Slow and Lag

[pallid fossil]

is your computer and steam updated to the latest version im not a computer expert i was just making sure

[cyan forge]

Just checked both are up to date

Bro something must be wrong for sure.. Im running a 970 gpu with a I5 cpu running the game in ultra, smooth as butter with discord, spotify and google chrome on the side

maybe your internet is bad?

[cyan forge]

My internet seems to be fine but honestly I don't even know anymore. I thought my game would be running a lot smoother after upgrading

[bright bay]

You can check temps on the cpu and gpu. Could be thermal throttling

[cyan forge]

While trying to play it raised up to 91 °C, not sure if that bad or not

[bright bay]

Thats up there. How long did you have the game open to get that temp?

[cyan forge]

Not even 2 minutes

[bright bay]

Ya not good

Leave the game open for like 15 minutes and tell me the temp. Lemme guess, does the game run fine for the first min and then slow down ALOT? @cyan forge

[cyan forge]

Ok I’ll try that rn and I’ll let you know

And it’s fine then really slow

[bright bay]

If you see 100c you are thermal throttling. Yep if its fine then slow your thermal throttling. Is this is the cpu or gpu?

[cyan forge]

So far sitting at 92C, that’s my gpu, I can’t find cpu temp

[cyan forge]

It reach 95C

[bright bay]

Ya, thermal throttling. Max temp for gpu's is 95c. Are your gpu fans spinning? Could you post a pic of your PC?

[bright bay]

Check the fans on the gpu, are the spinning?

[cyan forge]

They’re spinning

[bright bay]

Sounds like either a airflow issue in the case or your gpu need a repasting. More than likely the repasting as your gpu is only a 75w gpu

[cyan forge]

I’ll look into repasting my gpu, I’m not sure what I can do for more airflow tho. Does it matter which thermal paste to buy and recommendations? Thank you

[bright bay]

For that specific application any thermal paste will do. Im pretty sure even with no airflow it wouldnt cause the gpu to thermal throttle. A repaste should fix your issue. If not its software related
