I believe your computer might be malfunctioning.
I believe your computer might be malfunctioning.
I recently purchased this new PC from pccasegear.com. It’s struggling with Rocket League on all medium settings, and Ark runs smoothly at low settings. On my headphones, audio is only coming from the right channel.
You're referring to "lag," which often means a delay in connection or performance. It could relate to FPS drops, inconsistencies, or issues like stuttering, tearing, or ghosting. For audio, make sure the drivers are updated and test with both headset connections, as a faulty one might be the cause.
Ark and Rocket League both have noticeable input lags, especially during gameplay. Frame rates can vary, with Rocket League generally offering smoother performance across most platforms.
In online games, a wobbly connection often leads to frustrating FPS problems. Lag is likely due to network issues. Since you received the system from PCCG, it’s probable you’re based in Australia. If using ADSL2+, that could be the problem; otherwise, an NBN T2 setup might point to hardware or driver faults. Consider running a speed test on your computer—here’s a useful link: http://beta.speedtest.net/
Ark is a frustrating experience with numerous features, working on any system but feeling sluggish, possibly due to internet delays.
Did you verify that every driver is current? NVidia just dropped a fresh driver on Monday.
