Hardware issues aren't always the cause—check your settings and drivers.
Hardware issues aren't always the cause—check your settings and drivers.
I’m running the latest drivers and firmware, and my connection works fine enough. The speed isn’t the main issue—my experience with multiplayer games like Battlefront or Apex is smooth, and I don’t notice the same lag. My internet isn’t slow, so it’s probably not affecting performance.
I used a high-capacity 1TB M.2 NVMe storage device. I also tested an older Seagate hard drive I had on hand; there was no noticeable change in speed, though the SSD started the game faster.
It seems the issue might not be from your hardware or driver setup. Since you've tested various drivers and installed fresh Windows versions, the problem could stem from software conflicts, background processes, or system settings. Consider checking for updates, running a system scan, or consulting advanced troubleshooting steps.
This seems more related to a software problem than a physical issue. Try installing Razer Cortex to enhance performance while playing. Also, ensure all your games are properly optimized using the Nvidia GeForce app. It could be minor glitches causing the trouble.
I've tested GeForce for optimization but noticed no noticeable improvements, and Razer Cortex seems to offer benefits mainly on budget systems.
Cortex covers everything. Even top-tier machines can slow down sometimes because of all the unnecessary software they include.
I’ll attempt Cortex, but my setup has no extra software installed—it’s a clean Windows 10 Pro installation I downloaded myself (this is the 15th time trying, and it’s starting to feel exhausting).
