Windows 10: Wifi Lag when game's graphic settings are high

I seem to lag in many online games Overwatch, Fortnite, Apex, etc. when the game's graphic settings are set too high. The only way for me to play the multiplayer game is usually all low settings with windowed mode on. This is weird because I thought the graphic settings shouldn't affect the network. Can anyone please help meh?

Mouse Lag in Games

Mouse lag in games can be caused by using too high graphics settings, but can sometimes caused by having V-sync enabled,

particularly if the game is not running at high frame rates without V-sync being enabled. Enabling Triple-Buffering when using

V-sync can help with this in some instances.

Having FreeSync enabled can cause lag if your laptop does not use AMD graphics.

I believe a dodgy HDMI cable can also affect a monitors input lag, which in turn cause mouse lag.

 

What kinds of graphics settings should I set on games for my Windows 10 Laptop?

Hi,

Graphics settings will vary on a specific game. You can try the 1080p setting for the mean time, if you will experience any input lags on the game, we would suggest that you lower your graphics settings for you to play the game without input lag issues.

 

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.
