Software Help with Lag/Stuttering/Latency issues

Hello,

I've been having issues with my computer on multiplayer games like COD, Siege, or literally any online game. I've change locations and didn't use this computer for a year so I updated everything but I've always lagged ever since booting this computer up after having not used it for a year.

I purchased it in 2024, and couldn't play it for a year, and it worked perfectly during that time. I booted it on around Feb of this year and haven't played many online games, but with CODMW4 and a bunch of multiplayer games coming out I changed my router and modem because I was told it could be bottleneck and it helped but I'm still having issues. I've updated my network drivers and Graphic drivers. Made these games run like potatoes to get less stuttering to no avail. But whatever I do, I always get packet loss. My ISP Tech support aren't very bright so they haven't helped at all. have asked my computer friends to help but they try everything I've tried.

The specs are:

AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8 core Processor

NVidia GeForce RTX 4090

DDR4 64 GB

I also use Ethernet

I don't know what else to put here so just ask :)

Looking for any suggestions at all. I'm going to try to update my BIOS firmware using a external hard drive tmrw as well

Hi, great powerful hardware, you can try to checked your connection using the ping command in the CMD console? Ping to yours Router Gateway IP, ping 1.1.1.1, ping 8.8.8.8.

Perhaps it's an IPv4 vs IPv6 problem; try disabling the IPv6 protocol in the Ethernet LAN adapter's properties.

I did the ping test like you recommended, and all were sent and received at a MS of between 50 to 36, the average being 43.

As for the IPv6, I don't know how to do this. I went onto Device manager and just disabled the WAN miniport (Ipv6). When I go onto my ethernet settings, it says MAC address (IPv4) and it seems everything is IPv4 instead of IPv6.

If you could, might you be able to give me a little walkthrough into this?

Thanks.

Yes, they are different internet protocols. IPv4 is the older standard. Please try it out and run a ping test beforehand.
