I was being sarcastic because there are excellent and well know guides on the internet already :

Don't do stuff when you don't know what it does. Like tweaking your ethernet adapter settings, or using ultra low latency mode in competitive games :geek: .

I always appreciate these posts but honestly how many of these steps are really that pertinent? I feel like the mouse settings and nvidia ones is all you really need.
Check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHSCFix09wY

This is how csgo major champions setup their pc. And you understand that right, there are almost ZERO tweaking here, just nvidia and pointer precise setting.

I think now, all your(and everyone reading this) questions are now resolved .

when he turns off the acceleration, he says that he turns off the input lag, Jame is just a space idiot.
I was also very amused that he uses a usb hub

It's worth remembering that tournaments setup the computers for a fair, competitive experience. This means the players don't need to know anything beyond adjusting the allowed settings in order to compete successfully. Professional organizations also provide top-end gear and computer expertise to their players, allowing the players to focus on gameplay instead of configurations.

Do you also disable powersaving for all the peripherals in the "Human Interface Devices" tab & disable for your USB Hubs/Controllers? The guide only shows you disabling it in the mouse/keyboard tab.

I don't use usb hubs because they introduce input lag, I just check device manager if I replug anything. I check every peripheral, like keyboard, mouse, network, controller, audio devices

Oh, I know what you mean now. Thank you for pointing this out, I updated the instructions to include this section.

Yes, you'll need to check in there as well. I found a couple of devices with the power saving still turned on in here.

Updated again, found some more devices like CPU, security, and USB controllers.

also, install all the latest drivers for your PC via Snappy Driver. It helps reducing latency, DPC Latency etc. Windows is doing a poor job installing and managing drivers.

I would recommend against snappydriver. It often recommends unnecessary drivers and drivers that it believes are correct for your hardware but was made for slightly different devices.

Many of these drivers can cause certain issues/lag with your PC. I highly recommend manually updating your drivers: Chipset, GPU, Network, Audio + any other extra one's you might need for your particular setup.
