You might be getting some harsh 0.1% lows and minimums.
That's the first thing I'd check as averages don't tell the full story.

Some great answers!
It's definitely not Core Parking as mine are unparked (at least the one you can check in resource monitor, parkcontrol).
It does seem like another power saving technique is being disabled when this stress test runs like schizobeyondpills/Chief mentioned.

It may be useful to ...

Hello all. :D

This forum was quite helpful in my quest for competitive gaming, low input lag, high FPS, and smoothness in the past. I've decided to drop my own compiled research for anyone interested, as knowledge is best shared!

This project started out with a couple of friends after we got ...

I found an interesting behavior, if you run a CPU stress test such as Aida64, your DPC latency goes down significantly.
On my system it goes from 0.27 > 0.16.
Not all stress tests do this, I've only found Aida64 and HeavyLoad to have this behavior.

Anyone have a good idea or explanation of why ...

I believe that I understand your question from the second part of your post.
For CS:GO specifically, I feel that it would likely be easy to get a stable high framerate in this title. It's an old eSports game and even runs at a stable high framerate on my PC which is over 10 years old. So if your ...

Some quick notes as I don't have the time to go into detail right now.

1. Yes the guide is big but you don't really need to read most of it. The [Step by step] section covers everything you need and it's a 15 step process that takes an hour or two after a fresh OS install at most. It's not time ...

you seriously use useplatformtick yes + 0.5ms timer in 2023??
and msi afterberner adds dpc latency on lastest nvidia drivers, use reg tweak for lock freq.
anyway, thanks for this.


No difference on my system between afterburner on/off. I tested many times with longer time frames than 6-7 ...
