In your case, doesnt it always work? In my case, it works perfectly the first time, but everything gets worse after playing for a while... I've tried absolutely everything... I have to leave the PC on the desktop for about 30 minutes, and when I come back, the problem is gone. It can't be EMI in my case.

Yes, I understand that, but what's so special about my room?

I guess I'll try that, but I don't think moving the PC a few feet away will make any difference, other than the fact that I had the PC in the same place as it is now the whole time, I didn't have the problem.

I apologize, English is not my native language.

I also bought a 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery and was successful, but I discovered a few things along the way.

When my battery arrived, the first thing I did was charge it by plugging it into the wall. This gave me a smoother picture, but the input lag was still present somehow. I read in another post that an online UPS disconnected from the grid gave different sensations depending on the time of day it was recharged. This made me suspect that interference was somehow infiltrating the battery and affecting it in some way.

The next step was to go to my brother's house and recharge the battery there. He doesn't have any power issues at home. The next day, I went to get my battery, connected the inverter, and then my PC, and WOW! The input lag is gone. Everything works perfectly, 100% responsive, and my PC feels super fast at all times.

Now I'm saving up to get a hybrid inverter and a 500W solar panel to recharge my battery.

Nowadays, it's very easy and cheap to set up a 100% off-grid system.

Don't lose hope :)

You can also get 2 batteries and charge one from another without having to charge it somewhere else.
Somehow second battery gets way less 'noise' that way
