2025 Anti lag guide in getting new PC and hardware [video proof and no schizo BS]

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.

If you can't hit shiet then probably it is yeah. but you are doomed anyways if its ISP since there is not much what you can do...
Moving in to a new flat, in two weeks, where the Internet access is delivered from my own company - Let the debugging begin!
Updates ?
Hi! Yes 🙂
After connecting the new access router in the newly built flat, the Internet Exchange is now just one hop away. I’ve got very effective routing toward the global IP Transit and associated networks. However, RTTs have doubled to Frankfurt and are 60–80% higher to Amsterdam and London. It turns out that some of my traffic isn’t going through the IP Transit but instead takes direct peering paths — which, while intended for more efficient routing, actually performed worse in this case.

The company I work for owns all the network infrastructure (Access, Metro, and Core), so I’ve been able to debug it quite thoroughly. It seems we have some buffering on the border nodes handling direct peering. Long story short → we’re upgrading those border nodes, and I’ve optimized the peering routes toward all Faceit CS2 servers in Europe.

With default Windows settings, I get a bufferbloat grade of “A.” By lowering the PCIe NIC RX and TX buffers, it improves to A+. I can comfortably hold angles in CS2 when connected via the IP Transit path, but when traffic goes through the direct peering route, it’s unplayable. Hopefully the ongoing remediation steps will fix that.

Aside from the network side, I’ve also noticed some odd behavior in the render pipeline. It seems like Windows performs a link training during boot that ignores my monitor’s custom timings — easily fixed by restarting the driver, but still strange. It’s a new and exciting experience every time I boot the computer.

If you want your inputlag to be like on the video, read on:

phpBB [video]


Here are some scoreboards, the main point my skill is always the ceiling not how my hardware behaves:

https://imgur.com/a/CztmGzD

Seeing the amount of problems people are having with floaty mouse/lag i've decided to share my RIG which literally has ZERO issues. Forget the bulllshit seen on this forum from some schizos that wrong mousepad or less than 1000W PSU will cause inputlag lmao!!! I never have any lag, my mouse is snappy as fuck, the fps is so high and the frametimes are so low and consistent that you feel one with the machine/game. You can kill people like crazy with zero effort. Just copy my build 1:1 and you can start clapping people. As for the desync i am quite sure most of you just have shitty ISP and there is nothing that can be done about that unless you are willing to change your ISP which uses a different hardware endpoints. Anyways if you follow my guide in a creating a lag free PC and you still have problems then you have narrowed down that the ISP is the only problem.

[HARDWARE]
-Asrock b550 Pro4 UEFI ver. 3.40 Realtek RTL8111H eth controller
-5800x3d undervolted using negative offset in bios -30 all cores
-2x8 Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz CL19 (ofc you have to set it to CL14/3600Mhz/1800 infinity fabric, or higher depending on the silicone lottery, my setting are attached)
-I've tested 5070Ti and 9070XT both were amazing.
-Corsair RM850x - ATX 3.1 - PCIe 5.1(keep in mind that the included 12V-2x6 connector is of a horrible quality and it's probably better to buy NZXT C850 Gold ATX 3.1)
-Archer AX53 1.5.4 fw.
-240hz monitor Acer Nitro XV272Xbmiiprx IPS (do not get an OLED if you play vision based shooters like Hunt Showdown, the blacks are so good you will have trouble seeing enemies in dark places)

[PERIPHERIALS]
-get a wireless mouse with either PIXART PAW 3395 or PAW 3950 which is popular and known to cause no problems. I have a MCHOSE G3 Realtek MCU ULTRA 8K receiver(more on pooling later)
-keyboard literally doesn't matter i was clapping people on 10$ office dell keyboard but if you really need to know i use Genesis Thor 404 TKL Kailh Brown)
-mousepad doesn't matter, personal prefference, i used Genesis Carbon and using SMX Speed Mouse Mat L Black which literally was 5$.

[WINDOWS AND SOFTWARE]
-do NOT install stock windows, it's literally one huge pile of spy and bloatware. Install a modded windows which is just barebones. I personally use W11 24h2 Ghost Spectre Superlite SE no Defender and having zero issues. If for some reason you don't wanna use it, do your own research and use something else. Do not use piece of shit stock windows.
-after installing fresh windows DO NOT install anything other than:
1.https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist
2.directX web installer update https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... aspx?id=35
3.chipset drivers
4.GPU driver either minimal installation if you plan on gaming only or full install if you want to set recording shadow play/instant replay.
That's it!! Do not install any other bullshit like MSI afterburned which is known to cause stuttering for some people/games. Go install and play the game.

[MISC]
-do not use less than ~1500 DPI. It increases input lag for no reason. https://youtu.be/6AoRfv9W110?t=303
-do not crank up the pooling HZ to 8k barely any game supports that causing stuttering and your CPU usage will spike. Stay on 2K like i do and 4K only on games which you will test to cause no problems. 8K is snake oil and i have not found a single game working well with it.
-You do not have to spend hours in the registry changing god knows what, same goes for UEFI. This forum is filled with false promise clueless schizophrenics sharing the most placebo BS ever with ZERO proof.
-Always limit your fps, preferably to a number which will not leave you in a GPU bound situation, being in a constant GPU bottleneck will introduce additional inputlag #2. Ideally you should aim for stable fps twice as much as your refresh rate #1.

This is my first writeup, probably will modify it a bit later on. If you have some additional questions hit me up on discord "slick_dad" or comment here. Also please do not ask me about AM5 hardware simply because i don't have it yet and i do not know which ones will be lag free.I'll probably aim for a MOBO with Realtek eth controller not an intel one. I'll upgrade once the ryzen 10XXX will come out and let you know. Peace.
Can you record a video playing Battlefield 4?

Exactly, he know nothing but he is trying tell us what we are have to do.
There is 0 chance that any PC will work at my apartment with 0 difference if thats online or offline.
I do not reply that often but as Khabib said: This is n1 BS.
