How to help make computer games lag less

If you don't have a top notch gaming rig, but like to play computer games, than I am sure that you have experienced lag. There are 2 types of lag, network lag and the system lag. Today I am talking about system lag. Keep in mind that these solutions are not going to eliminate lag. They will make a difference though.

1. The first thing to do is download gamebooster by IObit. What it does is closes all programs not related to the game. For a lot of games that can significantly improve performance. You can download it here.

2. This one might seem kind of obvious, but it helps. You should turn down the settings of games. This helps a lot with games that require a lot of graphical power. The game won't look as good, but its bettter than the game lagging.

3. Check for maleware and viruses. You might not even suspect that you have one. Even if you have the best computer in the world a virus could have your computer lagging. Most of the time this is fixable though. You should try AVG antivirus. You can get it here.

4. Sometimes your computer can be slow if you have a lot of garbage on your hard drive. One thing you should do is download ccleaner. What it does is gets rid of crap that's simply not needed like tempory Internet files or what's left in the recycling bin. Don't worry about it deleting anything important because you chose exactly what to clean. You can get it 

5. I leave this one last because I don't really like it. Have you ever wondered if all the little details on windows ever affected performance? By details I mean like icon outlines, clear looking text, and other small things like that. They do affect your system negatively. They just make the computer look better. To disable them go to your control panel, click on system and security, click on system, go to advanced system settings, click on performance settings, then select adjust for best performance. At first you will think wow my computer looks like crap, but you will get used to it.

All of these methods combined will make a difference. Like I said they are not miracles for most people, if your computer is not meant for gaming it just wont be optimal, but if you really like to play games on a low budget, then these are pretty good ways to increase performance for your games.
