PSA: ASUS Gamefirst III = Ping spikes
Yeah i remember this one from some years back.. Lower ping ! Increase your fps ! Maximum stability ! Superspeed !
All games started suddenly lagging..
If you have been experiencing ping spikes and lag recently and you have an ASUS PC, the Gamefirst III utility is the likely culprit. I ran into this problem on my brand new PC myself, and after a long search I stumbled upon people having the same issue with numerous online games, including HotS and Overwatch (I don’t play those, so I can’t rightly say).
The utility runs in the background by default, you have to disable it (or uninstall it, it’s not important). I did it, and the ping spikes disappeared instantly.
Hello I have a brand new PC too with ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming motherboard but I cannot find this Gamefirst utility anywhere. Is there something I am doing wrong? Where should I look to find it and uninstall it? I am using Windows 10 64 bit.
Seek and you shall find

Well, first off, if you’re not experiencing any huge ping spikes, I wouldn’t recommend doing anything at all. But if you do and you’re sure it’s not your ISP’s fault, you can find it by clicking on the Search Windows icon in the taskbar and entering “Gamefirst”. If it doesn’t show up, then you don’t have it.
