Freezes/lag spikes.
Freezes/lag spikes.
So i've had my prebuilt for a year now, and ever since i got it, I've had mini freezes/lag spikes. It's let me to believe it's my internet, as when i do decide to play fortnite, ill freeze, and see my ping jump from 20 to 300, and back down to 20. But when running task manager when playing fortnite, my network never seems to have a problem. From these videos and screenshots you can see. (these are taken while playing ARK, a game i should handle easily) These were taken right after a spike. Here is a clip of what i deal with multiple times every minute:

It might be RAM, 8GB is actually quite sufficient, particularly when other programs are running alongside while gaming. When you refer to 'freezes/lag spikes,' do you mean the whole system halts completely, the game stops entirely for a moment, or that others freeze briefly due to a connection issue?
Is there an alternative to utilize Ethernet? This might be very useful.
yes i have an ssd. the samson qvo 860 supports 520mb/s read and write, yet this game is running on my e drive while only my c drive is actively used.
