So, I'm going to list my monitor, all my specs letter by letter from how they appear in "speccy", and a few extra details. I have been a console gamer for 8 years, until three months ago. I bought a $1000 prebuilt PC from IBUYPOWER because I don't necessarily know how to make my own, the plan was to learn how to in small steps when I upgraded the parts. So, the experience for the most part has been awesome. I'm just not that experienced with this sort of stuff. I know a little about it, I'm not completely oblivious. I just got a 144 fps g sync monitor, too. So, my monitor is a Dell s2417dg. I also have a generic curved Samsung 60hz monitor I use for some things, but it's usually off when I'm gaming. and yes i make sure in windows it says display on 1 only. My specs: OS: Win10 Home. CPU: Intel Core i7 @ 3.00GHz (under it, it says: Kaby Lake 14nm Technology) RAM: 16.0GB. Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF B365M-PLUS GAMING (LGA1151) Graphics: 2047MB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 Ti (Gigabyte) Storage: 223GB Maxtor Z1 SSD 240GB (SATA) and a 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-08WN4A0
So, I get lag when I play games such as For Honor, Modern Warfare, and Borderlands 3 (i cant even run bl3 above 70fps, but thats ok to me i just wish the stuttering would go away. I should also say that the lag isnt like.. lag lag. I get 144fps on mw and fh, but on fh i get little microstutters if you will, same with mw but on mw it sometimes is huge spikes. and also if it matters, on for honor i still get stutters at 60fps. for background tasks, i run voicemod, some game launchers (steam, battlenet) spotify, and discord. BUT! if i go into my task manager, there are so many SERVICE HOSTS and stuff that looks like windows things. it makes it hard to find tasks i want too. its a huge list. right now i have this website open, spotify playing, modern warfare open but minimized on its main menu, voicemod, steam, battlenet, discord, and speccy open and my cpu is on 50 percent. Im sorry if this was all over the place, im not good with this kind of stuff. btw 144hz is so smooth..
