    Games start lagging a few seconds after launch, despite a nice processor and decent specs


    whenever I launch a game, my pc Lenovo IdeaPad slim 5 14ARE05, win10 starts lagging hard a few seconds into the game used to only happen when I had it plugged in first but now it happens when on battery as well. the processor ryzen 7 4700U gets stuck at 0.38GHz and fps drops to 10~. it gets better for a moment and it's the same thing again. this started 1 month after purchase and it got progressively worse. Has anyone got a fix for this? thank youspecs: 8 gigs ram/ 512 gigs SSD, Radeon 7 graphics running the latest bios I've tried:installing the latest chipset and display drivers fr

    Specs you need for a nice lag-free game


    3D games such as Minecraft or Assassins creed sure do need lots of expensive specs. Here's the minimums:
    • 4GB of RAM, 2GB will cause lag.
    • At least an i3 Processor, won't run on Extremely high-leveled games like Assassins Creed. Must be at least 2.6GHZ
    For Assassins Creed, you'll need:
    • 6GB of ram (Yup, welcome to the RAM eating world)
    • Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD Phenom II x4 940 or AMD FX-8350 GHz(Welcome to the most expensive things world). For core i5 you'll need 3.3GHZ, for AMD phenom II x4 940 you'll need 3.0, for AMD FX-8350 you'll need 4.
    ​That's all.

    Most modern CPU's will run everything fine these days. For lag free it's all about the video card.

    (Although decent drivers and optimization are the next biggest requirements)

    Games Lag


    Hello,
    I am posting here for some fresh insight to help me troubleshoot my game lag issues. I just recently built a new computer and am using Windows 10 for the first time. All of my games are lagging despite the greatly varied system requirements and they all lag at the same rate despite having them run at the highest or lowest capacity graphics settings. I have made sure all drivers are installed and up to date. I have verified the cache for each game individually. I have tried setting my GPU to run at max capacity from the Nvidia Control Panel. I have tried a clean boot in hopes of seeing that might of helped. I have tried setting the Steam client to beta. I have disabled the Xbox app DVR. These were all the suggestions I've gotten through many forums and also through live chat with Nvidia, Microsoft, and Steam. I've also ruled out hardware by running another hard drive on my new build with the Windows 7 OS and had no issues running my games at max graphics settings. My GPU, CPU, and Memory all run at normal capacities while in game aswell.

    I apologize for the lengthy description, I've just been troubleshooting for quite a while now and have gotten no positive results. So I really appreciate any new insight, suggestions, and ideas, thank you.

    System Specs:
    ASRock H97M Pro 4
    Intel I7 4790K
    16gb DDR3 Ram
    ASUS GTX 970 OC
