Hello everybody, I'd like to ask for help on finding the cause of mouse delay and short stutters in games, because for fps games accurate and fast mouse movements are the biggest advantage over enemies. I've done clean windows 10 install yesterday (formatted both SSD and HDD). Haven't installed a single program besides steam and 2 games. Windows update installed everything it needs. Haven't installed any drivers from motherboard manually and I can really say that Microsoft drivers made significant improvement on how the mouse behaves in game such as cs go, over the ones from asrock. However, Im not sure if my pc is optimized for best performance without the custom drivers made specially for my motherboard. My computer -> CPU: Intel i5 4690 GPU: GTX 1060 3gb RAM: DDR3 Kingston HyperX blue 2x4 1333mhz cl9 MOBO: ASROCK H97M Pro 4 HDD: WD BLUE 3.5 1TB 7200RPM SSD: Corsair Force LS 60GB PSU: Cooler Master Thunder M 620w CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper evo 212 Mouse: Logitech g402 Monitor: Dell p2314h 1920x1080@60hz Both processor and video card do not reach over 45 Celsius while gaming. Things done to solve the problem: 1. Disabled xbox dvr 2. Switched between balanced - performance mode in battery settings. 3. Newest NVidia drivers 4.

LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:17:34 (h:mm:ss) on all processors. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYSTEM INFORMATION _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Computer name: DESKTOP-BNDSOFC OS version: Windows 10 , 10.0, build: 14393 (x64) Hardware: ASRock, H97M Pro4 CPU: GenuineIntel Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50GHz Logical processors: 4 Processor groups: 1 RAM: 8127 MB total _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CPU SPEED _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reported CPU speed: 3499 MHz Measured CPU speed: 1 MHz (approx.) Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results. WARNING: the CPU speed that was measured is only a fraction of the CPU speed reported. Your CPUs may be throttled back due to variable speed settings and thermal issues. It is suggested that you run a utility which reports your actual CPU frequency and temperature. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event. Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 936,791864 Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 2,623720 Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 916,59860 Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 0,917977 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ REPORTED ISRs _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal. Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 196,412975 Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0,179504 Driver with highest ISR total time: dxgkrnl.sys - DirectX Graphics Kernel, Microsoft Corporation Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0,223668 ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 1150640 ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0 ISR count (execution time 500-999 µs): 0 ISR count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0 ISR count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 0 ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ REPORTED DPCs _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution. Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 867,317805 Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: ndis.sys - Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS), Microsoft Corporation Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0,073889 Driver with highest DPC total execution time: Wdf01000.sys - Kernel Mode Driver Framework Runtime, Microsoft Corporation Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0,307659 DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 3990422 DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0 DPC count (execution time 500-999 µs): 37 DPC count (execution time 1000-1999 µs): 0 DPC count (execution time 2000-3999 µs): 0 DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution. NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit. Process with highest pagefault count: svchost.exe Total number of hard pagefaults 9640 Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 2392 Highest hard pagefault resolution time (µs): 196781,727922 Total time spent in hard pagefaults (%): 0,247774 Number of processes hit: 32 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ PER CPU DATA _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CPU 0 Interrupt cycle time (s): 38,413287 CPU 0 ISR highest execution time (µs): 196,412975 CPU 0 ISR total execution time (s): 9,416753 CPU 0 ISR count: 1148344 CPU 0 DPC highest execution time (µs): 867,317805 CPU 0 DPC total execution time (s): 11,751447 CPU 0 DPC count: 3745557 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CPU 1 Interrupt cycle time (s): 12,160050 CPU 1 ISR highest execution time (µs): 129,933124 CPU 1 ISR total execution time (s): 0,013212 CPU 1 ISR count: 2069 CPU 1 DPC highest execution time (µs): 455,830237 CPU 1 DPC total execution time (s): 0,416407 CPU 1 DPC count: 80144 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CPU 2 Interrupt cycle time (s): 10,810138 CPU 2 ISR highest execution time (µs): 16,331523 CPU 2 ISR total execution time (s): 0,000848 CPU 2 ISR count: 227 CPU 2 DPC highest execution time (µs): 523,629608 CPU 2 DPC total execution time (s): 0,380425 CPU 2 DPC count: 73708 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CPU 3 Interrupt cycle time (s): 25,135746 CPU 3 ISR highest execution time (µs): 0,0 CPU 3 ISR total execution time (s): 0,0 CPU 3 ISR count: 0 CPU 3 DPC highest execution time (µs): 509,720777 CPU 3 DPC total execution time (s): 0,423984 CPU 3 DPC count: 91050 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sorry for making several threads, the few others were really messy.
