Games a bit slow ?
Games a bit slow ?
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and flow:
You're experiencing some lag in demanding games like Battlefield 1, Sea of Thieves, and even during scenes with heavy scenery in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Your system – an Intel Core i7-6700K processor, 16GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card – is capable, but you’re noticing stuttering, particularly when visual detail increases. You've performed some basic testing and identified potential improvements such as upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD).
You currently have a 60Hz HP S2331a monitor, which might be contributing to the issue, especially with high-refresh rate games. A 144Hz monitor would allow for smoother visuals and reduced input lag – beneficial when experiencing lag in graphically intensive titles. You've already conducted some benchmarking, confirming your hardware’s overall performance, but the lag persists.
You’re a relatively new PC gamer with a decent setup, but you’re seeking to optimize your gaming experience. While your current components are functional, upgrading certain elements like the monitor and storage could address the stuttering you've encountered.
Here’s the rewritten text, aiming for clarity and a slightly more polished tone:
“I’ve built a PC primarily for gaming, utilizing an Intel Core i7-6700K processor and 16GB of RAM. I can run games like Battlefield 1 and Sea of Thieves smoothly on ultra settings. However, I'm experiencing some lag in Shadow of the Tomb Raider when the scenery is particularly dense – it causes a slight shuddering on my HP S2331a 60Hz monitor. My benchmark tests show no hardware issues, but the lag persists. I’m considering upgrading to an SSD to see if that helps, though I'm still unsure how to address this issue completely. I have some basic PC knowledge but am not a technical expert. I’m wondering if I need a 144Hz monitor for optimal performance in newer games.”

Hi i have built a pc for gaming (specs below) and when i play battlefield 1 it runs on ultra settings fine and also sea of thieves but i have just got shadow of the tomb raider and when set on high setting it plays ok but when there is a lot scenery when you turn its just slightly shuddering - the monitor i have is a Hp S2331a 60hz and is about 10 or more years old - do i need a 144hz monitor to be able to play latest games ?
I have done bench test and it reports all is ok but i just seem to get the lag in high end games - i am going to get a ssd drive and maybe try that but its just bugging me - i know a bit about pc but am no expert ?
WINDOWS
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.00GHz Skylake
RAM
16GB Corsair vengence - 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1065MHz (15-15-15-36)
MOTHERBOARD
Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. B250M-Gaming 3-CF (U3E1)
GRAPHICS
8192MB ATI Radeon RX 580 Series (C.P. Technology)
The RX 580 will struggle a bit with SOTTR, unless you upgrade the GPU you will have to lower the settings.
The CPU is fine.
SOTTR is no joke once the settings are cranked up.
A new Freesync 144hz monitor couldn't hurt either, could smooth things out for you.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:
“I’ve built a PC for gaming with specifications below and it runs Battlefield 1 and Sea of Thieves smoothly on ultra settings. However, Shadow of the Tomb Raider experiences slight lag when the scenery is dense, particularly at high settings on my HP S2331a 60Hz monitor (approximately 10 years old). My system includes an Intel Core i7-6700K CPU, 16GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card.
I’ve run benchmark tests which indicate no hardware issues, but I still experience lag in demanding games. I plan to upgrade to a solid-state drive (SSD) to see if that helps. While the CPU is adequate, Shadow of the Tomb Raider can be taxing with high settings.
Considering this, do I need a 144Hz monitor to play newer games effectively? A new Freesync 144hz monitor could potentially improve performance.”

Will a geforce 1070 be any good?
Yes, that will help a lot.
