My Battle With Floaty Aim | Weird Temporary Fixes

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.

Hello, please tell me which .reg file exactly is being discussed. Thank you for your answer

Posting just to say that the new 1000w psu which is an overkill for my rig, apparently, removed all floaty aim instantly. I recommend reading this thread of the EMI subforum as we can't talk about those kind of things on this category. viewtopic.php?f=24&t=13054

Edit: PSU model - Corsair RM1000x SHIFT White Series 1000W 80 Plus Gold Modular
Still fixed?

Just how is it possible. I think that would fix my Issue aswell with massive desync. But just howwww

Here's a few suggestions for troubleshooting:

1.) You haven't mentioned the specific RAM timings you've used on both of your DDR4 & DDR5 rigs.
This can severely impact overall latency performance of a system and this is the most likely culprit of your issue.
I'd say this is the most common culprit of a majority of this subforum's visitors issue.
Running stress test utilities, such as RamTestPro for +16h should reveal if you have major instabilities
https://pcstonks.ru/ram-test-pro/en

2.) You haven't mentioned whether your SSD or PSU changed between your 2 rigs

3.) Avoid using custom “debloated” OS ISOs, they break more things than they fix
Avoid using ISLC, DPC Latency Checker & similar utilities, they haven't worked since W7 era. Even then, their benefits were questionable at best.
Look into these guides:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c2- ... it?tab=t.0 (Calypto's guide)
https://github.com/valleyofdoom/PC-Tuning (easiest to setup Windows installation, requires running a simple .reg file after clean installation and you're done for the most part)
https://github.com/BoringBoredom/PC-Optimization-Hub
https://github.com/djdallmann/GamingPCSetup
Choose a good version of Windows, depending on game compatibility:
W7
W10 1709, 1803, 1809, 1909
W11 22H2, W11 23H2. Skip 24H2 for now

4.) The difference between your 2 rigs is in the USB & Network Controller (Intel to AMD, Intel to Realtek), consider troubleshooting that with xperf (found in Pc-Tuning repository) or xtw
https://github.com/valleyofdoom/xtw

5.) Dual monitors usually does add overhead, but how perceivable it is to you and whether it is the main culprit of your issues is unknown. I personally believe there are more important culprits to find

6.) Polling rate does affect over input latency.

7.) You also haven't mentioned whether your GPU driver version you tried or whether you've used the same driver versions.

8.) If you'd like to try a consistent feeling mouse experience, you could consider grabbing a ASM1x4x USB PCIe add-in card.
Their DPC/ISR performance is usually drastically better than stock Microsoft USB drivers.

Hope this helps.
Hi, I used this program for my RAM, and after 20 minutes I got 6 errors. What can I do to improve my RAM timings? Simply by increasing the timings by 1? Or what do you recommend I do? I have Gskill DDR5 at 6400MHz.

I assume you're a CS2 player, as most users here are.
A few quick "fixes" you can do are:
1.) Disabling XMP or any kind of RAM overclock—it's a hassle to learn and most shouldn't bother, especially if RAM isn't in QVL of motherboard & if a game (such as CS2) doesn't scale much from "better" RAM timings.
2.) Disabling HT—helps lowering total system latency & causes performance benefits in CS2 specifically
3.) Reinstall your OS to W11 23H2, but only after your HW is confirmed to be stable and you haven't done drastic changes in BIOS.

Other than that, your CPU and/or GPU might also be unstable, it might be wise to try troubleshooting that with tools such as P95, OCCT etc. before doing the OS reinstallation.

I assume you're on a Intel LGA1700-based configuration. I cannot assist you or guide you any further with the information you've given me.
List your HW & SW configuration, ideally as detailed as possible. Send a Asrock Timing Configuration or MemTweakIt screenshot.
