My games run slow but i have a good pc Most of the games I want to play start to run slow, I check if i can run them in the "can you run it" page and most of the times im in recommended, I have tried with Darksiders 2, Saints row 3 and many more.

Here are my PC specs. I have seen odd size ram kits in the past. For me, the FPS stayed the same. For other people, fixed it all. Edit No. Just because my HDD jumped off a cliff and I had to install a new system. You should ask yourself a couple of questions first: Does it lag only when you look at a specific part of the map? If yes, that means that the map you're playing on is poorly optimized and every single thing is rendered at all times. Good maps don't render things that you can't see.

Did you or someone spawn a lot of props? High amount of props will always make lag. That's because every single of them has to be seperately rendered and physics have to be calculated all the time.

Do you have a lot of programs open? Obvious question. Make sure to keep running programs to minimum. Is your computer overloaded?

Kinda the same as last time. If 2 or more answers are yes, the lag can't be fixed. I'm sorry. But, if they're almost all no, you can safely continue. Now, let's start with fixin' it up! There are a few methods, some of them are efficient and some aren't. Also, I used my "Phoutosahp Skillz" to translate some parts of my system.

Good for you. There used to be a pic here. What does it do: Priorities gmod over other programs How to do: Follow the image. But this is something different, it applies on ALL hardware. If you can't find one, make it. Try these things: Play on a different map. What does it do: Some maps are bad and will run slowly. Set the graphical settings to lowest. What does it do: Nothing with a fast computer. For the people with slow ones that are reading the guide too.

Doesn't work? Uninstall some addons. This is the most efficient way of removing lag. What does it do: Makes an instant upgrade from Pentium 3 to Core i7. What does it do: Not a lot. Only speeds up the system speed and boot times. Do this ONLY when you're really sure when you know what ya' doin'.

Also, I am not responsible for any kinds of damage to your stuff. The introductory sequence hangs for a second or two every time someone talks. There are a number of reasons why your machine might be struggling to run your new game. This guide will help you determine what the issue is, and ways to potentially resolve it. Open the Start menu and select Settings. Select Update and Security. Select Windows Update on the left, then select Check for updates. Once the system has finished checking for updates, it will automatically download and install the latest applicable updates.

The system also may prompt you to restart, if it does, please do so at your earliest convenience, otherwise the update process will not complete. Updating Your Graphics Driver If you just purchased a new game or your current game is having issues running you may need to update your video drivers. Your video card uses the drivers to communicate with the rest of your system. New drivers often have bug fixes, new services, and updated settings.

Select Device Manager. Select the small arrow next to Display adapters to expand that section, and see the devices in them. Double click one of the devices under one of these headings to show its properties. Select Driver. Select Update Driver. Select Search automatically for updated driver software. Windows will automatically locate any updated drivers available. If any updated drivers are available, you'll be offered the chance to install them. Once installed, or if none are available, close the driver updater for this device.

Repeat these steps till you've made sure all Display adapter devices are up-to-date. Begin typing "GeForce Experience" Windows will search your machine for the software.

Select GeForce Experience from the results. The GeForce Experience software will open. You may be prompted to log in. After logging in, the GeForce Experience software will display any available driver updates. If one is available, select the Express Installation button. The driver will begin to install. Your computer may need to reboot after installation completes.

From the Radeon Settings window, select Updates at the bottom left. If there is an update available, the button will say New Update instead. If updated drivers are available, you may see New Optional or Recommended drivers on this screen.

Select whichever is displayed to proceed. Select Express Upgrade. Select Proceed. The installer will open and begin the installation process.

Reducing Your Game's Settings Reducing the graphical settings of the game you're attempting to play reduces the demand it places on your computer's hardware, and can make a game playable, albeit a bit uglier from a graphical standpoint. Load the game you are attempting to play and navigate to the game's options or settings menu.

Look for Video or Graphics settings. Depending on the game you are playing, the labeling of this menu will vary. Some games offer a simple menu that allows the user to set graphical options using a range. Settings may range from low all the way to ultra. Try reducing these settings below where they are currently set.
