Regarding Power Plans

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

Regarding Power Plans

Post by flouse » 17 Aug 2024, 16:25

Hello guys, I wanted to get some thoughts on power plans and their impact on performance. The main thing I wanted to note is that on Overwatch and Valorant, if I change my power plan from Balanced to High Performance or Ultimate Performance, my mouse feels more responsive. However, I see recommendations online to keep the power plan on Balanced and adjust the windows slider for my chip. I have the latest chipset drivers and bios for my motherboard. What is the proper way forward?

CPU: 5800x3d
GPU: 4080

use ultimate perf. powerplan
disable usb suspend and power moderation
disable core parking
disable cpu idle state
prefer. perfomance cores

I found Melody's Low Latency Power Plan to be the best.

What is that application? I can take a look at it. I think I saw it in a video but that was a while back. Right now I am switching between stock Balanced, High, and Ultimate. I can take a look at more power options though. The main conflict I have is deciding what is the optimal power plan for latency and 1% and .1% lows in games. A lot of different suggestions.

Not to that power plan. Mine is better anyways: https://github.com/Hyyote/files-/blob/m ... Frenzy.pow
