Slow speed video + running games

[lcrx]

Hello,

heres my pc spec, im not sure if its the correct forum,
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7221312&CatId=4928
the only thing I replaced was this
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicati...ource=EML&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=CANLET
im running the last windows patch and driver for everything direct x , 3d card

I used to run games like skyrim or team fortress, with decent definition with no lag , now I cant even run it, its very slow, cant even play it, even when watching streaming video online, its lagging out
I have the minimum program running in backgroup, I recently did a format, I try to keep it simple on it , most settings on performance

Any idea how to improve this ? Id like to play games and run them smooth, my budjet is a bit limited and my skills
Any guides or ideas programs, what to do, or hardware to replace, cheap scenario prefered, I still want to keep it

Thanks a lot

That helps a lot

1.) Please download the latest graphic drivers from here:

Desktop

2.) Your power setting is set to power saver. This can slow down performance. I suggest setting it to maximum performance.

Click rb: type power in the search box. Click power options. Choose High performance. (You may need to click the chevron down arrow under hide additional plans to see it.)

3.) Restart

the 3 steps are done, hard to say if theres a difference

Hmmm, so nothing has improved? And you stated these games ran fine before?

You could see if maybe the settings got turned up higher in the game accidentally somehow. Try setting the graphics lower in the games settings.

I see your MB temp is at 44c. Quite hot from my experience since MBs shouldn't get too hot. Your CPU temp is only at 23. I recommend you open up your desktop and do some dust cleaning maintenance.

Ive dusted the inside of the PC , with an airspray, I play with the lowest resolution and graphic while gaming, still a bit laggy with the fps

Any other idea what to do ?

These games ran fine before in the past?

If not, it could be your video card is to weak to run them.

You might also want to check your video card settings, typically found in the amd panel. Make sure it is at maximum performance.

You have a low profile card, so I would not expect much.
