BEST WISHES EVERYBODY AND CS LAGG 7 YEARS

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.

Later, he moved back to his old house, where he currently lives (which does have proper grounding), and everything works normally again. He can dodge bullets, in Overwatch he can tank a crazy amount of damage, zero desync.

At least I don’t personally know anyone close to me who has no grounding, otherwise I could tell you for sure whether it’s that or not. But beyond that, this is the most common fix for many people, and I’ve read about it more than 20 times
Ridiculous.
Let me use the same anecdotal n=1 logic of you as well: I had no grounding on my sockets as well until half a year ago and none of those "issues" were a thing during my play time.
Pure snake oil :D

I appreciate your response, but a 4090 or 5080 for CS2 is really overkill. I play at a resolution of 1280x960... (Of course, I also tried higher ones to see if the problem was related to that). I even tried an AMD GPU 9070xt.
1.) There is no "overkill" in terms of hardware, if you want to be the best.
The 4090/5080 is bare minimum if you want to play this game at the lowest total system latency possible, especially when paired with a good +500Hz display.
2.) That RAM kit choice looks concerning. Provide a HWInfo or Asrock Timing Configurator screenshot of your current timing profile.

As I said, I'm getting +500 fps.
This problem arose. In CSGO, I was running at around 900fps at the time. I also fixed them with the Hz setting.
(Present-to-present) Frame rate is a irrelevant metric, latency is what matters.

It really has nothing to do with the hardware. As I said, I've had inferior computers in the past, but I've never had any problems with this.
You cannot claim that for certain, as the variables which I've discussed can still occur to you. :)
Have you ever ran CPU or RAM (IMC) stress testing software? For example: GSAT, RamTestPro, ycruncher, OCCT, P95?
You could be setting up your UEFI (colloquially referred to as 'BIOS') settings incorrectly.
You could've degraded your 13700K unknowingly due to incorrect settings.
You could be setting up Windows incorrectly.
Not to mention that you should be using wired USB peripherals & offload audio onto 3.5mm port (ideally no mic for least cycles taken up)

When the problem started, I also had a perfectly good computer, and it happened overnight.
Placebo can be a hell of a drug, not to mention that health deteriorates :)

*but hardware these days is almost just plug and play.......... and a game like cs2. or valorant or fortnite shoud just run fine... without to mutch tweaking.
Modern hardware is the opposite of that.
It's much less plug & play since DDR4 due to the increased signal integrity requirements of higher clock rates.

* The only time it usually runs fine is when I change GPUs. And only the first time.
* also like the other forums most solutions are good for a few hours... or few minutes and then its back
This to me is a typical sign of some form of lingering instability, either in the IMC (DRAM related) or CPU itself.
I strongly suggest going with a X3D and side-band ECC UDIMMs route.

⦁ I'd love to try the power supply mentioned on this forum, but what's so different about it? I understand the components are more expensive and better.....
Switching frequency is moved into >1MHz region, much lower voltage ripple, excellent transient response & excellent EMC.

Do not listen to this troll, just by saying that you need to have a 2,000€ GPU to not have a lag says everything...lmao, I tried one of my previous pre-historic PCs (i5 6400 with gtx 960 2gb) at the other location where everything works fine, and I could play perfectly normally.

Do not assemble another computer - fix your electricity at your house first, or hire someone to do some measures.

Ad homine only makes you look foolish :)
Have you ever opened up a tool like Special-K or read any graphics programming book? Why are you confidently talking about topics you're clearly clueless on?

"Could" :D
Must be fun playing any modern game at max 100fps (with 30fps drops whenever something happens) on-screen with a severe GPU congested queue (colloquially referred to as "GPU limited", leading to severe total system latency increase)

Always inconcrete & vague statements, at least tell him more concrete steps since you've seemingly "solved" your electrical noise issues :)

Funny how you belittle a "600 euro PSU" consideration, a GPU headroom choice (4090/5080), along with a safe barrier (side-band ECC) for data in transit & in idle, yet suggest him a +5k euro (at minimum) house renovation or moving out of his current residence :)
Talk in terms of concrete steps and someone might take you serious :)

Great statistical data based on nothing :)
At least do your diligence and count the number of cases present on these forums before resorting to blatant misinformation :)

I'll use your 'logic' as well!
Number of users who own a system with side-band ECC UDIMMs && visit these forums = 1 (Me, at minimum)
Number of users who own a system with standard UDIMMs && visit these forums = N (N = Current visitors)

Until then, all discussion in regards to this topic is relevant & you end up looking like a fool whenever you type.
As you always do, due to your unwillingness to read into good 1st party resources :)

I suggest this, you might get enlightened by reading something of substance. :)

I'll teach you something, AI bot. By your logic, if a person has ECC memory (like you), then they have no problems. The other 99.9999% don't have this memory, so does that mean they all have problems? Absolutely not. Your logic doesn't work, AI bot.

You're a bot, really. Someone wrote that DPC Latency Checker is an old program, and you jumped on it without even bothering to open it and learn how it works. Instead, you keep repeating the same old thing like a dumb bot.

Absolutely any system, absolutely any settings, cannot break or damage the system in any way, causing it to experience the problems described in this forum. Build a PC, install Windows. That's it. If you're experiencing any display issues, it's an external factor.

Severe logical fallacies
Yet what you are saying is a VERY LIMITED choice of hardware combinations is what is needed to fix a problem that the VAST MAJORITY of people don't have. Are you saying it's logical to assume that that the vast majority of gamers have the correct combination of hardware simply by chance?. Or that the majority of gamers are perfectly aware of your "secret sauce" of hardware combinations while we are not?

There is only one PSU on the market where you won't get these issues? And you say you aren't spreading bullshit.

The problem randomly being fixed at times where you can blatantly see, feel, and experience for some uncertain amount of time, a night and day difference (and don't give me the placebo bs, that word is overused and misused in this topic 99.9% of the time and the other 0.1% of the time is just assumption that placebo is even at play), is it that what you deem to be an inferior hardware combination(which appears to be almost all hardware combinations available somehow, i'd love see your budget and testing methodology that shows this to be true) suddenly deciding to be competant of its own volition across the board for a while, even though it should never be capable of that due to inferiority?

Be logical man.

Edit:
Ad homine only makes you look foolish
Your posts starting with things like this, coupled with what follows, makes you look foolish. It's clear you're trying to appear to have a superior intellect while you just come across as having a superiority complex.
read any graphics programming book?
What? In my case the answer is yes, but why are you even asking this question. It has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.
Must be fun playing any modern game at max 100fps (with 30fps drops whenever something happens) on-screen with a severe GPU congested queue (colloquially referred to as "GPU limited", leading to severe total system latency increase)
Of course it's not fun to play under those conditions. But to go back and test on old hardware and see that everything is more responsive and coherent despite these limitations confirms there is actually an issue and brings it to the forefront. You make out like you are all about the science, yet you are poopooing a legimate testing method here.
Always inconcrete & vague statements, at least tell him more concrete steps since you've seemingly "solved" your electrical noise issues
Why don't you give people actual proof of what you are claiming. Oh, you can't, because you haven't tested every possible hardware combination even though you claim to know the majority of it is inferior. As i said above, show your testing methodology, your results, and I'd also be interested to know your budget to be able to achieve this. To me it sounds more like you don't have any issues so you've deemed your hardware combination to be the "correct combination". In other words, practice what you preach!

Hypocritical.

You're using this as a comeback, but it seems this is actually exactly what you base your logic on XD.

ROFL. All of your logic is flawed, and you indirectly and without evidence infer situations that are statistically impossible. See the top section of this reply.
