So basically I've bought a new PC purposefully for gaming, I didn't get top spec components which might be one of the reasons why, but just after two days I seem to get lag spikes in game nearly every 5 seconds which is frustrating and I can't seem to figure out why after a few hours of research. I have only downloaded 2 games so far which are CSGO and PUBG (downloaded on SSD), in which CSGO was running fine within the first day, the second however was when lag spikes started to occur. My knowledge isn't the greatest with PC's but I can totally understand from other people's perspective.
I've started to notice that the lag spikes started during a config custom map in CSGO, is there any chance this could've changed things it shouldn't have?
I use CAM to monitor my PC and also noticed that the GPU temp increases drastically whenever a game is opened to about 70C+, and the load maxes out and drops whenever a lag spike would happen.
I ran an userbenchmark also to confirm it was the GPU and it mentioned it was performing below expectations.. Is there just something wrong with the GPU?
I am running with:
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i7 Six Core Processor i7-8700 (3.2GHz) 12MB Cache
Motherboard
ASUS® H310M-A: Micro-ATX, DDR4, LGA1151, USB 3.1, SATA 6GBs
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2400MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
3GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1060 - DVI, HDMI, 3 x DP
1st Hard Disk
2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 64MB CACHE
1st M.2 SSD Drive
250GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3400MB/R, 1500MB/W)
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you
