb is weak your ISP is crap. Sorry. But that is most definitely your problem.

thats your call about switching out, i'd stay with the 8350 since it does have better performance, also, even with an amazing broadband connection....sometimes you can experience lag when playing online games, it all depends on how crowded the servers are....mmo's are really bad for this sometimes

So I should just keep the piledriver for now yea, and im in Alberta, Canada out in the country. I just found another isp that offers dsl, right now I have wireless and its garbage. My current ISP -> http://mcsnet.ca/
The ones I want -> http://patriotcomputers.ca/ or http://www.lightspeed.ca/

Here is a list that are available to me (well are supposed to be) -> http://www.canadianisp.ca/cgi-bin/ispsearch.cgi

Thanks for helping me everyone.
