Suttering lag
Suttering lag
Hello everyone. My PC has been with me for about a year now. Recently, I've noticed persistent lagging and significant frame drops across almost every game I play. I'm using an 1050ti processor and an i5 8500 (not overclocked), with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM. Initially, I played games like Forza Horizon 3, CSGO, GTA V, and others, but these were my favorites. Now, the same issues persist—lag is severe and some games are completely unplayable. I've tried everything from installing Windows first to cleaning my PC, but the problem remains. I'm unsure what to do next. Please help if you can, and feel free to ask any questions. I understand my system isn't very powerful, but it's sufficient for the games I play.

Are you referring to frame rates dropping and stuttering? Lag refers to network issues and is often mistakenly used for hardware or software problems.
How does your hardware usage and temperatures compare? Does changing GPU driver versions impact performance?
