How to configure the computer to play games without lagging
With the continuous improvement of game image quality and performance requirements, many players often encounter problems such as freezing and frame drops when playing games. This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to provide you with a detailed analysis of how to configure a high-performance gaming computer to ensure that the game runs smoothly without lags.
1. Core elements of gaming computer configuration

A high-performance gaming computer needs to start with the following core hardware:
| Hardware | Recommended configuration | function |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel i5-12600K / AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | Responsible for game logic and physics calculations, affecting frame rate stability |
| graphics card | NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti / AMD RX 6700 XT | Determines game image quality and frame rate, which is especially important at high resolutions. |
| memory | 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (dual channel) | Ensure smooth gaming and multitasking |
| hard drive | NVMe SSD 512GB or above | Shorten game loading time and improve system response speed |
| power supply | 650W 80+ gold certification | Provide stable power supply for hardware to avoid lagging caused by insufficient power. |
2. Analysis of configuration requirements of popular games
Based on the official recommended configurations of recent popular games (such as "Elden Ring", "Cyberpunk 2077", "Call of Duty: Warzone", etc.), we have compiled the following data:
| Game name | Recommended configuration for 1080P high image quality | 1440P high image quality recommended configuration |
|---|---|---|
| "The Ring of Eldon" | i5-8400 + GTX 1060 + 12GB memory | i7-8700K + RTX 2070 + 16GB memory |
| "Cyberpunk 2077" | i7-4790 + RTX 2060 + 16GB memory | i7-6700 + RTX 3070 + 16GB memory |
| "Call of Duty: Warzone" | i5-2500K + GTX 970 + 12GB memory | i7-4770K + RTX 3060 + 16GB memory |
3. Optimization skills: Combining software and hardware to improve performance
In addition to hardware configuration, software optimization can also significantly improve game fluency:
1.System settings:Close unnecessary background programs and adjust Windows power mode to "High Performance".
2.Graphics card driver:Regularly update NVIDIA/AMD graphics card drivers and enable game mode (such as NVIDIA's DLSS technology).
3.Game settings:Appropriately reduce special effects such as shadows and anti-aliasing, and prioritize ensuring a stable frame rate.
4.Thermal management:Make sure the temperature of the CPU and graphics card is below 80°C. High temperatures will cause slowdown and lag.
4. Configuration plans for different budgets
According to recent e-commerce platform prices (October 2023), the following three configurations are recommended:
| budget | Core configuration | Applicable scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| 5000-6000 yuan | i5-12400F + RTX 3060 + 16GB + 512GB SSD | 1080P mainstream games 60 frames |
| 8000-10000 yuan | i7-12700KF + RTX 3070 Ti + 32GB + 1TB SSD | 2K resolution high quality |
| More than 15,000 yuan | i9-13900K + RTX 4080 + 64GB + 2TB SSD | 4K ultimate image quality + ray tracing |
5. Summary
To completely solve the problem of game lagging, you need to properly match core hardware such as CPU, graphics card, and memory based on specific game needs and budget. At the same time, regular system optimization and driver updates can further improve performance. It is recommended that players refer to the Steam hardware survey data or the game's official recommended configuration before installing the game to avoid waste caused by blind pursuit of top hardware.
