Why is the game a laggy shitheap [SOLVED]

Ok that last screen is perfect. You're actually running your memory slower than its capable of.

see here http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-1600MHz- ... B007TTEHUY
and here https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q ... v28uBNUogg

If you look the model number of your memory is KHX1600c10D3/8GX and should be capable of 800mhz which is 1600 DDR3 shown under XMP-1600.

It might give you a little boost in haven but not sure how much.

It also appears your running in single channel mode which might be another bottleneck depending on your motherboard.

Yeah it looks like its running slower than it should. I'm also not sure why its running in single channel.

I'm pretty sure the I5-3570k is capable of dual channel, this could also be a problem.

Oh neat, sounds like some form of progress for once lol

So how do I go about getting it to work at full potential?

You'll have to boot into your BIOS and adjust some settings.

Depending on your motherboard this could be kinda simple to pretty complicated.

Under memory you should see a setting and it should be at 1333, see if you can bump it up to 1600.

If you see a voltage adjustment make sure its at 1.5V.

If for some reason your system cant handle the extra speed It will probably fail to boot and return to the old settings.

Does cpuz say which motherboard you have?

This is the motherboard that I have
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/

Someone in my skype chat also said I might have my ram cards in wrong and that I should put them on colours that match... But mine are all black

Here is a photo of my motherboard

My ram is installed here


He suggested moving one of the cards over to the next available slot

That is probably a really good idea, i'll look at the manual for the motherboard.

Went into BIOS did the fix in this link http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id- ... reme4.html



Still running on single channel but running at 800 instead of 667 now

This is what the manual says. To get dual channel you need to place memory in one slot then skip one and place it in the next one. This may be your issue right here.

Ohhhh shiiiit

Now to switch that over and hope I don't get electrocuted

You have a pretty high end system. Did you build it yourself?

Just make sure the system is switched off at the back or unplugged before you dig into it.

Edit: Looking at the motherboard they really should have colored those memory slots but that would have wrecked that nice black color scheme.
