I am looking to upgrade my computer and have gotten a lot of feedback from other sites. I wanted to get input from here as this is the game I play the most.

Here are my current specs for my computer:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
  • Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
  • Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard
  • G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory - x2
  • Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
  • Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive
  • Samsung 870 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive - x2
  • EVGA FTW3 ULTRA GAMING LE iCX3 GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12 GB Video Card
  • Corsair iCUE 5000X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case
  • EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 T2 1000 W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
  • Microsoft Windows 11 Home OEM - DVD 64-bit
  • Corsair LL120 43.25 CFM 120 mm Fan - x4
  • MSI Optix G273QF 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Monitor

If you have any recommendations for upgrades, please let me know. My bio’s is currently the latest version. When I enable DOCP in the bios menu, my computer likes to turn itself on and off repeatedly until I switch it off. The upgrades I have been recommended already are the following:

  • G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory - x2
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D 3 GHz 8-Core Processor

If I upgrade the processor, should I get a new AIO? if so would this one be good to change it to?

  • Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT 65.57 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Your computer is fine. Lag is not always a hardware issue or even an issue on your side. You can verify that by looking at task manager and seeing if any component is at 100% while another is very low showing a bottleneck. As long as your RAM isn’t at 100% usage leaving no room for more, it would do little if you increased it.

You should test on optimized servers like the FiveM test server or one of the featured servers that don’t have 180 gigabits of unoptimized assets streaming.

It could also be network lag from your side or from the server. Either bad ping or just not enough or rapidly shifting bandwidth/speed.

My CPU and ram are usually at 89-99% when I run fivem. Would this be an issue or is that normal?

What servers you are paying on make a big difference. Without knowing what servers you are testing on, it’s hard to help. As well as if you are on the same continent the server is.

I play on Unity RP, which is a pretty optimized server, in my opinion. Only recently have I been experiencing lag and only one thing that we know of is a tab bit too high in resource allocation but it should be making me do this much lagging according to the server owner
