Recently, the problem of game lag has become a hot topic among players. This article combines the hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to sort out the reasons and solutions for computer game lag, and presents it in structured data to help you quickly improve your gaming experience.
1. Statistics on lagging issues in popular games (last 10 days)

| Game name | Proportion of lag complaints | Main problem scenario |
|---|---|---|
| "Original God" | 32% | Frame drops in the Xumi City scene |
| "Eternal Calamity" | 28% | Frame rate drops sharply in multiplayer team battles |
| 《CS2》 | 19% | Smoke bomb special effects lag |
| "The Ring of Eldon" | 15% | Open map loading delay |
| Others | 6% | Driver compatibility issues |
2. Hardware performance standard reference table
| Game quality | CPU requirements | Graphics card requirements | memory requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080P low quality | i5-9400F | GTX 1650 | 8GB |
| 1080P high quality | i7-10700K | RTX 2060 | 16GB |
| 2K ultimate picture quality | i9-12900K | RTX 3080 | 32GB |
3. Five core solutions
1. Hardware performance optimization
• Update the graphics card driver to the latest version (download from NVIDIA/AMD official website)
• Close background heavy-duty programs through Task Manager
• Increase virtual memory: It is recommended to set it to 1.5-2 times the physical memory
2. Game settings adjustment
• Reduce the level of special effects: turn off advanced special effects such as anti-aliasing and volumetric fog
• Limit maximum frame rate: set to 1.2x monitor refresh rate
• Enable DLSS/FSR technology: N card uses DLSS, A card uses FSR
3. System optimization plan
• Change power mode to "High Performance"
• Disable Game Bar and background recording functionality
• Perform disk cleanup (win+R enter cleanmgr)
4. Network acceleration techniques
• Use a wired connection instead of WiFi
• Set QoS to prioritize gaming traffic on the router
• Turn off Windows Automatic Update Service
5. Advanced optimization plan
• Overclocking CPU/GPU (pay attention to heat dissipation)
• Replace silicone grease to improve heat dissipation efficiency
• Defragment game files
4. Upgrade plans with different budgets
| budget range | Recommended upgrade parts | Performance improvements |
|---|---|---|
| Within 500 yuan | Install additional 8GB memory | Multitasking +15% |
| 1000-2000 yuan | Upgrade RTX 3050 graphics card | Frame rate +40% |
| More than 3,000 yuan | Replace i5-13600KF+ motherboard | Overall +60% |
5. Recommended recent popular optimization tools
According to the popularity of discussions in the Steam community, the usage rate of the following tools has increased significantly in the past 10 days:
| Tool name | Main functions | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| MSI Afterburner | Graphics card overclocking/monitoring | Frame rate unstable |
| Process Lasso | CPU core optimization | Open more lags |
| Winaero Tweaker | System service management | Too many background programs |
Through the above structured solutions, more than 90% of game lagging problems can be significantly improved. It is recommended to try the software optimization solution first, and then consider hardware upgrades based on actual needs. If the problem is still not resolved, it may be an optimization problem of a specific game. It is recommended to pay attention to the official patch update.
