No, I think all modern network controllers in W10 era should be used with MSI mode enabled.JimCarry wrote: ↑25 Apr 2025, 17:14i think if we think logically if your device suports msi x,it must run it msi mode 100% of the time,however i have read in this forum from many users,who also make threads to show this,if you have nic on mb.in my case is "Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller" i think its always 100% better to be not in msi mode.do you agree with me?
For USB & audio, there's definitely more nuance to this topic.
The biggest issue is that most of this discussion is unexplored & requires technical knowledge to fully troubleshoot by using ETL-based tools such as xtw, MXA,... & the biggest hurdle, which gatekeeps this information: time & effort.
One can consider playing around with core affinities instead, if lowering jittering from DPC/ISR scheduling is wanted.
All drivers (kernel-mode modules) on Windows, by default, schedule DPC/ISR's on core 0.
