I've noticed Timer Resolution will read 0.497 ms with 'bcdedit /set useplatformtick no' instead of 0.5 ms.
Researching various threads here some have suggested that using 'bcdedit /set useplatformtick yes' will always lock in Timer Resolution to 0.5 ms - that being said this may not be favorable due possible inherit input latency that I've observed firsthand and agree the system is just not as snappy and responsive when it's at 0.497 ms vs 0.5 ms.

My question is, sometimes on first boots / reboots, timer resolution will read 0.5 ms correctly without using useplatformtick set to yes. I cannot pinpoint how this happens or if it's a timing thing when Timer Resolution is run...?
Is there a 100% method/way to consistently get 0.5 ms instead of getting 0.497 ms (without using useplatformtick yes) ?

Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
I would also like to know, if anything under the max. supported timer resolution of 0.5ms causes any problems.
In Win11 for example, there seems to be fixed & I constantly get 0.5ms. Why is it messed up in Win10 then?

Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
I donot remember where i saw this but someone recommended testing both
bcdedit /set tscsyncpolicy enhanced
bcdedit /set tscsyncpolicy legacy
that one of them gave him a consistent 0.5 try them out and see if it helps
bcdedit /set tscsyncpolicy enhanced
bcdedit /set tscsyncpolicy legacy

Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
Thanks for the suggestions, I've tested both enhanced and legacy and upon a fresh boot if starting timer resolution immediately it'll read 0.497 on max.sherifmagdy32 wrote: ↑12 Jan 2023, 07:02I donot remember where i saw this but someone recommended testing both

Now, if I leave the startup process for after a min or two... then launching timer resolution it'll 'sometimes' show 0.500 ms on max with either enhanced or legacy. More often it'll be 0.497 ms.
Again, unsure if something is running that causes it to not read .500 ms.
Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
I don't think what you are experiencing is an issue at all. The timer varies like that all the time, I'm pretty sure it was designed to do that.vhagar wrote: ↑12 Jan 2023, 11:54Thanks for the suggestions, I've tested both enhanced and legacy and upon a fresh boot if starting timer resolution immediately it'll read 0.497 on max.sherifmagdy32 wrote: ↑12 Jan 2023, 07:02I donot remember where i saw this but someone recommended testing both

Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
After more testing it seems using legacy for tscsyncpolicy does indeed seem to give me .500 ms more consistently than using enhanced.
Steps:
- Boot
- Let it sit for about a minute and move the mouse around notice the delay and what not, then it just kicks in you can feel the smoother difference.
- Run timer resolution and it shows .500 ms max. (…so far on my machine)

Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
your motherboard is broken if timer shows 0.5ms on useplatformtick no/deletevalue.
Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
Propably you have disable HPET (High Precision Event Timer) in BIOS. That's why you get 0.497 ms timer resolution.vhagar wrote: ↑09 Jan 2023, 18:22I've noticed Timer Resolution will read 0.497 ms with 'bcdedit /set useplatformtick no' instead of 0.5 ms.

Go to BIOS settings and enable HPET. You should get 0.5 ms after that.
Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
Not true, unfortunately. I have it enabled and it also shows 0.497ms for me.MadMark wrote: ↑19 Jan 2023, 19:32Propably you have disable HPET (High Precision Event Timer) in BIOS.

Re: Timer Resolution - 0.497 ms
Do you have stock bcdedit settings or you changed something?
For example:
- useplatformtick
- useplatformclock
