Lag spikes combined with hard drive performance
Lag spikes combined with hard drive performance
Hello! Your question is clear. You're seeing a consistent ~280 fps but experiencing noticeable lag spikes every 20 seconds. The link you shared likely shows network or system performance data. It probably indicates that the lag spikes are related to your internet connection or background processes during those intervals. Checking your internet speed and stability during those moments might help clarify what's causing the issue. Thanks for sharing!
Are there any temperature concerns? Does your hard drive spin at 5400 or 7200 RPM?
Is there any security program actively using system resources? It can significantly affect gaming performance since it consumes a lot of CPU power during gameplay. Your hard drive speed doesn’t seem to be the issue, but if it is, upgrading to a solid-state drive might improve load times.
Check if Windows Defender is interfering with your game; disabling it might improve performance.
