Whenever I play any games I lag. I was playing among us with my friends and I couldn’t watch YouTube on my second monitor without lagging. It isn’t my internet speeds, as I’ve tested it and it’s fine. It lags my whole PC. I reset my PC back to the preinstalled Windows and it still hasn’t improved. I updated all of my drivers, including reinstalling them. Still no improvement. I don’t think on Overwatch I should be getting 40fps while on the lowest settings. I’ve dusted my computer and checked all the connections. The temperatures are fine, they stay around 60-70°C. I do play games at 1440p, but I hadn’t had any issues until recently. I haven’t done anything different recently. I really don’t know what could be causing this.
Right on my desktop, with no games active, my GPU usage is between 1-2% and CPU consumption is around 4-8%. On Overwatch, my VRAM is at 1300MB, CPU temperature is about 60°C. I maintain around 60-70fps with medium settings but often lose frames. During gameplay, GPU usage rises to 40-60% while CPU stays under 40%. RAM usage is approximately 50% of the 16GB capacity. I’m hoping this information proves helpful. Both monitors are directly connected to the GPU.
According to Try hang-the-9, consider removing the second monitor during troubleshooting. Turn off all overlays.
Didn't alter the matter. I continue to receive many frames. My primary display runs at 1440p with 165hz, while the secondary model operates at 1080p and 144hz. I haven't encountered any issues before. I've used both for a few months, but this problem only emerged about a week ago.
This would be a helpful addition to the original message. Have you verified your CPU and GPU usage during the incident? Were you certain no additional programs were installed after completing a clean Windows installation before retesting? Did you download and install the motherboard and video card drivers directly from the manufacturer's support pages, or did you use a third-party driver utility?
I mentioned in my original comment that it began recently. I verified the usage while dropping frames, but nothing changed—no spikes or drops. It remained almost unchanged. There were no other programs I'm aware of. I installed the update using GeForce Experience for my graphics card. I haven't updated my motherboard recently. I'll try again when I get home to check if it resolves the issue.
