Re: Comparing bare-bones Win7 vs 10 install

This applies to 7, 10? (And which builds, if it matters?) Can't guarantee it for 7 (tested on Windows 10 only), but knowing what I do, I'm pretty sure the OS version/build shouldn't matter here; if G-SYNC borderless/windowed mode bypasses Aero/DWM composition by forcing an alt flip mode at the GPU ...

Re: Comparing bare-bones Win7 vs 10 install

I ment that Windows 10 has forced DWM V-sync, and in any case 1 frame of delay when using Gsync (full) windowed. FYI, my tests have shown that DWM may indeed not introduce 1 frame of lag in borderless or windowed mode with G-SYNC active: https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-an...

Re: Comparing bare-bones Win7 vs 10 install

If anyone is willing to do these kinds of tests in such depth, I'm interested in poring over those charts. I would if i had the tools. 'I fast reaction' could volunteer, he seems to have it all covered. If he is willing of course. I think QuakeWorld can be a good game to make these tests. It has a ...

Re: Comparing bare-bones Win7 vs 10 install

For how you should do the input lag test, i will leave that answer to Chief or someone else. This is not placebo. Please do not pass these things off as placebo where it's obvious a person has gone to the effort to create two test environments and can very well feel the difference between the two. ...

Re: Comparing bare-bones Win7 vs 10 install

barebones win7 is more responsive than even a stripped 1809 LTSC win10 1809 currently has some stupid new timer functionality, here is what you should do to fix it + responsiveness. might worsen latency on ryzen: hpet disabled in bios bcdedit /set useplatformclock true bcdedit /set disabledynamicti...

Re: Frame stuttering in most games.

You should fix (or try to minimize) frametime spikes/stuttering at the core level rather than using G-sync/V-sync/framecapping to compensate. Factors which should be applied to an already optimized situation, which clearly it doesn't sound like it to me. Too many people just try to apply these techn...

Comparing bare-bones Win7 vs 10 install

Been running two barebone Windows installations for a while now and doing all kinds of testing. Stripping then off useless junk and/or disabling whatever possible can be disabled without affecting said games. (just for sake of consistency and no useless background stuff going on) I can sense the dif...

Re: [App (Win32/64)] Display Input Lag Tester (no hardware r

I was thinking the same thing, as I've done my own little 'testing' with my keyboard (Corsair 1000hz polling) and 240hz Iphone cam. Up until the point that I realised, are the *lock LED's actually switching/refreshing at 1000hz? From my recordings, it seems like the *lock LED's go on and off gradual...

Re: Blur Buster's G-SYNC 101 Series Discussion

Hi, I read whole article about GSYNC and at the conclusion there is statement that best settings are: GSYNC+VSYNC ON and limit fps. I'd like to ask why should i even bother enabling vsync when it will never engage if the limit is below max refresh rate? Am i missing something? G-sync and V-sync und...

Re: Blur Buster's G-SYNC 101 Series Discussion

I actually used a -2 fps limit across the board in all those tests. I simply came to the conclusion that the absolute safe minimum would be -3, but this could vary with certain in-game limiters, that can fluctuate like crazy. -2 in most instances is perfectly safe regardless. As for G-SYNC borderle...
