I recently built a new pc. My fps is fine and everything, but on certain servers my ping will jump to 360ish and stay there. I've noticed that on servers that are less demanding in terms of fps (i.e. surf, jump, mge, empty dm servers) my ping will be fine. But on servers that are more fps-demanding (full dm servers, pubs, scrims), my ping will usually jump. I also used to run tf2 at the lowest settings possible on my old laptop and I never had this issue.
I'm on wired internet, but I live in a dorm so bandwidth might (?) be the issue. Anything I can do to fix this?

When the problem is happening try to ping to the server on your laptop, or any other device, and see if your ping is similar. If it is then it's not your computer, it's your ISP or bad routing. To ping to a server type "ping IP" in cmd.
