Mythbusting PC Tips for Boosting FPS and Reducing Input Lag: Part 2

[@Vintagesonic1]

This mythbusting series is an absolute god send. After you've finished testing everything, you should make a video on the actual things that increase performance.

[@nexus4dev]

Upgrade your GPU & CPU

[@oxheehee]

@@nexus4dev facts, modern hardware that you get nowadays would rarely benefit from things such as "window tweaks" outside of game specific settings. if you wanna get better performance, get better hardware or overclock (at your own risk)

[@XleboMatbKPE]

buy another SSD and install linux on it and make it so in GRUB you could select between windows and linux boot-ups. I had a really bad problem with Lego City Undercover on my windows cuz it averaged about 45 fps with really bad stutters, but after I switched to linux I had the 60 fps with 0 stutters. I use Arch btw

[@Reapavon]

there isnt really much that can increase performance, only har ware and the native game setting can increase it

[@arithex]

Ideas for more things to test: - Win10 vs Win11 :) - Hyperthreading on vs off - G-sync (VRR) on vs off - MSI (message-signalled interrupts) for the NVidia driver .. a NVCleanstall thing - MPO (multiplane overlay) support on/off .. note, this will need specific hardware support

[@encryptedzeeshan]

I really want to see Win 10 vs Win 11 :D

[@Sph_611]

cool ideas

[@samuellee2862]

Intel vt too

[@MultiTheGamerman]

Hyperthreading gives different result depending on the CPU. Testing it on a single system is not gonna be enough to give concrete results.

[@pjf674]

Nvidia Reflex

[@TotalImmort7l]

Man this channel is a goldmine of information. Can't wait for you to grow fast!

[@sourceeee]

Genuinely well put together videos that get straight to the point, deserves so much more views tbh

[@Norbinax]

nice testing but can you test it in more e-sport titles for example CS2 or Valorant? in cs2 you could use the dust 2 benchmark map and start capframe x like 1 second after map starts and 1 second before. Would be glad to see the difference between 0.1% and 1% with all the tweaks and not. I feel like these changes may speed up but in less demanding titles with higher fps. Idea for next video - custom power modes

[@tristaen-lol]

I would also love to see it with esport titles

[@iamadiduzz]

WE NEED A PART 3! Thanks for this bro. This is huge

[@francispulot7061]

This has been very helpful with optimizing my laptop by mythbusting some common pc tips. I hope you'll make a video about some settings that actually increase performance!

[@Gaetan.N]

This series is very informative and there should be more people spreading thhese. What would be awesome in a future episode is more validated tips, and some sort of wrap up of what you actually benefit from tweaking when you boot up a fresh new windows install

[@spookytv4044]

An absolutely great video, would love another part!

[@orwennesfh4813]

The Nvidia App overlay definitely affects FPS, and I always got 6 less FPS in Cyberpunk with it enabled.

[@Zorcky-2C]

Interesting. Disabling steam overlay really helped in my case. I was heavely CPU bottleneck in Hunt Showdown, running the game at 80fps. -Disabling Steam overlay + disabling full screen optimisation (right click on [game].exe) gave me a 10fps to 20fps boost

[@biohazardx07]

I also gained FPS that way with BF 2042 and other CPU Intensive games ( i don't have a great PC right now)

[@ThisIsAUsername69]

Enable HAGS if your CPU is struggling but GPU isn't. It'll offload some bits of work to the GPU. But do be warned, it messes with recording apps like OBS.

[@Symeeen]

Id be very curious to see what the results would be if you were to combine all 'myths' from both parts. I think perhaps the improvements that you wrote of as too little to be bothered might actually add up into something worth tinkering with.

[@wiadran_]

finally someone that really want to help people, not just get views by copying options from some old ass articles

[@iSauronx]

What about the option ultimate power mode ? You can add it by using some tools. Do the test on this one please

[@serszei]

It’s bad

[@TheScure]

RS Siege is like the ultimate game to test on. I think if we apply all these, there is actually a nice amount of performance boost for it

[@kignznui]

Straight to the point. I liked it.

[@Szefittooo]

I'm waiting for part 3

[@arithex]

I really expected OWG (optimizations for Windowed games) to have a more measurable benefit, for latency -- you may need to run FrameView or PresentMon to verify it's in effect.. there are a lot of conditions and caveats attached to it.. like, I think it's DX10/11 only, and your windows desktop color bit-depth (and SDR/HDR) has to match exactly what the game is rendering.. and no overlays, unless your system has sufficient MPO support.. not sure what else. But if fullscreen-exclusive vs borderless-window wasn't showing any difference, then there may be something wrong with your testing methodology. Input lag is difficult to measure, with only software tools.

[@Doctor12900]

you just got a new sub my friend. your a goat for testing these lies.

[@Tenelia]

there was an old youtuber that once tested all of the "performance" settings against all of the "defaults". I think it's really only apparent for laptops, where every 0.5% improvement matters due to thermals and power. Wonder if that holds true today?

[@pred1993]

Would love if you could test in CS2! (I recommend the map CS2 FPS BENCHMARK in the Workshop for good comparisons). Would be great for us FPS players to know what is snake oil or not! :) Great job so far!

[@sebastianbelu1417]

the animations in Windows help, but not in gaming yet it does in windows and if u have an older pc it can help a lot

[@drikiwow]

fullscreen optimazion on vs off, cpu 0 on vs off, (ISLC) on vs off, process lasso on vs off, gpu msi mode on vs off, DPC latency Chekcer on vs off etc, you can test these tips, thanks for your videos 😊

[@kristijann1886]

Idea for testing: Windows transparency on vs off

[@mslmbr0]

Huge thanks. Great job ❤

[@PiiinaaaT]

hey, maybe u can test also: - Windows fast start ON/OFF - ULPS ON/OFF - Core Isolation ON/OFF :)

[@Hold_Onz]

I do set the appearance settings on performance bcs I like them like that ( I keep smooth edges on ofc ), never saw an improvement from using it, since then I started ignoring it whenever someone recommends to use it

[@blisssights]

Hello, bro! Try to disable hpet, set globaltimerresolutionrequests to enabled, then try to set timer resolution timer to 0.500, use different programs for example iscl doesn't work how it supposed, then measure fps, frame time, stuttering and latency, your gaming experience will change immediately. I did a huge research, this works for ALL amd cpu for some reason, idk why so few information about it, but your pc smoothness will increase dramaticly.

[@JakobSkarin-l5t]

I don't know if you could make it work. But I'd love to see a comparison for monitor settings and monitor cables.

[@arnavkumar7910]

note : high performance mode forces your CPU to run at full clock speeds even if your PC is idle.. if your CPU doesn't reduces it's clock speed then it can become very hot.. always use Balanced option..

[@santiago18101]

nah bro test it, cpu only runs at 100% when playing games

[@zephh_sk]

Ending the Windows Explorer process through task manager

[@Lively-Shiro]

can u do some for amd?

[@user-gs9br6ih2n]

Could you do a mythbusting video on if debloated nvidia drivers increase performance?

[@NathanAmiet]

For you next video, can you do G-SYNC on vs. off vs. on w/ 236 fps cap?

[@chippyshorts3558]

Competitive games such as Valorant, Cs2 gsync should be off. Higher FPS = Lower latency e.g 240 hz monitor and locking 20-50 frames above. G sync matches frames to the hz of the monitor think of this scenario 240hz monitor with g sync on and you run into a high processed game frame/frames and it drops to 170 for a few seconds the delay/latency will be significantly noticeable. I have a 500hz and currently lock FPS to 600-750 in game and it’s stable in the range I reach an average looking up with no bots 1150-1300 3070 stock besides fan curve, i9 12900k 5.1ghz, 32gb ddr5 6k mhz with windows debloated manually TLDR Competive FPS where every ms counts no g sync off, beautiful games like eldin rings etc absolutely.

[@_tingExE]

Have you tried the core isolation ? I saw a lot of videos that it improves input lag

[@CodeDeltaCQB]

We need a part 3

[@Real_A0]

make one about nvidia 3d settings each section

[@clownz5137]

i really wanna see the difference between low latency mode on or off

[@donkatsu18]

Do you have the one with gpu scheduling, cpu scheduling something in regedit? its bundled with sysresponsiveness etc.

[@zlnanglo]

testing power saver while lmiting the gpu max power? doesnt it increase the power in the highest performance but you have it capped? doesnt it up more when you do not cap it

[@Lukeyduke0912]

0:01 can someone tell me what this game is please it looks like fun and I wanna play it

[@Qersoras]

The Finals .

[@Lukeyduke0912]

@@Qersoras thank you so much

[@D1ETER_]

Can you test message signaled interrupts vs line based interrupts.

[@sourceeee]

I'm curious to see whether disabling core security features like core isolation, memory integrity, CFG, secure boot, tpm 2.0, etc. do for gaming performance cause I've seen discussion around those settings degrading gaming performance for ppl

[@trichommaster]

Awesome videos thanks

[@afxtwn126]

Please could you also test whether using GeForce Experience/Nvidia App's graphics optimisation settings for games improves or makes performance worse. Thanks.

[@llll7FPS]

thank you so much for making these vids

[@xPYEL]

Nvidia control panel Gpu scaling or display scaling Which is better

[@dbeh7447]

Power Options make a big difference on laptops

[@tantannn9977]

It does help with latency and frame time stability but the heat thoughh💀

[@p0worejtih]

can you also please test with te previous median steam pc? like gtx 1070 and i 7-770K

[@melihtopcu97]

Are you sure that limiting your hardware yields the same result, as having worse hardware?

[@apexguru6244]

what about regedit in system profile(gpu priority,scheduling ) and cpu unparking..i would like to find out about that too😁😁😁

[@I.LovePierogi]

Everyone is saing to disable gamebar to better performance. You can test that :D

[@markuspunkt7318]

Good Job !

[@hff7904]

Whenever I turn on High performance in control panel on my desktop CPU clock speed always stays at 4ghz is that safe? but in balanced it fluctuates CPU : i5 12400F

[@tantannn9977]

setting it on High performance keeps your cpu running at 100% speed while in balance it adjust to what you are doing.

[@NJJRS]

Hi There...I'm confused, in what world are you only getting 69 avg FPS in Siege? That doesn't make any sense especially with your set up (fps should be much higher), which brings the accuracy of the rest of the video into question. Can you provide some insight?

[@kxmachina]

I severely limited the performance of my PC, details in the description.

[@NJJRS]

Oh wow, okay got it. What was the intention behind that methodology of not running the PC to its full potential? (I'm asking to learn the thought process and potential benefits, not critiquing)

[@kxmachina]

Trying to simulate having a lower performance system, since those usually benefit more from optimizations.

[@pettysteak]

On the next one can you do page filing I think it's called

[@Loomynated]

pagefiling is actually neccessary... i dont know why anymore but without it pcs run pretty fast into problems

I just found this video again. And I'll say it again. It's for the same build. But usually people with 3080's and 13th gen i5's have almost no need for optimizations. If you tested on a potato. Now that would be a scientific thing to do.
