Solve : Games lag after a while?

1.	Solve : Games lag after a while?
Answer» Hi all, so I have an issue here, games lag after a while in my GTX 480 previously, and also resolution cant go up to 1280x720. Now, I use my gt 430, I have a game called GTA 4. it's running ok and the screen resolution goes to 1360x768, but when i turn it up, the resolution goes to 1280x720, yet the text looks smaller. Anyways, GTA IV runs ok but after 30 minutes, the game STUTTERS. I still don't get how the PC possibly bottlenecks somewhat by itself, maybe.... My SPECS: Intel core i7, GT 430, 8 GB RAM, h61m-p35 (ms-7680), Power up ATX 650w. Thanks. -Aryoseno11Even though this is almost a month old... going to answer to this one... The GT430 is far weaker than the GTX480. I have the GT430 in one of my systems and its a $40 video card which is ok, but not a GTX480, the one I have has a thin heatsink and small cooling fan and has run PRETTY hot, so I had to add more airflow to the heatsink/fan of the GPU and now it runs at around 57C when gaming and 32C idle.Quote from: DaveLembke on June 25, 2014, 05:00:00 PM Even though this is almost a month old... going to answer to this one...

I have the GT430 in one of my systems and its a $40 video card which is ok, but not a GTX480, the one I have has a thin heatsink and small cooling fan and has run pretty hot, so I had to add more airflow to the heatsink/fan of the GPU and now it runs at around 57C when gaming and 32C idle. Yeah...i was thinking why WOULD you use the gt when you have gtx480. I have a gtx460 and GTA IV runs fine without any of the issue you are experiencing. The 480 is a high end card in its class so you should use thatI have the same problem, my GTX 480 which is supposed to be a far superior card lags in Windows 8 games, particularly asphalt 8, which has just basic graphics and my ATi 4850 which is a much cheaper card runs them smoothly and flawlessly. Feels like I just wasted all this money on a GTX 480. Help anyone.I have the same issue im playing warlords of draenor and aion, just at this two games, when i play minecraft or runescape is fine You should absolutely be using 64bit windows 7. Reinstall that. You can use the same licence code for 32 and 64bit. Also check if you have a memory leak. Once it starts to lag, open up task manager and see how much RAM is being utilized. Run MemTest86+ for 24 hours and see if your RAM faults. Last, don't forget to update your driver. GTA IV is a PORT for PC , also called as "The worst PC port ever" Its a console game which is poorly optimized for PC , no matter how good GPU you have , it will run badly btw gt430 in comparison to 480 is like rey mysterio vs big show I hve 660ti & still it STUTTERED so i uninstalled note :- Lag & stutter are differentthis video fixed it for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8B4R6xddy8
