HIGH % YOUR InputLag/HitReg IS NETWRK RELATED.

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.

try the one with netadaptercx, not the ndis one, i like netadaptercx one
Holy f*cking sh*t guys.
I beat desync with this "netadaptercx" driver.
I disabled all offload, energy savings and interrupt moderation.
Checked MSI box and put it to the core 4(priority low, msi limit 4, RSS 4 queues).
Then i put this command in CS2 launch options "+cl_tickpacket_desired_queuelength 0.035" without " ".
Now i don't have any desync and finally FEEL like my shots are hitting enemies as it should be.
Definitely not a placebo. Whole week without any kind of desync.
I am finally free from this network lag thread.
Such a relief.
P.S. tried USB network card = desync
tried PCIe network card = desync.
After all of that i came back to my onboard lan realtek NIC and with this driver my games (cs2 included) feel amazing again.

Is this the driver with rss already disabled and not visible when you check the properties?
This driver has RSS enabled by default. I just change it to 4 queues
That's strange, on my realtek nic I need to use the windows 10 driver NDIS for RSS to show up. It disappears after installing the netadaptercx driver.

Now tell if you tested on same game version to avoid update affecting your "feelings".
Well cs2 got updated 3 times this week. Still feels really good. By the way in the game called Hunt Showdown my desync disappeared too :)
Still fixed till today?
yes. MUCH MUCH better than any other fixes. Not IDEAL but damn it fells good

Can confirm this works for me. I'm on B850M Aorus with a Realtek 2.5 Gb NIC. The difference is I only set the priority to low and put the NIC on core 4 without changing RSS/Msi limit, but it's better for sure I could say.

Hey bro, did you test this out on FACEIT servers? Any ferrari peeks/sluggish-feeling deaths?
How do I set my NIC to core 4?

Thank you

I dont understand, when i install netadaptercx there is no option for rss queue 4? So someone can say what we need to do step by step :) thx

cuz netadaptercx dont have rss cuz that is new gen nic driver based on wdf01000.sys, 1 core - 1 interrupt, you can only move that core.

This is not true I have over 200 Servers and Workstations with non NDIS (netadaptercx) drivers and RSS enabled and working see here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... aling-rss-

If your don't see 2/4/8 queues your driver either doesn't support it or has not implemented that. Many drivers still support RSS but you have to either use the powershell commands for it to configure rss or add it via registry.

Since I'am a lazy person I will link you here my claude.ai inquiry 1. If it's possible with netadaptercx and 2. how to configure it:
