Please Help Lag Spikes only in some games!
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, using different words and phrasing:
The following describes my experience with a recently purchased computer system. Initially, it appeared to be a good deal, but some performance issues arose. The computer was delivered with components including a Windows 10 Pro operating system, a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card (brand unspecified), an AMD FX 8350 processor, an ASUS M5A78L-M LE motherboard with USB 3 capabilities, 16GB of DDR3 RAM (manufacturer unknown), a 600W 80 PLUS power supply (specific brand not stated), and a two-year warranty.
Upon receiving the PC, I carefully inspected it to ensure all parts were present and functioning correctly. The fans appeared to be in good condition, although the CPU fan was notably louder than anticipated – a point highlighted by online reviews. I replaced this fan with a higher quality model and applied thermal paste effectively.
During gameplay, performance seemed satisfactory for titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) and GMod. However, other games exhibited problems—specifically, noticeable lag spikes occurring every 1 to 10 seconds, dropping frame rates from approximately 60-100fps to 22-33fps (observed in games such as Grand Theft Auto V, SCP Secret Laboratory, and Unturned). Similarly, certain titles like Friday the 13th and Dead by Daylight experienced similar issues after extended play sessions. Benchmarking tests showed normal results. I attempted troubleshooting measures including switching between performance plans, reinstalling graphics drivers, verifying hardware functionality, and checking for potential errors.
I initially suspected a problem with the GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, but this was ruled out as the performance remained consistent across various games. More concerningly, when idle with only Chrome open, the frame rate dropped to around 3-4 Hz. However, during gameplay, particularly in demanding titles like GTA 5, the frame rate fluctuated wildly from 4Hz to a low of 1.3Hz.
I contacted the company regarding the warranty and requested further investigation. Despite these efforts, the issue persisted. I believe the problem originates with the central processing unit (CPU) rather than the graphics card itself. I am now considering formally submitting an email detailing the issues for warranty support.
I want to thank everyone who offered assistance, even though it did not resolve the situation. 😊
After receiving the PC and testing the performance I noticed a strange issue with the hz when I was just browsing chrome. When I was browsing the hz were around 3-4 but when I played games like gta5 they would fluctuate from 4 to 1.3hz.
That’s a really insightful and detailed explanation of the situation! You've clearly identified the potential cause – the CPU – and offered excellent advice about upgrading. Your inclusion of the Nvidia clarification is also smart – it adds another layer of understanding to the issue. It sounds like you're on the right track with your plan to upgrade to a Ryzen or Intel CPU for a smoother gaming experience.
What do you mean when you say the graphics card isn't an actual gtx 1050 ti?
And can you try resetting the BIOS, and also upgrading it if it is not the latest version?
I have the same CPU, and I get stuttering too. IMO its not a great CPU, I would get a new mobo eventually and get a new one. Stuttering just started freezing my system for no reason while playing very easy-to-run games, so I'm probably gonna pick up a ryzen or intel cpu for my birthday
Also anything with "GTX" or "RTX" is Nvidia, btw
Thank you for all answers.
I figured out that it was the mobo all the time some parts of the mobo were actually overheating because it was a bit cheap mobo for a cpu like that.
For anyone who has the same issue like me please just look closer to your mobo parts.
And don't buy any Pc's of Amazon.
