New monitor, PC lags badly
I recently got a new Samsung monitor and since then my PC lags as sh*t, it works worse than my 10 year old PC. First I thought its because of the graphics card but isn't 2 GB DDR3 enough for a full HD resolution?
Even internet browsing lags, scrolling is not smooth even on the lighter sites. In games I get about 25 FPS less and lag spikes in games. My PC specs are:
CPU: Intel Celeron Dual Core E3400 2.6 GHZ
Motherboard: ASUS P5G41T-M LX3
RAM: 4 GB (2x2)
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD6670 2GB DDR3
I don't think the other components matter.
And I saw that my GPU is used up to 80% when not playing games, just browsing the web or searching something, I can't even watch a 720p video on Youtube, I have to set to 480p to watch it without lag.
Btw I use Firefox.
I had an ASUS monitor 1366x768 and now I have SAMSUNG 1920x1080.
I will reinstall windows soon but I don't think that would be a problem.
Any ideas? Is the resolution the problem?
Excuse my English.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
