I will chime in on this one, since this is so well known.

This is often recommended because power management can insert lag into your system.

Even simple things like framerate capping (which can cause GPU/CPU to idle between frames) might cause your computer to downclock too much between frames, causing it to be a laggard during processing mouse input, etc. So many problematic domino effects during power management in the 500Hz future, so power management should automatically be disabled when playing esports (OK to e-enable when you're not playing).

Hello, i loaded the melody mod on Nvidia profile inspector, everything's ok but,I would like to know which modification "forces" the state into "full screen" because after loading the profile and restarting my PC, every game seems to be "forced" into "full screen" mode (Of course, I have tried changing the game settings and experimenting with windowed or borderless fullscreen modes, but it doesn't make any difference). Whenever I move the mouse to the second monitor or press the Windows key on my keyboard, everything goes black for a couple seconds and it's disturbing. Which setting should I change to modify this function?

Update: I fixed it by adjusting the v-sync and g-sync settings in the Nvidia control panel. I'll leave the post visible in case it might be helpful to someone.

Is there a reason why you installed 441.41 and not any other driver before but closer to 451.48 (which apparently is where the reg edit thing stops working as mentioned in OP)
Unluckilly I have like one of the few motherboards that don't support ANY USB drivers on Win 7. I tried everything, even the 3.0 USB injector to the install media and nothing, not even the USB 2 ports work. Eventually after days of trying EVERYTHING I called MSI and they were like, "ya, usb no work w/ B360M sry".

IMHO the main improvement comes from picking certain driver version. I used to use 347.25 (Win 8.1) and it was the best for me, now I use 451.67 (Win 10 v2004), and I think it gives me the best results in terms of input-lag/mouse movement/smoothness.
Same as quote above. Why 451.67 for Windows 10? Doesn't that mean the reg edit thing mentioned in OP won't work? OP says that reg edit thing only works on 451.48 and earlier so why do an update right after it where the reg edit won't work?

Seperate question, is installing Windows 10 pre-Creators Update something people do? I hear that update incuded a lot of input lag?

Where did you get this info? I didn't see that anywhere in the original post. Also, how do you do it? Same path as the other reg edit in original post and I assume all DWORD aswell?
