I had that issue, but i fixed it with some dpc/isr regedit tweaks. if you wanna test, heres what tweaks ive applied,Slender wrote: ↑13 Mar 2025, 23:28i don't actually have numbers, it's just that my mouse feels "freer" on 8125 than on i226. But then again, it could just be placebo. Maybe because i226 and usb use wdf01000, they compete for cpu time.Tuhin Lavania wrote: ↑13 Mar 2025, 23:218125b better than i226 in what ways if you dont mind telling ?Slender wrote: ↑13 Mar 2025, 21:09u can try use another driver.wum wrote: ↑13 Mar 2025, 14:27Yeah, I figured as much, but I'd need to buy a new mainboard, too. On my current one the only empty PCIe slot is blocked by the graphics card. Also I don't think there's a µATX mainboard where the "main" x16 slot is below another smaller slot, or is there? So I'd need a new case, too. Both are components I only recently upgraded.![]()
for realtek there is 2 variants:
ndis.sys and wdf01000.sys
for me, my external 8125b work a lot better then internal i226
WOOOOWWWW!!! OH MY GOD! THANK YOU!!!Ku6epgeg wrote: ↑23 Mar 2025, 05:42I came across this topic by accident. I also have a built-in realtek 2.5, and I also see a delay in CS2. I bought a 1 GB realtek usb and it has the lowest input latency with Windows 11 drivers. I don't understand why this is so, the usb card lacks settings such as interrupt moderation and flow control, as well as receive and transmit buffers - 16 and 18. Can anyone explain why this is so? Why is the delay minimal on the usb network card? And it is on windows 11 stock drivers. If you install the latest realtek drivers, then flow control appears and the receive and transmit buffer is already getting 37, CS2 is starting to get worse. So the best option for me at the moment is a usb 1gb realtek on windows 11 stock drivers.
Hey! I bought the same ue300 usb ethernet dongle. What driver version you have? And what js the beast settings in device manager?Master_Tinkerer wrote: ↑31 Mar 2025, 16:12WOOOOWWWW!!! OH MY GOD!

I bought a TP-Link UE300 USB ethernet dongle and it's really important to use the oldest drivers possible that get automatically detected at first (before any updates are applied and newer versions are added). I think I finally fixed my input lag after all of these years, I can finally hold angles on faceit. Thank you so much <3
I think it's better to leave the TCP/IP settings on default, for some reason it's worse for me when I disable all of the offloads.
did you try it out yet? How does it feel?dermodemon wrote: ↑02 Apr 2025, 05:13Hey! I bought the same ue300 usb ethernet dongle. What driver version you have?

Is it beneficial for everybody to uncheck msi mode for the realtek gaming 2.5gbe family controller? I own a intel(r) wifi 6 AX200 wifi card, would I need to uncheck msi mode for it also? I attached a screen shot of my msi mode settings, if anything seems wrong or inefficient, please lmk.
Definitely better than realtek. But with MSI mode unchecked and high priority. Less ferarri peeks and so onRandomguy007 wrote: ↑02 Apr 2025, 06:19did you try it out yet?
