Realtek Gaming 2.5gbe Family Controller Network Lag/Delay

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.

maybe its placebo... drivers fix ur floaty mouse? I dont think
With comments like this, the last 3 words are the only ones that matter.

I don't have a feeling that "IT SEEMS" it got better, I feel that "IT BECAME" better. I understand, placebo, I have deceived myself many times, but not this time. I just decided to share information on this forum, maybe it will help someone too. In any case, this is not a change in registry settings, but just a chipset driver that should be installed anyway and one network card setting.
you are right you just update you nic driver and chipset driver to the latest version,but in my case i dont use any chipset drivers and any nic driver i use from 2015,and i can tell you in my case its 25times better ?

I'll try this later on my old 10700kf, see the results and write here. I had this thing, that the mouse was floating a lot, then I rebooted the PC and everything became "SOMEHOW" normal. In my case, it seems that the chipset driver package was not fully installed, after I manually installed the drivers, BAM the mouse became very clear. By the way, I also had problems with sound, for some reason in games the sound was all crumpled as if everything sounded in mono, after installing the drivers, the sound became very wide. I have an external sound card Audient id14 and headphones beyerdynamic dt 1990 pro.

Guys, try limiting EEE Max Support Speed ​​to 10 Mbps.

Here's what people write about this setting on the Internet: EEE max support speed usually indicates the maximum network speed (e.g. 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps) up to which EEE technology can be applied. For example, if you have a switch with EEE functionality and its "EEE max support speed" is 1 Gbps, this means that EEE can only be activated on networks with a maximum speed of up to 1 Gbps.


Now let's imagine that we have a network device, such as a switch, and its specifications specify a parameter called "EEE max support speed". If this parameter is, for example, 1 Gbps, this means that EEE will only work on this device for networks where the maximum speed does not exceed 1 Gbps. If the network is running at 10Gbps, EEE will not be activated and the device will operate at full power without turning on power saving mode.

Wherever I look at various video settings, for some reason everyone always recommends setting it to 1 Gbps or more.

Woow, played a few faceit pugs @level 10 and my bullets seems to be connecting, wtf?
let me play a few more days/week to see if it keeps like this.

Thanks!!

Oh, glad you have everything working as it should. Once I changed this setting, everything works fine for me. By the way, many people wrote about the bad picture, as if you were playing on a 60Hz monitor. I learned something.Recently I changed the RAM on my PC and noticed that when I turned on the PC the red DRAM indicator was on, and then the GPU. I went to the forums to read what it could mean. I'll say right away that the video card and everything else is functioning normally. So, after reading on forums, most of them were related to Display Port cables. On various video cards, starting from the 2000 rtx series and ending with the 5000 series. In general, when turning on the PC, the monitor should be turned off with the button. When the operating system loads, turn on the monitor. After that, you need to switch the output in the monitor settings to HDMI (even if you do not have an HDMI cable connected). Then switch back to Display Port. Voila, personally, my picture is absolutely smooth after that, I am even now replaying Assassins Creed 2 in 59 fps, I would never have thought that 59 fps is very smooth.

depends on the driver/nic
get the newest driver on realtek website just search ur nic name realtek driver make sure eee is on and if u dont have it u can add a registry key in the subfolders in regedit but i doubt it applies anything lol

Your Motherboard has the Realtek® 8111H 1GB.. 1GB Controllers don't have that option as it applies to 2.5gbps+. Atleast, that's what I got from Google and if you think about it, it makes sense on why they have it for higher speeds.

I randomly decided to check if there were any updates on realteks website for my 2.5gbe network controller and there is a new version that came out on 5-28-2025
