Is it true that this option actually affects responsiveness?
I know a lot of people believe that it works and use it.
ISLC 0.5ms timer resolution Does it work?
Re: ISLC 0.5ms timer resolution Does it work?
dude, you don't need to activate the useplatformtick because it activates the RTC Timer, it causes severe desynchronization...............

If your system isn't responsive already you can try yourself and see if there's a difference, it won't break anything.blackstorm82 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 23:18windows10/11

For me it doesn't do anything.

I do not know why he went straight to useplatformtick without you even mentioning it he might have been commenting on another post
anyway when people disable HPET using "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes" some people also suggested using "bcdedit /set useplatformtick No" to get a more consistent 0.5 timer resolution that the relation of his answer to what you are asking
you do not need to use ISLC to use timer resolution just use "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes" in cmd make sure to run it as administrator
someone also added this makes timer resolution better i can't vouch for that i did not really feel a difference but as he mentions here
link:https://github.com/amitxv/TimerResolution
it only works for windows 10 Server 21H2 and windows 11
"Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel" /v "GlobalTimerResolutionRequests" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f"
might test it out and see if you feel any difference.

The Real Time Clock (RTC) is the source of the current date and time for the OS. The typical resolution of this timer is one second. All ACPI-compliant systems have an RTC chip compatible with the Motorola MC146818, which was present in the original IBM PC/AT from 1984. In modern systems, the RTC is usually integrated into the motherboard's southbridge system logic set (which means a fairly high read latency). The non-volatile nature of this timer is ensured by a special battery. The principles of RTC programming evoke nostalgia for BCD numbers and the Y2K problem.

It's not true it affects inputlag itself, but in many cases disabling HPET will reduce frametime fluctuations and stutters which will result in better Game Performance and so: less Lag.blackstorm82 wrote: ↑15 Mar 2023, 23:18windows10/11

Note that people only had to use ISLC back in windows 10 v1905 days.
Now you can just use the BCDEDIT Command lines and disable HPET trough Device manager. Don't use ISLC if you just wanna force HPET off.
How to Disable HPET the right way (On Windows newer then Version 1905):
1. Open CMD as Admin
2. Enter these Command Lines in CMD (one command line will give you a error, which is normal):
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock
bcdedit /set useplatformtick yes
bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes
3. Exit out of CMD
4. Go Inside Device Manager
5. Right click on "high precision event timer" and click "disable device"
6. Restart your PC
Important: Do not disable HPET inside your bios. Disabling it trough windows is better and more effective.
