How to fix PC game lag issues? Try these tips

Many friends like to play games on their computers, especially those attractive 3A-level masterpieces. However, you may often find that the graphics card performance is not enough, which is also very normal. After all, PC is different from the fixed resolution and locked frame game screen of game consoles, and has more freedom of customization. In fact, through some simple optimization measures, the gaming experience can be made smoother. Let's take a look.

Adjust Graphics Options

If your graphics card is not powerful enough, you need to sacrifice some special effects or lower the resolution to ensure the smoothness of the game. This is the most common solution. In the game's graphics settings, adjust various special effects to the lowest and appropriately lower the resolution, and the game frame rate will often be greatly improved. Of course, the picture may not look beautiful and perfect, but obviously you need to make some trade-offs.

Close background apps

When playing large-scale games, it is best to close other applications running on the computer, as well as some applications that are resident in the background, such as iTunes, Office, etc. You can find these resident items in the Task Manager and close them completely to free up more RAM for the game to call.

Install the latest graphics card driver

Both NVIDIA and AMD will regularly release new graphics card drivers to be compatible with new games and provide better performance, so sometimes new graphics card drivers will also help with game frame rate performance.

A more powerful graphics card

Obviously, the most effective way is to buy a new graphics card. Low-priced models such as NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti or AMD Radeon R7 260X can run most games smoothly at 1080P resolution and 60fps; if you want to get better results, you can consider more powerful models such as GTX 980/980Ti, or even SLI dual graphics card connection.
