Latency spikes and frame drops are occasionally experienced in certain video games, while absent in others.
My computer’s specifications are a GTX 1070, an Intel Core i7-6700K processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1TB 7200rpm hard drive, and a 430 watt bronze power supply. I often experience frame rate dips and lag spikes in certain games, but not in others. Specifically, I encounter these problems with Minecraft, Rust, Star Wars: The Old Republic, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and Mordhau. However, games such as Star Wars Battlefront 2, Rocket League, and Rainbow Six Siege perform flawlessly. Despite consistently achieving high frame rates – typically over 100 in all titles – I still experience lag spikes and drops with the aforementioned games, and potentially others I've installed. Do you have any insights into this issue?
The outcome may vary based on whether you're gaming online or using numerous modifications.
The 1070 is estimated to need approximately 500 watts of overall system power, however, the key factor is whether your power supply unit can consistently deliver 26 amps. Typically, most 430-watt PSUs with decent quality will provide at least 30 amps.
To be clear, could you please specify the brand and model of your PSU, as well as its age?
I’m unsure of what to say. I recently checked my computer and it displays a power reading of 430 watts – bronze. I'm preparing to purchase this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073...1OLE&psc=1, but should I opt for a more powerful model instead?
That’s a really solid power supply unit. I don’t think you absolutely require that level of investment, however, it will definitely perform adequately.
