Lag in Games

[lahmed1368]

I have an Asus Q534 with 16 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M Graphics Card, i7-7700k (Kaby Lake), 2 terabyte hard drive with a 256 gigabyte SSD. My games lag seriously. An example is X-Plane 11 on the lowest settings. It normally runs at 40 Frames per Second, but it instead runs at 4 Frames per Second. Fortnite is similar to that on lowest settings. Please help!

No, that is NOT what you have. You cannot have a 7700k AND DDR3 memory. You better double check exactly what memory you have because DDR3 is not compatible with 7th Gen Intel processors, except a very small amount of compatiblity on Skylake systems.

Nothing after 4th Gen Haswell is truly "compatible" and nothing after Skylake 5th Gen will even fit DDR3 memory.

So either you are wrong on the memory or you are wrong on your CPU/motherboard.


The first thing I would highly suggest is that you do a clean install of the GPU card drivers using the DDU to remove the existing drivers and settings.

AND, if you are still using the same Windows installation that your laptop came with from the factory, I'd highly recommend doing a clean install of the Windows operating system. OEM systems, whether ASUS, HP, Dell, etc., all come with some much bloatware and useless crap on them that often half or more of the system resources is wasted on unnecessary software that is supposed to be "optimizing" the system but in reality is just a drain on resources, much like malware, except, not, specifically, identified as malware although I think it should be.

Also, how it possible that you have a 7700k when all indications are that the Asus Q534 is a laptop. You can't have a desktop CPU in a mobile device. Either you are seriously mistaken on several accounts or you are trolling. Or, there is something else going on.

This system (i7-7500u)?

Check your video drivers. Also, your operating temps. How hot is your CPU and GPU at idle and under load (like when gaming)?
