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

i didn't know that, understood now

so, may i uninstall them? (i'm using 2 pci slots on my mobo: 1 PCI-E 16x 3.0 for GFX + 1 PCI-E 1x 2.0 for sound card)

i installed Intel RST Driver during Windows 8.1 installation (clicking in Load Driver in this screen > hxxp://i.imgur.com/OA8EGIS.jpg )
this > hxxp://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23496

is that what you mean? or you mean the INF:
hxxp://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=20775

INF i don't installed, i have to?

right, i got the exe


and what about the "bcdedit /set" optimizations? have to change something? or left default/untouched?

 

You can disable them first (to check). You can switch Device manager to view "Devices by connection" to be sure that no devices dongle at bridge.

You have to. Fisrt - chipset drivers, next - RST

All those strange devices could be eliminated by inf installer.

I wouldn`t...

 

Please to explain? ie msi at 1 vs 2.

I have put into MSI mode what I can. Even tho my machine is only PCI-e 1.0, it allowed me to switch over most PCI devices but my USB, which is only 2.0.
I use HPET enabled. There was no measurable latency improvement. But it certainly did not hurt.
Just wondering what else I can do for online mmo gaming improvement.

 

So guess I can keep all alone then?


It was already enabled by Nic, Sata, IME and main usb host

 

ok, i have installed INF and disabled useless devices


i have to install Intel Management Engine Interface (9.5.15.1730) too? > gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4483#dl
*i don't know its purpose


and as i use iGPU only for record gameplays, can i install Intel VGA Driver doing this > tny.cz/623d6fbe
instead install by run .exe ? (it's because i don't want any "extra" - Intel Control Panel, etc. - only want the "raw" driver)


Thx and sry for my poor english

 

for IME you need only driver part, small file 9.5.24.1790

http://station-drivers.com/index.ph...nterface-(MEI-HECI)-Version-9.5.24.1790-WHQL/

update it via devicemanager, not through installer or it will install some useless junk xD




Edit: Just noticed exe command instead of regedit, tnx.
Guess i'll try it for pcie, gpu and sound

 

Still alive lol, worked ok

 

Does your audio work, cause when I switch my creative driver to msi mode I get no audio.

 

Was just about to edit my post,

yeah XFI doesnt like it, no sound.

 

-Tj-, also try turning on MSI-mode for 'High Definition Audio Controller'. It is Nvidia Audio, coming from GPU.

 

Also if you actually use Asmedia SATA controller you can try to tweak it too, because I see both of them share IRQs (16 and 17) with another devices .

 

"So download the latest IMEI drivers from Intel's website, open the EXE with WinRAR or 7-Zip, and extract the Drivers folder. Inside, you'll find a subfolder containing HECI.inf, and that's what you can install using Device Manager."

this is it?


Thx

 

Upgrade?
Direct connection to the game server?

 

I have it "disabled" in audio control panel, dont use it. I think it won't make a difference or will it?

Hm ok will try, although im not using it, only for dvd-rw. Tnx

Edit: nah not good, it disabled basic ATA channel0, 1 and says device couldn't start.


@lllFATAL1TY

Its up to you which you want, I just showed you the latest version.

I updated mine via device manager, just extracted main folder and then pinpointed that in IME "update driver..."

 

It has IRQ (17) shared with other devices. To avoid the sharing you can disable it or switch to MSI mode. Other devices will be glad.

Out of curiosity - have you installed latest Asmedia drivers? This MSI mode is no big deal.

 

I tried some new v2.0 once but it could bsod, so I reverted to old 1.04?..


Yeah I enabled hdmi anyway.

 

If they work don`t bother. Ancient wisdom - if it works don`t touch it.

 

When you set MSI in regedit ?(as ms recommend)in most occasion it reset said component .so make sure you have a way to remember your personalization.ya its like starting fresh .what I recommend ?dont touch anything but those that can read and write simultaneously!set those enabled(1)and max message to 2 should be plenty(CPU ,GPU mostly )sorry if I don't repeat the step ,it was covered in all possible ways in this thread ,if I recall I even supplied ms link.

PS:about the Intel software (rst or whatever)read their advice in there!one of them :if you update something disable rst first.which will likely need a restart!

My wisdom:clean install at the end or start of gaming season (and use ms tool to keep your setting if you use windows)

 

Not needed.
Its an internet game, 350 players real time.

But the question is, what does using the value of 2 do concerning the MSI adoption? Its not MSI-X. I manually input the registry for all possible pci devices.
LAT Mon 6 has ISR values at 25/- pico secs.

or maybe I misunderstood where/how the value 2 is being applied.

Not a programmer or developer. Just an enthusiast. Did the initial MSI adoption several weeks ago. Didn't hurt, wondered about 2?

 

It was humor...


Don`t waste your time on other MSI mode aspects tweaking. You should optimize network stuff. And also get rid of unneeded applications/services running on background.

Heve you browsed Von Dach`s thread?
