Nice topic, OP!
I noticed the same issue and did some testing with OpenWRT (Cake QoS, traffic control, and so forth).

Some observations:

1) Here, using Cake QoS and having some load, I get lower latency (by about 2 ms) compared to when the connection is idle. It's probably due to power saving on ...

1) Did you add this resolution using CRU, or was it there by default?
2) Have you tested if the same thing happens at 1440×900?
3) Have you checked the latency markers with AMD FRM, NVIDIA Frameview or something like that?
4) Can you do some runs in humanbench.com to check if the difference is ...

You can check if it's enabled or not using dxdiag and then saving the report into a text file. Search for MPO; if it shows 1 with a short block code after that, it's because it's disabled. If multi-panel is 4 and has a lot of lines after that, then it's enabled.

Mine is disabled by default (did no ...

Do you mind sharing how you were able to detect that in WPA? I tried before but had a hard time figuring out what was blocking it. I don't know how to trace the mouse event subscribers.

In my opinion, this one is a placebo, or at least I was not affected by the bug it tries to fix. There was no change in the mouse feeling and no change in the numbers (reflex latency, FPS, 1% low, etc.). I also tried human benchmark and it was on my average.

It's the first time in years that something new has come out and been well received. Curious to test this later.

What mayh justify this? Some background process listening for events to check if something has changed, like brightness or something like that?

Advice:

1) Forget about interrupts/IRQs/priorities and focus on disk access, including writing and reading speeds and latency.
2) SSDs become extremely slow when the disk is full (70% or more). Ensure this is not the case here.
3) Run a disk benchmark and ensure that your values are on par with ...

Look at individual core usage with perfmon.

For instance I tested SpecialK a few years ago in black mesa (~hl.2) using 9700k and it was a flat line.

Some possible reasons:

1) Game trying to use a busy CPU thread. RGB software, scheduled tasks, buggy drivers, and other things could be causing load spikes in your core. Most are so fast that you hardly notice them in Afterburner but feel them. You can check it using Perfmon and the per-process CPU ...
