Lag spikes, slow driving

[roxie]

Greetings,

So i came back recently to playing on the server and ive always had this problem. I lag quit a bit when driving and sometimes have lag spikes. My CPU is intel i5 4670 Quad-Core, 8GB of RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660; Windows 7.

Please help me friendly people!!
Thanks in advance.

Everyone has lag spikes every once in a while, most likely it's your ping not the fps. Check your internet speed and ping Germany on speedtest.net

I have sort of the same issue, however mine is related to ping, on Gmod my ping, for some unknown reason sits at 100-200 MS, whereas on other online games, it sits at 10-20 MS. FPS wise, I usually sit on 30-40 FPS nowadays, but it's the ping what kills me.

I checked my ping on a Frankfurt server and it says around 50ms

Choose the server closest to you.

Generally, if you get ping spikes, make sure you're not on wifi. WiFi usually causes this and especially ISP provided bullshit.

The server closest to me (Portugal) has 8-10ms ping,
