Aurora R11, GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. COD Warzone Issue

I'm Not very familiar with PC Tech so any advice that would be detailed would be very helpful. 

My Issue is every about this computer works great, I play numerous games with no issues whatsoever. My only problem seems to be on Call of Duty Games. Specifically Warzone and Vanguard (Mostly Warzone). I Have good FPS (around 150) consistently but whenever I start shooting at other players and am in a shooting battle it gets crazy laggy without FPS loss and basically unplayable. Once it happens it keeps happening off and on every 5 or so minutes unless I completely restart the whole game. Then the same process happens. I'm not sure if its my COD Settings or my Nvidia settings. I have 16gb memory and a 1tb HDD and I'm adding a 2tb m.2 NVME SSD soon (I'm pretty sure that wont fix this problem).

I've tried numerous settings from YouTube and whatever else I can figure out. If anyone has any insight on why this happens please let me know. I'm also hardwired into the modem directly So I don't believe it is an internet issue.

    AldousHuxley20,


    Have you updated all drivers/BIOS?

    Check your system temperatures. It sounds like your system is throttling due to overheating. If you're temps are extremely high, you need to check your CPU cooling fan / heatsink / water block and your GPU cooling fans. It could be that they are either not working or loose (no thermal conductivity).

    Use the Alienware Command Center to see your GPU / CPU temperatures.

    When I'm not playing anything my Temps are CPU 39 C and GPU 48 C. While running in game warzone the GPU doesn't go above 67C. from what I can tell those are normal. So I don't think that is the issue. I appreciate the suggestion.

    Typically when you start shooting in a FPS, that’s usually the CPU.


    Is the 16GB single or dual channel?

    What speed is the RAM?

    Latest graphics drivers?

    What resolution is your monitor?

    Have you tried capping the refresh rate to 60Hz just to see if it clears up?

    What graphics preset are you running in the game?

    What do you have running in the background?

    Have you brought task manager to see how much RAM is available before the game starts?

    Have you tried temporarily disabling your Antivirus software to see if it clears up?

    CPU bottleneck is what I am thinking also. Typically with more and more people around frame rates drop down as CPU's become bogged down.

    It could be the game is poorly optimized, or does not like a certain driver version or driver setting.

    What's the best way to fix this? Would adding more Ram to the 16gb work? I cant imagine Discord being the reason, it may be part but has to be more.

    I would try and remove Discord from the equation to see if that helps. Since this is an Activision game you need Battle.net

    You can CAP your framerate/refresh to 60Hz in the game settings. I would also try that to see if it smooths things out.

    I ran Some more tests and It does In fact seem to be the CPU Bottlenecking. While warzone is running the CPU jumps from 70% to 90% and hit 100% a few times, even with very minimal programs running. My memory Usage also hits pretty high could that also have anything to do with it or no? It seems that overclocking may be the best route, any help with the best route would be helpful.

    Not sure how you ended up with a spinning-platter HDD in a nice Aurora-R11 with 16gb ram and a GTX-2070 ...

    ... however, you should be running your Windows, all apps, and these few favorite games of yours all from a SSD.

    Hard to say what kind of lagging and performance issues your system will have, running everything from an old-school HDD (talk about bottlenecks).
