Re: Potential HD Mouse Extensions API Specification [ETA by 2025]

Yeah, the Meltdown/Spectre mitigation stuff was bad for jitter/latency. It's part of why I'm a fan of timestamping at the mouse sensor level, to allow the software to have the choice to dejitter mouse samples. Some of us prioritize on smoothness. Will the mitigations still need to be applied on Roc...

Re: Optimization Hub for beginners

Great guide. The more I dig, the deeper I realize the PC optimization rabbit hole goes. It totally makes sense as a logical progression of optimizing your gaming performance, especially given the incredible stakes of professional eSports gaming. For those who think this is niche and unneeded - all I...

Re: Frame time differences between NVidia and AMD?

It's true AMD performs better than NVIDIA in some metrics important to certain people/industries. To make a statement like that you must have some insight about what aspects AMD is superior in? And of course I'm not talking about FPS/Frametime benchmark that every reviewer and their mother can give...
