2023 Esports Optimization Guide
Posted: 15 Mar 2023, 18:08
Here are the steps to bring a fresh Windows install up to competition-spec using Process Lasso. This guide is meant for both Windows 10 and 11. I will be updating this with more information.
Adding in HPET here at the beginning due to large performance impact:
On my Win11 build I disable the HPET device in Device Manager, and run this command as an admin in Command Prompt:
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes

1. Install the latest motherboard, audio, network, and graphics drivers.
2. Turn off "Enhance Pointer Precision" in mouse settings.
3. Disable power savings in Device Properties.
4. Configure network settings.
5. Install and configure Process Lasso.
6. Enable maximum performance in Graphics settings. Disable all sync technology. Vsync/fast sync/Gsync/freesync. If GPU is getting maxed out to 100% usage, low latency mode and nvidia reflex can lower the input delay. Target 80-90% GPU usage if possible for consistent input delay.
7. Disable Steam controller options.
8. Configure device interrupt priorities.
