Hello guys,
I have a fairly old system (AMD Phenom X6 1055T, 16GB DDR3 1333Mhz, 650 PSU) and have recently upgraded my graphics card to an Asus Strix GTX 950. I was testing out my FPS on the game Dota 2 and noticed I was always capped at around 60-65 and in certain frames where there's a lot going on, it would drop down to 40. This was bugging the hell out of me and I tried everything I could think of, however the issue was still occurring. Even when I lowered the graphics settings, in big team fights where there's a lot of movement/animation, the FPS would just significantly drop making it extremely noticeable.
While I was in a game, I started lagging all of a sudden and it was every couple minutes or so. I decided to switch my connection my 5GHz AP and all of a sudden, the FPS jumped up to 80-85 and hovered around 65-70 in big team fights. This was a pretty significant jump to me and I'm starting to wonder if the Internet connection was bottle necking my graphics card. Initially, I thought the CPU was bottlenecking it and I believe it still does, however not to the extent of what was happening.
Has anyone ever experienced something like this before? I always thought Internet connection would have to do with latency and lag and never in a million years would I think it can affect my graphics card performance in such a manner.
