fluctuating mouse polling rate? FIXED

Which version of windows are you using? As I understand it, these are commands related to changing the system clock. Will this have an effect on win11?

some commands i put into CMD
what commands did you use?
bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformtick
bcdedit /deletevalue disabledynamictick

*reboot pc after this, and ensure you run CMD as admin*

this put my fluctuation down from 500+hz, to about 20.

the following was put into CMD run as admin, which reduced it even further, to only 5hz max in fluctuation.

bcdedit /deletevalue x2apicpolicy
bcdedit /deletevalue tscsyncpolicy
bcdedit /deletevalue uselegacyapicmode
bcdedit /set nx OptIn

then add this one
bcdedit /set useplatformclock no

and reboot again.

after talking to him, he posted a thread about it aswell, referencing my forum post here to explain the issue

Doesn't work on WIN11 or I never had these set in first place

works on windows 11... i use win11 myself, if you didnt have any of the values in the first place, then this is not the fix you need, if you have the same issue as i had

these are related to some system clock stuff, i use win11 myself, and could already feel a huge improvement just by deleting the first two values. i believe most of these values are added through "system optimization" videos on youtube, or through someone who does it as a paid service.

the instant i restarted my pc after deleting the first two values, i could immediately feel a huge difference

Thanks for sharing the commands, will try these later. I just tested my mouse and it also has a fluctuating mouse polling rate. Damn :(

Do you think that if the polling rate is not constantly 1000Hz, this has a noticeable negative effect during aiming? Especially with smooth tracking, i.e. with slower movements (shots miss etc.) or is that something that can be ignored for this area?

What's the point in 500 Hz, almost no one uses it. How about 1000Hz?

500 does and always has felt better than 1000.
On paper 1k should be better and visually it is, but 500 felt like it had a better balanced x&y.
No idea why.

Sorry to revive this thread. But am I understanding you correctly, that your Polling Rate does not go under 450 HZ while using 500 HZ when moving your mouse very slow? I don't understand how that's possible.

So does it mean that if my polling rate is unstable, my aim will also be inconsistent? really looking to fix this.
