I'm feeling the lag is as a result of my GPU as I get 99% utilization on the games that lag immensely (M&B ) while in ArmA3 it stays at around 50-60% (Worth noting ArmA3 is CPU heavy) My performance seemed clear with 3D mark's firestrike below average comparing it to other builds in my range. I've run 3D Mark and a CPU stress test (aswell as SSD test) on behalf of my friends to see if anything was wrong.

I can play ArmA3 excellent with 40-50 FPS (very good for that game) without much dipping. Now it's worth noting my performance is all over the show. Hard drive & SSD are old with hard drive at 5300 RPM.(Forgot the make but I can look it up if it's important) I just got a new PC using old parts, trying to run games I didn't seemingly had a problem with in the past now seems to run horrible. Rome 2 same story, 15-18 FPS on the campaign map, steady~ 28 in battles.Ītilla seemed better with 30~ FPS in campaign map.

I'm getting absolutely horrible FPS in games such as Mount & Blade and Total War (Rome 2 & Atilla)ġ8 FPS in M&B in the campaign map while zoomed. This time I decided to wait a week doing my own research and asking friends for help before coming here but I'm genuinely clueless. So I've been posting here a lot quite recently and I appreciate the help but the other times I figured out what was wrong myself not long after.
