First, let us understand the causes of Lags. This way you can identify the solution I’m suggesting will benefit you.
LAG CAUSED BY GAME (30%)

To address lag issues we have to address the Latency and your Ping. Latency is the delay (ping time) in milliseconds that it takes the signal to travel to the game server and back. The lower the number the better, but you'll definitely want a ping time of under 120ms (millisecond) or you'll have major problems with online gaming. Ideally you want less than 75ms ping to the gaming server. |
Qualcomm Atheros, a leading provider of wireless and wired technologies for the mobile, networking, computing and consumer electronics markets has developed the Killer network adapter (LAN) and can be found on certain motherboards and gaming laptops to improve gaming experience and video streaming performance.
The chip in question is the Killer E2200 which features a number of improvements over its predecessor, the E2100. For example, the E2200 has driver support for Windows 8 and Linux. MSI, a leading innovator and PC manufacturer has worked with Qualcomm Atheros to integrate Killer network chips in its gaming portfolio as well as a software package that allows users to choose which data packets get priority.
MSI GS60 Ghost uses the Killer E2200 LAN that offers superior performance for all online applications through Killer’s exclusive Advanced Stream Detect technology, which identifies and prioritizes all network traffic of whatever application the user is currently using. This ensures important applications that require high-speed connectivity, such as online games and video chat, get priority over less important traffic, such as incoming email or system updates.
