I've been struggling mainly with desync for a long time in the majority of my games (I don't really suffer from floaty mouse any more), I've tried all sorts of tweaks which maybe work a little while and then just go back to normal. I recently discovered LatencyMon and been seeing what's going on there, whenever I do a speed test I'm getting either one of these literally choking out;
I was on a Realtek Family Ethernet Card but changed it to an Intel Gigabit CT Desktop adapter, but the same thing happens. All my drivers are up to date, Chipsets etc, any other network devices are either disabled or completely removed, moved from Win10 to Win11, I've tried all sorts of settings (Only thing that reduces it, is if I change my Speed and Duplex to something lower, but that's not good because I lose my 1gb internet speed). I've also ran this test without any USB devices connected, same thing happens still. When I'm gaming it's also the highest one possible. I've tried using Windows affinity tool and MSI Utility and set my ethernet card to another core with less stuff going on, it sort of helps but not a lot, I still get a lot of tcpip.sys happening on other cores.
At a complete loss as to what is causing it if anyone can help? I've no idea how to investigate it further.

You have to troubleshoot this by being more concrete, your vagueness doesn't help any troubleshooting attempts.
I'll give you a few baselines to consider:
- List your entire setup along with peripherals (CPU, GPU, Mobo, RAM, Cooling solution, SSD, PSU, Mouse, Monitor, Keyboard, anything else connected to PC)
- List your BIOS settings (and whether you've done some overclocking)
- List the driver versions for each controller you have (GPU, USB, Network, Chipset, Audio,...)
- List the settings you've applied to your networking adapter.
- Show msi_util and GoInterruptPolicy settings you've applied so we can see which controllers you've assigned to which core.
- List the environment you're using the PC in (what router you use, how many wireless devices you have around)
- Do you share your connection with someone in your household? Bufferbloat may be the cause of your desync
- Is your building older? Potential grounding issues may be an issue
Avoid using LatencyMon and use xperf for proper evaluation of driver performance.
That CT Adapter is unnecessary, just use stock Realtek onboard NIC (8111H) and use the appropriate driver (get it from Realtek site, 2023 was the last one iirc)
