Playing BF1 and downloading while at maximum speed at the same time. A little slowdown. Is it normal

[pcslookout]

My current specs are i7 7700k, 32 GB of ram, GTX 1070, 1920x1200 resolution (upgrading soon), 500 GB SSD with my OS, apps, and games on. 4 TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive with all my download content being downloaded too.

When I say a little slow down I mean in movement in BF1. It like has graphic lag.

It has nothing to do with how powerful your system is,your (and everybody elses) position in the game is being updated in intervals via internet,if your bandwith is being used to download then your upload isn't capable of transmitting your position fast enough.
You can play the crappiest simplest game,if it's online and you run a torrent client at the same time the game will lag like crazy,it's not your normal lag though it's your position not being updated.

Probably network congestion. Make sure QoS is turned on at your router/AP. Google instructions for adding specific applications to the priority list. I was able to cut my gaming latency while downloading/streaming Netflix in half by enabling QoS. The exact steps will depend on the router/AP model

Yeah I had to enable a certain setting on QOS to cut down on the gaming latency. I think it was called fq_codel
