Went from Bufferbloat C rating to A+ rating with this script! NIC only tweaks!

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.

He tested the bufferbloat on his PC and solved the bufferbload, if he is gaming and downloading at the same time.
Yes right...this literally what that all bufferbloat sites about...

Like setup proper QoS SQM on your bandwith and you will achieve A+ and can download and watch youtube while gaming at same time and your Ping will dont spike and no lag...:lol:


It dont fixes a shit and does not improve your online gaming "skill" issues...:lol: total bullshit this bufferbloat sites and every youtuber tweaker that you see and who tells you that you will fix hitreg with that...even more bullshit :D

Tuning TCP doesn't make games (99% of them are using UDP) run better :D

where you unreaz?? another guy say that settings working for him in games but that is tcp connection, how you explain that??
There is nothing you can do on the client side that could improve your connection to the outside world. The only option is a VPN. I don't believe in NIC tweaks or anything like that, because it's only on your side. On your PC. No matter what people say, it's not possible. I also bought expensive NICs with SFTP connections back then. Or even just had a modem device that was directly connected to the internet. It didn't help. The connection between you, your ISP, and the servers is what matters. Not you, the first hop. Only what lies in between.

Haven't you realized yet that packets get stuck on the client side?

In this case, you will experience packet loss at the router or your LAN cable is faulty if that happens. But these are easy things to fix or replace. Anything beyond your router is beyond your control.

That's why you can't find any inconsistencies on the path from the server to your router because there's no problem on that line. Your packet delayed inside your pc.

The proof is in the screenshot, this one settings changed bufferbloat from C to A+. There are many things you can do to optimize, a network connection has a lot of things involved, the first is your nic, second is your router and third your provider.

You also see in the screenshot that I lost a lot of speed also, from around 2200/2300 down to 1800/1200. There is a technology called "SQM" thats the latest shit to optimize for gaming and low latency and it does kinda does same. Please refer to kinda, I want to keep it simple.

With SQM you limit to around 90-95% of your bandwidth but get it more stable better for gaming.

back and before 2018 i never heard about bufferbloat and such sites and tests...was just gaming per wifi and enjoyed and everything was fine.


and now today you tell me that the packets are delayed inside and in different PCs builds that i have and tried ? and that why i and many suffer "SKILL" issues and feel differences from match to matches and like disadvantage and low noob every time against random Enemy ?..:lol:


very interesting and how this delays inside different PC hardwares and on routers with SQM and QOS happen ? you already can tell and find out ? pls tell...i finally want that my packets dont stuck more on my clients and go to my Router and then to my ISP without stuck...:o



you guys going again the old bad wrong path and topics which people talk about before after 2020 too and here on forum...

Unreazz right and it is out of control for many and this Bufferbloat Site is hoax and dont gonna improve your Online Gaming and turn you to TenZ or Shroud or an Donk with 100ms delay packets and even this Active 0ms and 0ms Tweak dont go do much of difference...you guys fall again into an placebo trap but soon gonna realize this and come back here and talk again about Desync Ferrari and that you feel 0,5ms behind every Enemy with broken Time to Kill reaction and an weird Hitreg that dont kills... :lol:

Well done you just make your TCP bufferbloat A+. Tell me how did you test your UDP bufferbloat

Ye I can literally achieve same thing here and even with my poor ADSL2+ connection :lol:...where it will then show too 0ms in active or under 10ms and very low jitter numbers and will say too at the end "Your latency did not much increase under load" and give me A rating but without + (cause ADSL2+ comes with low speeds and that why only A)...and where i will have perfect 30ms to Frankfurt server which barely spikes and will move only 1+ms up or down during whole gameplay...



On 4G and 5G its harder to control this bufferbloat because of speed and signal changes and congestion but you can make and achieve some good low numbers on this Site even with 4G or 5G LTE Routers too and with like adaptive SQM scripts. But LTE and mobile Internet is generally not recommended at all for online gaming...

And if you already suffer in and from your Location with Online Gaming and Disadvantages and with Home ISP then no mobile and LTE 4G 5G will in most case dont fix it even too and dont gonna turn you to an Donk or Shrud and even with such posetive good Bufferloat tests...
You still will face random Enemies which gonna have like huge Adavantage over you and no matter what and the feel of like Desync still gonna stay and where you feel like you play 0,5sec or 1sec in the past on Servers with no much TimeToKill against your lucky Enemy who just suddenly and randomly on magic way become faster than you and turn to an Insta Pro killing Machine and you to an full Noob who cant even properly and normal shoot back more...

This what everyone should be focused on and figure out why and how this unfairness works and happens and why affects so many different Players with already many thousand Hours on Account but still sucking like its the first Day... :lol:

And stop waste time on this bullshit Bufferbloat tests...



But here is something very interesting and a Post 5 years ago...
https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comme ... et_matter/

A Guy who reach Immortal already 5 Years ago even with 4G LTE but playing Madrid Server cause of lower latency and probably because which appear nearest to him... :lol:


So you guys gonna keep talk more about Bufferbloat and how much it affects and ruins your Online Gaming Skill or Feel and does Lag ? :lol:
