I'm using a Windows 11 HP Z4 G4 Workstation with 32GB of RAM, but I'm experiencing significant lag while playing lighter games like Hollow Knight and Lego Incredibles. I have an NVIDIA NVS 310 graphics card, which seems outdated. Can anyone suggest why this is happening or what I could do to improve performance?

Your NVIDIA NVS 310 is really an old office graphics card. It's not designed for gaming, which is likely why even simple games are lagging. If you're looking for smooth gameplay, you should upgrade to a more recent GPU designed for gaming. Something like an NVIDIA GTX 1650 or an AMD RX 450 would do wonders for your performance!
Honestly, the NVS 310 isn't going to cut it for gaming. It's nearly 15 years old and mostly meant for office tasks. Even light games can struggle. To get a decent experience, you should consider upgrading to a graphics card that's been released in the last few years; it’ll make a huge difference!
Thanks for clarifying! I didn't realize my card was that outdated. I'll definitely look into getting a new one.
