    Simply lagging a lot...

    Hi, ive had an Asus X77JA for 1,5 years now. I've been very happy with it, untill i started lagging quite a lot in a simple game as League of Legends. The strange thing is that the laptop has dealt with Skyrim with almost no lag at all.

    I have formated the computer, I have no viruses, my video card drivers are updated, but in a simple game like League of Legends, i lag a lot.
    Yes, its a laptop, and I've had it for 1,5 years, but with these specs i expect it to handle these simple games...

    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 (1 GB)
    Intel Core i5 430M ( Dual-Core )
    4 GB DDR3 SDRAM - 1066 MHz ( 2 x 2 GB )
    500 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 opm
    17.3" TFT 1600 x 900
    Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Edition

    I'm not really good with computers... I'd be happy if someone could think of what could be wrong!

    If you're lagging in League of Legends it's likely being caused by your internet connection.

    Also does your laptop have an integrated graphics card in addition to the HD5730? If so it's possibly switching to that while playing less straining games, and could be causing the slowdown.

    Thanks! I thought that since I have a quite normal ping and latency, my network were fine... But since you told me its probably my network, i ran a system test, and it tells me my Wireless Network Adapter only uses less than 15% of I'ts capasity... Hopefully I'll solve this ;)

    Ouch, I'd never play a MOBA on a wireless connection...anything more than about 60ping and you're going to feel some lag.

    This. World of Tanks is unplayable at anything over 90 ping since there are so many fast tanks in the game.
