Lag spikes occur in every game [fps]
I've faced similar issues before, but finding a reliable fix hasn't been easy. My system specs are listed here: https://imgur.com/a/5MHKewc. I notice FPS spikes even when I press buttons in the main menu. It's becoming increasingly difficult to play games smoothly, and I'm unsure what might be causing this problem. I've tried various software solutions online, but it seems hardware might be the issue.
It seems the system may struggle with the workload. Consider starting with an SSD.
windows struggles with starting quickly on an hdd, often making boot times much slower
Usually you'll use an SSD for the operating system and whatever else fits well, but at least the OS will function properly. Even with strong other components, you'll still experience a very outdated feel without this. Regarding games, the main drawback of an HDD (besides load times) is how it affects movement—if games work smoothly when stationary but slow down significantly while driving or exploring new areas, the problem likely lies elsewhere. Yes, the MX500 line performs adequately. It doesn’t reach peak performance, but it’s also reasonably priced compared to its capabilities.
It might increase due to the hard drive needing to process all configurations simultaneously
Glad to hear the assistance was useful. It's usually okay to check things manually, though it slows down when I shift around. Thanks for your support!
