Funny thing is I tried that tonight and it actually worked for a while then along came that lag. Idk I'm thinking it's more of a server ping issue than my computer at this point. That or Spectrum's best internet is most likely their worst. Not many options in the central north east I guess. No 10gb anytime soon lol

Yeah I thought about this as well. When I removed the RX560, I installed the 1060, hardware only. Removed the drivers in safe mode, rebooted and installed the latest GeForce Drivers. Everything seemed to work fine, mainly these two games have been giving me issues. Like you said, poorly optimized? But on that same note Apex was running really good for a while before I started noticing lag, this suddenly happened after I installed GRD 436.30

I have done that as well. GRD 436.30 installed. Still experiencing issues.

I’m reaching out to community with a bit of confusion because I’ve been working with computers my whole life, and at this point I’m just confused. Or possibly I’m just not doing something right because a number of things can be wrong in this situation. So before I go further here’s my specs. Mind you this is a budget rig so no ridiculous comments on how I could do better… I already know this and that’s why I built this entry level rig, with hopes for future upgrades, but fiscally it just fits my needs for now: ASRock B450M Pro4 Motherboard (Bios updated, latest AMD chipset drivers installed) Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHZ (Stock Clocks) – (Wraith Spire Cooler) 16GB T-Force Delta RGB Memory 3000MHz (Overclockable to 3200MHz) 4x4x4x4 Config. 512GB Addlink S20 3D TLC NAND SSD (OS Boot) – (AHCI On) (Drive optimization off) 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HDD (Game Drive) Zotac Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB (Stock Configuration) (Latest 436.30 drivers) EVGA 80plus Bronze 500w Power Supply Aero Cool Cylon RGB Flow (Full Tower Case) (I’m aware not the greatest for cooling) Uphere RGB case fans 3 in front (Pull) 1 rear stock fan (Push) Windows 10 Pro 64bit (1903) Cortana off, optimization settings from Tech Yes City’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOO2J9_Aizs I have installed the SSD first with a clean install Windows 10 Pro 64bit with 1903 and all the latest updates. I had a different graphics card in the system during install, a Radeon RX560 just as a test card to get the board to post. I had the Nvidia card in my Dell OEM system at the time and planned on swapping them out, obviously. I removed the RX560 and installed my GTX 1060 6GB ran DDU software to remove all old drivers. I then installed the required Nvidia drivers(using Geforce Experience at first)… I know but I have tried uninstalling that but still ended up with the same issues I’m about to list. Having said that I can play almost any game on the system without issues, except Ghost Recon Wildlands, which seems to lag a lot but mainly when driving, and road textures seem to pop in later than usual at times. I have tried all settings with the game, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, tried it on my SSD, nothing but issues. (I’m aware that GRW is buggy af) I have recently encountered lagging issues with Apex Legends, mainly in congested areas. I have done the same with this game, lowered settings, switched drives, still issues. I have tried switching SATA ports, changing cables, swapping games between drives, overclocking my processor to 3.4 to 3.6GHZ voltage at 1.35v max(need a better cooler), overlocking the memory to 3200Mhz, nothing seems work. I have my memory stable at 3000Mhz right now and my processor at stock 3.2GHz. I have reseated the GPU and CPU just to be sure. I have tried every imaginable thing other than re-installing windows, which I don’t really see the reason or the setback of doing so, considering I have no viruses or malware. This SSD does have one caveat as well that I can’t update the firmware. I’m well aware I could get a better SSD (Addlink recommended by ScatterVolt) but I don’t think it’s the issue, simply because it runs everything else fine. I have had a little system pause though here and there for a second two when loading certain programs, and no my task manager is not at 100%. My HDD is brand new as well. So any feedback into this odd situation, I would appreciate it. Maybe it’s just Nvidia drivers? Or Windows 10 acting a fool? Any suggestions would help.
