Hi everybody, well my PC is definitely not doing so well. Everytime when I am playing video games on it, it will play normal and then it will lag for a short period and then play as normal again. And this pattern keeps repeating itself. With lag I mean lower FPS. It doens't matter which video game I play or how low the settings are it will happen everytime. It has now even happened to Kotor, so it has crossed the line so to speak
Anyway I was looking to get some advice from you guys. My pc is 6 years old so the years are beginning to count. I think the problems lies with the graphics card which is now almost 4 years old, anyways here are my specs:
