Been there, done that. It's not worth the hassle in the long run, good fella. Chasing goose isn't worth damaging your mental health. You're a gamer by heart, just like I am, but constant struggle is just silly - the sooner you realize that, the better.
Read about people who can't wear battery watches. This problem is known for experienced watchmakers but there is no good explanation why does it happen. "Muddy" mouse feeling stays with me everywhere I play. Dismantle your mouse and put some steel thin mesh inside and test it.
You say that is hardware, but there are many cases, you'll find on here, where people's old machines perform way better (ie no input lag/desync) than their newer ones. It's really odd.FPSMaster wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 06:57I have a Latency Tool and I found out, 90% of all the tweaks are placebo. Human mind can actually easily add 50ms of "placebo lag".
Just debloat windows (Uninstall all useless AppxPackages, Apps), disable all power saving features, set interrupt affinities, set devices to msi mode, disable memory compression and never let your GPU reach over 95% Usage.
Hardware is the biggest factor, NOT tweaking your OS. Sadly most people here don't understand this. I saw people complaining about lag, when they were playing on a GT 1030 paired with a old I3 dual core CPU and a 60hz office monitor and thaught tweaking windows would give them god tier responses... there is a clear line, of when it gonna get unplayable based on hardware.
The biggest problem is, that nobody really tested most of the tweaks (except couple of youtubers) and people claim to have fixed things, based on their feels. While in reality, most of these tweaks don't even reduce lag by 1ms. Not even 0.5ms.... that just shows the power of placebo and how it influences human reaction times.
Since I confirmed that tweaking windows maybe improves 5% of the lag in the whole input lag chain, I understood that most of this stuff is placebo.
But at the same time, these people NEVER tested their systems.ApexLeg wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 10:44You say that is hardware, but there are many cases, you'll find on here, where people's old machines perform way better (ie no input lag/desync) than their newer ones.

excuse me but can you help me set gpu/usb interrupt affinity?FPSMaster wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 06:57I have a Latency Tool and I found out, 90% of all the tweaks are placebo. Human mind can actually easily add 50ms of "placebo lag".

that is true, i have second pc 144hz (8700k 1060 z370) in same room and it gives me better feel of input then my z790 13700k 3070ti 360hzFPSMaster wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 11:43But at the same time, these people NEVER tested their systems.ApexLeg wrote: ↑28 Mar 2024, 10:44You say that is hardware, but there are many cases, you'll find on here, where people's old machines perform way better (ie no input lag/desync) than their newer ones.

There is no logical explenation for why this would happen. The only thing could be, that they have some kind of compatibility issue. Maybe they used a incompatible ram kit with their CPU and mobo. Maybe they used a bad power supply. Maybe they used a bad CPU in combination with a high end GPU. Most of the stuff is user skill issue or incompatibility.
Of course there could also be some kind of driver issues, but that also mostly happens due to data corruption or a bad windows install, and not because of the hardware. Out of the box, windows does a pretty good job in finding the best drivers for your hardware.
If I understood you correctly, you're saying old hardware can outperform new hardware, which doesn't seem right at all and if it really does, it is because of the end user and/or incompatibility.
