PC is more responsive after 4 am.

[escape]

Long time lurker here. Want to share something that used to happen long time ago when I was battling with floaty mouse and microstutters in CS. Couldn't figure out back then and noticed the same thing this week again. I still have microstuttery gameplay at high fps, no matter what I do my game doesn't run smooth, 200+ fps feels choppy like I'm playing on 60hz. Even my mouse on desktop is like it's cursor trail is on, stuttering. Last 3-4 days I stayed up until 5 am and every time after 4 am my PC starts running properly on it's own. Game runs smooth, responsive, mouse is not floaty, even on desktop it feels like my monitor became 240 or 360 instead of 144. No stutters or trails when I move my mouse around.

I have optimized BIOS and using a fresh installed (5 days ago) W11 23H2, so I don't have any scheduled tasks in the background during day. Windows update is disabled. I'm convinced the problem isn't my setup or settings anymore. It's either network or electricity. I also notice my mouse becoming responsive when I disable the network adapter.

Specs: 7800x3d, RTX 3060, Asus TUF B650M+, Razer Viper V3 pro, network adapter is realtek 2.5gb

I don't know what the reason is but my frametime spikes consistently every 5 seconds in deadlock. Doesn't matter live game, empty map, fps capped/uncapped, RTSS capped etc. the gpu usage drops with each spike, cpu usage spikes. reflex llm doesnt make any difference.

I have exactly the same problem — I don’t get smoothness in any game or even on the desktop. As soon as I switch my video card from a 3070 to a 4090, everything runs very smoothly for the first three days, but then it goes back to the way it was. An electrician told me this can’t be fixed — it’s some kind of distorted sine wave or something like that. I’m from Krasnodar. If you want, write to me on Discord: dangames.
I’ve replaced a lot of components, routers, providers, and thought maybe it’s all because of the internet. But then I went to a friend’s place — he has a 144 Hz monitor, his PC is weak, but the game runs smoother and faster than at my home. I can see all the movements clearly, everything is smooth, and in-game recoil feels like the weapon is static — not shaking, and all shots go exactly where I aim. When I move the mouse slightly down and control the AK perfectly, you can clearly see the bullet tracers.
But at home, with my expensive BenQ XL2566X monitor, the FPS is stable, everything is overclocked, but it’s all terrible.

Your computer becomes responsive at 4 am only because most people are asleep at this time and electrical appliances that cause interference in the power grid are turned off. Roughly speaking, interference in the power grid affects the responsiveness of the computer. I conducted experiments for myself and found this out.
There is no solution.
Interference from the router also goes to your computer via a LAN cable.
One of the solutions is a network card with Wi-Fi. Well, interference also comes from the monitor via an HDMI or DP cable. In this case, you need to connect the monitor (if it has an external 12v power supply) from the computer's power supply.

This was on linux, but when I was benchmarking my pacer at first, I was getting a spike exactly every 5 seconds, and the reason was that my benchmark was doing I/O (writing to a file) in the same thread where the pacing happened. When I moved the logging to a separate thread, those spikes went away. Maybe there is something similar happening on your end.

A double conversion online ups can definitely fix it. But they are expensive, $500+. How it works is it takes in ac power, converts it to dc, then converts it back to ac power. This conversion is what cleans the power 100%. Any noisy/dirty power will not be able to bypass that.

I confirm that playing is much more enjoyable at night, sometimes it happens that the sight instantly sticks to the enemy's head, like a sword or whatever they say?without any tweaks, settings, etc.!this is due to the unloading of the provider's servers or to electricity, it is not completely clear to everyone, many have tried grounding the UPS, various troubleshooting schemes, etc. but alas, not one does not work!
I'm still confident that windows works out of the box and that's the point!the maximum that can be is the user's crookedness and inexperience in overclocking and bios settings and the Windows configuration standard!
