OK...I just built a new computer, and whenever I am playing video games while on ventrilo, it causes my game to lag. It only happens when people talk in ventrilo but if people are not talking its smooth. I thought it may be the sound card but it isnt because I bought a brand new one and it continues to lag. Anyone have any ideas about what may be causing this? :( PLZ HELP
 
i always lag when someone sends a msg to me in msn, i dont think u can do anything about it, what are your pc specs?
 
wow, if its not ur internet connection then i dont kno wut it is. u have nice specs for ur system, i see no reason for it to lag.
 
AMD 3800+
OCZ Gold 1GB Ram
Seagate 160 gb hd
ATI radeon 700x pro
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SB0232 Sound Card
ASrock 939 duel sata 2 MB
 
IF you run CPUZ it will show that when you run ventrillo even with a good computer is uses 20 percent of your CPU, thats why it lags.
 
ur lagginess has nothing to do with ur computer specs. its ur internet speed that needs attention.

I have used 3 different computers on the same router and none have done this. Also i might add that even when im not playing online, such as LAN or if i just create a server to mess around on in source..vent will still lag the computer when people talk. Thx for the suggestion tho, i still really appreciate it
 
Actually vent is starting to get known for that. Lets just wait for a new update. Anything that connects to internet will lag yoour internet when playing games. ALso games somtimes have lag spikes.
