useplatformclock (Windows stutters)

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.

I achieved a 1 to 1 feeling by removing some commands and disabling one.

Deleted:
bcdedit /deletevalue disabledynamictick
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformtick

and disabled:
bcdedit /set useplatformtick false

if you select false, the command line will show no. So, it makes no difference, if you want, you can write no instead of false.

my hands) I'm not sure if the restore point saves these settings if you mess everything up, it's better to create a restore point before, but in any case it's worth a try. Over the years, I've tried many tweaks, from binding drivers to specific kernels and so on. The only thing that made the mouse really comfortable was these settings. I also tried this on two Windows 10s, and the situation improved there similarly. Now I want to fix the desynchronization in online games, it also happens to me from time to time, but most of the time I have desynchronization in all online games. By the way, the high-precision timer in the device manager does not have to be disabled.

Hate to add onto what's already in this thread.

Had issues along the way but successfully optimized my Timer/Timing issue

Running the following
Windows 11 24h2
B650 AORUS ELITE AX V2
9600x 5.57 GHz Static Clock (AIO Cooled)
32gb 6400MT Corsair (idk die) Only had one xmp setting.
4060 (Driver 566.36)
700w psu
SSD ofc WD Black 1TB

I had this issue where the mouse felt floaty and I would experience it the most in Valorant, as well as the common desync in other games where others would see me first etc.

Attempted to optimize with some guides online but same results, then out of the blue one day I had an issue where if I tabbed out--in any display mode--my game would completely de-sync despite stable ping and Id have to tab back out and in to resync but some attempts it would un-sync again after a second or so. (I would be moving and shooting but on other players side, I was walking into a wall.)

Figured it was a Timer Issue. Reset what was mentioned in here and set the below.

Timer resolution is set to 0.508 via AMIT'S timer res (khorvie Tech YT video guide)*

Here are my BCD settings/values (apologies, not keen to the terms)*

I also have some devices set to specific cores via Interrupt_Affinity_Policy_Tool*
ex. Mouse, Keyboard, GPU, XHCI USB controllers as well as USB hubs, not all though as that would be too many. also worth mentioning that Khorvies interrupt policy walkthrough is not very detailed but also not too time consuming as another video recommends LatencyMon benchmarking, which would not work for me.

And have set the following via MSI Util V3*

It is also worth mentioning that Keyboard and Mouse spread out among USB ports.

I hate to recommend optimization tools especially as most are paid but hone(PAID) was pretty easy as far as system optimization.
Only really need to buy for one month and test before cancelling it as you wont need to change anything back if proper testing is done.

Used to use Adamx tweaking utility but when you upgrade anything it requires a new license L (Not worth)

*Copy settings at own risk as every system is different


Hi,

Thank you for the information you have provided, it has been very useful,

Do you mind telling me what value you used for useplatformclock as it wasn't shown in the image you provided?


I deleted the value as it was set to no anyways

I use this on W10 21H2 on Coffee Lake (i5-8400H):

Code: Select all

"bcdedit.exe" /set "useplatformtick" "no"
"bcdedit.exe" /set "useplatformclock" "no"
Older ATI/AMD GPU drivers would force HPET on reboots, so I have that auto-start.

As I understand, both of those at no disable synthetic timers or anything that isn't TSC.

please could you tell me which Win32PrioritySeparation you used also?
