Oh the lag

[xXbunnyXx]

So question I tried to play Paladins on my newly built pc, but got massive lag as soon as I started up the game just at the log in screen it was horrible, when I actually found a lobby it was just bad.

So my question is am I experiencing such bad lag and tearing because of the refresh rate of my monitor?

I was thinking that my monitor was the problem but On my previous post, I was having problems with there being no display output through the gpu and had success when I plugged the display to the motherboard. (Recently fixed the problem by jumping the board) so could it be a gpu, monitor, or motherboard problem? Or all of the above? O_oo_O

well, is it plugged into the motherboard still? if so, thats your problem, you are using the intergrated graphics.

are the video card drivers installed, or the correct ones for that matter?

Well I think I’ve sort of figured out the problem. For some reason the video display works with the gpu but, my computer is not detecting the gpu. I have tried installing the new driver and older ones and it keeps saying the “Nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows” I’m using windows 10 I’m not using anything older. So I have no clue what to do.

Have you tried updating your windows?

Boot WIndows in to Safe Mode and Use the DDU uitily to completely nuke the Graphics drivers, then restart and proceed to reinstalling the new driver. Sometimes this is necessary as simply doing a "Clean install" from the Nvidia driver installer still leaves bits of the old driver behind and causes conflicts.

What GPU do you have? You havn't stated specs of your build so I have no idea what you're working with. Also, windows automaticly found my GPU drivers and installed them while I was still working on where to start on a new install. If it hasn't done it for you something is weird. Have you tried running HWInfo or GPU-Z?

Sorry I guess I should’ve started with specs

i7 8700k

ASUS Z390-H motherboard

corsair vengeance  RGB pro ddr4 3000MHz

samsung ssd 860 evo pro

EVGA RTX 2070 

EVGA 750 G2 PSU

Coolermaster MA410P 

 

I guess after I updated windows there was another long one that followed afterwards. So I decided to sleep on it and check on my computer in the morning. By the time I woke up and logged back in the driver appeared on my device manager. So maybe it was the second update that I had with windows.
