new motherboard = good skill

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.

new motherboard = good skill

Post by ablemor » 10 Apr 2025, 13:46

I swapped out my PC now I have a 9600X processor and an MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard and the input lag is gone. I got 35 kills with 75% headshots, hitting shots like never before. This could be due to a BIOS setting that's different by default on MSI boards, or maybe the entire PCB is just different. I previously had Gigabyte and ASRock (they even had EMI-protected 5G ports and a lightning port, but still didn’t feel right), but MSI was hard to boot at first it kept showing error code 22, which is memory-related, though Im not sure why. I just played one match now, and everything felt really good. I’ve tried MSI boards twice, and both times were a success. But with the first one — the MSI X870 Gaming Plus WIFI — the effect disappeared after I updated a Windows driver.

It might just be a temporary MSI effect that disappears after 1–2 hours or matches, but I hope it’s permanent. What’s interesting is that this time I didn’t even plug an EMI filter into the connector no EMI filter at all.

Yes, because I kept replacing them, always sent them back, and tested motherboards from all the major manufacturers. I can confidently say that so far MSI is the best, followed by ASRock, ASUS, and finally Gigabyte in my opinion.

It seems that the OP, as I've suspected, has issues related to DPC/ISR drivers performance due to his motherboard's on-board controllers.
The other explanation is better memory compatibility.
in my experience dpc/isr latency can cause hz drop on mouse and framedrop, but trust me, on ideal systems it is not noticeable. Even jitter with delta 500-1500hz will not be so noticeable.
You right, it can be gpu / ram compatibility with motherboard. That mean you can take any ram from qvl list and run with it perfectly.
With gpu same, you can check qvl gpu list, find vbios from that list and flash it on your any-vendor card.
