LAG

[ChasingWabbits]

So I have a desktop computer and here is it specs: Processor: Intel i5-4440 @ 3.10GHz, 4 cores; Memory: 8GB; Graphics: GTX 1060 3GB; so I just installed a new 250GB SSD and it seems to be preforming really well but ever since I installed it my games have been really laggy. It shows that I’m still at 60 FPS (idk how accurate it is) but it’s so jittery and laggy and I can’t figure out what the problem is. On task manager none of my components are under much strain. I don’t know if my memory isn’t enough or my CPU isn’t enough. I don’t know what’s bottle necking or anything. Please help

Your computer appears to be robust enough to handle games and you'll need to figure out whether the effect is input or network related.  The jittery usually indicates the computer is doing something or another process in the background and puts the game processing on hold momentarily.  In the Command window using ping and tracert you can see if connection issues prevail or get sudden spikes in net latency (LAN or WAN).  Or your computer might be doing something like HDD/SDD drive optimization or read/writes, Windows app (Defender), Win upgrade, anti-virus scan, adware, etc.    Likely a uselses link but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_lag.  Not sure if you've removed your HDD.  The SDD is lower in capacity and may affected/lowered Windows cache/virtual memory cuasing more read/writes.  Just speculating.

Ok thanks. Yes I removed the HDD and I recently got a new WiFi card. It must be background processes
