Abstract: When you’ve been playing with bad specs all your life, causing you to feel like you’re framing and lagging even when you got a good PC.
Lag PTSD is the mental state of feeling like your PC is performing bad, when it is performing perfectly fine. As the name suggests, this condition is caused when a person has played or watched media all their life with a bad PC. This causes them to frame and lag frequently, and them having a less than average time gaming. Then, after they got used to their PC’s bad performance, when they get an actually good PC they continue to feel like they’re lagging and framing, even if the PC is tearing through the game at QHD 144+ FPS.
One of the more versatile solution to countering this is to have the game’s performance tab open. Seeing the frame counter at a stable and desired number can quell any feelings of lag and framing. Additionally, if this condition takes the variant of only occurring in retrospect, remind yourself that you can likely play Cyberpunk at 60 FPS+.
Lag PTSD can be caused by having less than 60 FPS on even the lightest of games at minimum graphics settings.
