Most impactful tweak

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.

Most impactful tweak

Post by rekaa02511 » 01 Dec 2025, 10:19

First of all, this thread is not for those who are affected by EMI/Power lag, I know there are no reg edits, changes that you can make to solve those issues.. For those without those lags, what is the most impactful tweak/change that you made on your system? I'm trying to get my latency input as low as possible.

The one that I really like a lot is the PowerSettingsExplorer edit, when you change "Processor Performance Time Check Interval" to 5000, you can instantly feel the difference and you can also change "Processor idle time check" to 200000 instead of 50000, at least the first one lowers DPC latency a bunch.

Turning of Control Flow Guard on your game exe file also a necessity.

Any good ones to share?

Both power plans I have in my GitHub guide are objectively perfect that have both the settings you mentioned plus some kernel events disabled.
I'm testing this atm but maybe disalbing the WmiAcpi driver could be impactful.
Otherwise I just like applying thousands of regedits because they do lower latency and increase performance a bit on paper but regarding mouse feel they do nothing.

Or to give a more detailed answer, I do it like this: run a standard Windows install with updates and everything else turned off, just to apply a few thousand SCEWIN settings. Then install a pre-tweaked Windows 11 that has every service and driver turned off that isn't needed for the specific games I play. When it comes to impactfulness, many people claim that hardware is kind of the only factor that matters and you can do little with what you have. I always found this wrong and with these little things adding up, you can see clear results, even though it's time consuming and leaves you with a system hanging by its threads.

Your github is absolutely stacked but I'm afraid to do some of those tweaks.. I still keep my windows security on and lots of other stuff. I added some of your BCDEDIT commands though, thank you. Also, your power plans, I don't have a good cooling system for PC, do you still recommend it?

It won't disable idle states so there shouldn't be a difference.

The topic of input lag is much more advanced in the Russlan community than in Western countries. It has long been understood that there is no 'magic setting' that instantly fixes everything. Everyone uses the standard Windows, registry, and BIOS optimizations; they might help a tiny bit, but effectively, they don’t change anything significantly.

The most advanced methods are:

Custom Hardware Solutions: People are designing custom electrical circuits to combat mains interference. This is on a completely different level than some consumer-grade online voltage stabilizer you can buy in a store. However, the effect is usually temporary—even if it can be strong at first. After a week or two, the hardware becomes saturated. No one has achieved a stable, long-term result yet.

Software Solutions: On the other hand, there are attempts to develop software. The goal is to use calculations to keep the processor in a constant rhythm, forcing all internal Windows processes to 'march in step' with that beat. It works like a metronome or a software-based USB anti-jitter tool. I actually developed one of these programs myself, but for now, it is only available on specialized Telegram channels.

Dunno how I didn't see your reply, this thread is more for those without that EMI/Power lag that many suffer from.. Most of my lag went away when I switched from Ethernet to WiFi, I can still notice difference in how the PC runs during the day verses night but it's really really good. Trying to get the most out of a not so high class PC perfomance wise, many small tweaks can do more than you think but it wont solve no power/EMI lag.

I have no idea what your current system is but this is an outdated placebo tweak that doesn't improve FPS, latency or stutter on modern Ryzen systems and can slightly worsen power behavior.
Turning of Control Flow Guard on your game exe file also a necessity.

Another outdated placebo tweak and doesn't improve gaming performance on modern systems.

Are you on a pre-Zen/pre-Skylake CPU?

No one will make anything that works unless they find out what frequency it is.
They are wasting their time. It's like trying to find needle in haystack while blindfolded.

same opinion. we need find what frequency affect on us., without it no way to fix it.
