This is called experience, I understand that the AI bot doesn't know this.

And you can't imagine, this causes 100Hz delta drops in mousetester. It's simply an incredible coincidence that's hard to believe.

im thought same, but for some reason same core is better, i think it about how gpu driver interrupt usb driver.rekaa02511 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:12why? wouldn't the interrupts from gpu make the mouse worse? thanks for more information

Re: My easy Tips to reduce Input Lag!
And another stupid discussion about "correct" latency testing tools, I saw this trend in other threads as well killing the whole original discussion. This contributes nothing to my post topic. Please from now write only about your perceivable, easy tips to reduce input lag, whether they work for other people, doesn't matter. It is all system and game dependent anyway.kyube wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 12:00Surely, you must know the DPC Latency Checker doesn't work since Windows 7Slender wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 10:55https://youtube.com/shorts/FyiaG6tJzL4? ...

thats metods to check have already been 10 years, idk why someone on this forum not know about it.
Hillarious to see this tool mentioned even in 2025.
Laymen will do everything except learning 1st party resources (ETW-based data, which can be explored with WPA/MXA)

Gonna test it out but would be cool to hear if anyone knows why that isSlender wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:15im thought same, but for some reason same core is better, i think it about how gpu driver interrupt usb driver.rekaa02511 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:12why? wouldn't the interrupts from gpu make the mouse worse? thanks for more information

I've asked this question before here, and I was told that the graphics card driver will always poll the usb.rekaa02511 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:56Gonna test it out but would be cool to hear if anyone knows why that isSlender wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:15im thought same, but for some reason same core is better, i think it about how gpu driver interrupt usb driver.rekaa02511 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:12why? wouldn't the interrupts from gpu make the mouse worse? thanks for more information
Apparently, the latency on the same core is lower than on different ones (c2c latency affected??), in any case, I'll test it on 9700k and 9700x, but on my dead 13700k the difference was very obvious.

Re: My easy Tips to reduce Input Lag!
Definitely not for me on the 10850K. USB XHCI on Core 1, GPU and PCI to PCI Bridge above it on Core 5 (benchmarked), i-225V is set to SpreadAcrossAllCpus because ReceiveSideScaling is set in regedit.Slender wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 14:05I've asked this question before here, and I was told that the graphics card driver will always poll the usb.rekaa02511 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:56Gonna test it out but would be cool to hear if anyone knows why that isSlender wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:15im thought same, but for some reason same core is better, i think it about how gpu driver interrupt usb driver.rekaa02511 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2025, 13:12

Re: My easy Tips to reduce Input Lag!
Mouse and keyboard on different core from GPU:

total duration: 5328
Same Core:

total duration: 4909
With game open, moving the same walk for like a minute and moving mouse around the character.
The total duration for the DPC/IRC went down and the dxgkrnl.sys went down a lot but was it because of the computer restart? don't know.

Re: My easy Tips to reduce Input Lag!
Played a game with them on same core and it felt worse, pc felt more unresponsive in general so I switched back and now it feels better.
