[idk where else to go. i guess i could go to tom's hardware forums or w/e but im too lazy. also know this is wrong forum i just look at c&g a lot]
My laptop with barely anything, not a gaming laptop, can run Roblox 100x better than my gaming PC with a GTX 760 and some other stuff. My question is how is this even possible? A laptop with no specs at all runs better than my gaming pc with multiple specs?
I mean, when I go into a game it will run smooth for like a good 6 seconds, but out of nowhere it will lag spike for a span of 2-3 seconds. So every 6 seconds I have a lag spike that lasts 2-3 seconds. On my laptop everything runs smoothly. |

you could be using an nvidia or amd gpu aswell
drivers mean a lot
As for RUST, we promise we're gonna do better and act better. We're gonna prove to the clan world we're a disgraceful clan anymore. |

Do you use Ethernet or wireless internet? (This probably isn't the problem, but just checking)

| Use Malwarebytes on your gaming pc and make sure there isn't anything slowing it down. Also, your CPU might be bottlenecking it or you might not have enough RAM. |

I'd need specs for both computers, as one is obviously part-wise superior to the other.
Do include internet setups as well.
What it probably is:
Laptop has faster/more RAM Laptop has better CPU with more threads and/or faster speed overall Laptop is on Ethernet over wireless Laptop has ROBLOX installed on SSD, PC has it on HDD
Probably those 4

is your computer *using* your graphics card instead of intel hd4000000 on your desktop
and is your monitor plugged into the graphics card? not the motherboard |

@"Which laptop did you get first?"
Not really sure. Have had both for a while.
@"could be a ton of things
what is ur cpu, gpu, ssd/hdd, ram
you could be on win 10 win 7
you could be using an nvidia or amd gpu aswell
drivers mean a lot"
using windows 10. 8 gb of ram. 4.10 ghz
using nvidia graphics card gtx 760
@"Do you use Ethernet or wireless internet?"
ethernet
P.S: This all started happening to me when my PC completely died for a few weeks and wouldn't turn on. I had to do some stuff to get it back on, completely reinstalled Windows 10 cleanly and started from there. I downloaded a few things, got the lag spikes, uninstalled them, but still have the lag spikes. |

I'm going to figure out how to do a factory reset and go from there. Thanks for all of the replies. I read them all thoroughly and will refer back to this thread if I have any questions or need any more suggestions.
I'd rather just take the easier way out then to possibly destroy my computer even more.
I'll compare my laptop and PC specs, check to see where the monitor is plugged in at, etc. If anyone wants to help me any further just message me. I don't want to get this to be a big thread.
Thanks again everyone. |

uhhh
don't do a factory reset until you back up all your files lol
that will wipe everything, including all pictures, music files, etc.
