Windows: Line-Based vs. Message Signaled-Based Interrupts. MSI tool.

Notes to identify some of audio and video devices.

Select device in MSI utility v3, see "Instance ID" property in "Device PNP properties" group.
It looks like "PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_522A&SUBSYS_10001458&REV_01\4&633C680&0&00E0".
"VEN_NNNN" part contains vendor ID (where "NNNN" is sequence of hexadecimal digits in upper case).
"VEN_10EC" is Realtek
"VEN_10DE" is NVIDIA.
"VEN_8086" is Intel
"VEN_1002" is AMD

In case of videocard one PCI-E device has two functions - video output and audio output.
So you will see something like (in "Device PNP properties" group):
- "Location : PCI bus 0, device 26, function 0" - for videocard;
- "Location : PCI bus 0, device 26, function 1" - for "High Definition Audio Controller";
- and you will see the same "VEN_NNNN" parts in "Instance ID" for both.

 

Did you also noticed improve in other games than FF7? I tested it in like 10 other games and they are more smooth also less stutter when loading something.

 

New Motherboard and CPU. Any tips on this?

 

Just enabled MSI mode on the 2060 and if you want the Nvidia HD audio (look up two post for info picking that one out from Realtek or other HD audio controllers.

 

Guys is everything is correct with my system? Thanks!

 

You can switch both High Definition Audio controllers to MSI mode.

I see 3 storage controllers - 2 SATA and 1 NVMe. Are you sure you use all of them? If not it is better to disable unused ones in BIOS.

Also I see 2 network controllers - I210 Gigabit and I219-V. It is better to disable unused ones in BIOS. Generally speaking I219-V is old one but if you use it then switch it to MSI mode too.

 

Hi dude. Can you look those too.Thank you.

 

You better use newest version of MSI utility, because it shows more correct/full information.

 

i210 is on a CPU lane, supports 4 RSS queues.
i219 is on the PCH dedicated ethernet port.

imo, you'll never notice a performance or latency difference from the NIC being on the PCH vs being on a cpu lane.

 

@Astyanax i think same latency and perfomance no change something

 

How about that?

 

@mbk1969 i have Intel i219v and Aquantia 10G i dont know what is better for gaming?whats your opinion?

 

We see that all devices work in MSI mode.
Also we see that network card uses 32 IRQs, which is useful only on servers. You can limit number of IRQs either to "1" or to CPU cores number. And test network after.

 

I am not an expert on network cards. Also any PC configuration is unique combination of HW, FW, SW and user chosen settings/tweaks, so any device can work better or worse in your rig.
My point is to disable unused devices. So choose one controller by your impressions.

 

If the Aquantia is an AQC107 make sure you have the latest firmware from Marvel along with the driver which you can grab from Marvels website here

@Athlonite https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-rampage/rog-rampage-vi-extreme-model/ this is my mobo you can check i think i have AQC107

@mbk1969 one is pci express with MSI-X support and intel i219v MSI only

 

It does not matter for you. Only server scenarios can benefit from MSI-X.

 

@mbk1969 yeap!!!!!i think i feel better on intel for gaming using maybe because he has asus languard but i dont know how can messure this
