Best Deadlock Graphics Upscaler for FPS and Delay 🚀 I tested upscalers specifically at 1440p. If there's enough demand, I will test for 1080p as well. DLSS CNN, 2x. Best one overall for visual clarity with decent FPS and 3.7ms latency. FSR2 TAA, 2x. Provides same FPS as DLSS CNN 2x, however a lot of shimmering appears on objects. I wouldn't use it. Stretch at 70% render resolution. Gives best FPS and second best latency at 3.4ms. However some might not like "starry" / pixelated image. Stretch at 55%. Provides best latency at 3.1ms (because GPU usage is down to 82%). FPS dropped slightly compared to 70% render resolution, even testing it a second time showed the same result. DLSS Transformer, 2x. The worst performing one even at 2x resolution. ✅ In conclusion, DLSS CNN, 2x has the best of both worlds: image quality and FPS. If you are chasing extra frames, consider stretch at 70%.

Ye, might be losing absolutely ZERO performance 🚨
🚨 NVIDIA Users Your GPU might be losing FREE performance Here’s how to check ⬇️ 1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel 2. Go to Help → System Information 3. Find Resizable BAR 4. Make sure it says Yes

🟩 Nvidia App Overlay + Recording Settings Make sure to set your desired recording resolution and the quality. 🔴 Having bitrate at 20k+ for a 1080p 60FPS video is not only tanking the performance, but makes the record file way bigger. Use AV1 encoder for better video quality as well as lower file size. Before using it, verify that your editing software supports AV1 format.

🎯 Benchmarked my own MSI Mode and Interrupt affinity tuner app. It sets devices to different cores, so the interrupts never get stalled on the same core. The result is higher FPS, smoother mouse feel, lower DPC latency. You can grab it from my Patreon (link below)

🧪 I tested most used FCLK frequencies used for AM5. Average increase of 1-1.5% FPS in Deadlock going from 2000 to 2100 MHz FCLK. 2200 MHz was unstable. Audio disappeared after 10 minutes of playing and showed no increase in 1% and 5% FPS. Valorant didn't scale much. 🧵 1/2

Memory benchmarks like AIDA show better results, sometimes up to 4ns less latency, but in reality the gains in games are not that substantial. ✅ get your PC optimized for lowest latency and highest FPS at discord.gg/ERvwkMsVpz 🧵 2/2

🐭 Updated Endgame Gear OP1 8K V2 Settings for Competitive FPS 1⃣ High DPI for consistent 2KHz polling rate even on small mouse movement. Switched from 4KHz because the variance was way higher on polling rate tester vs 2KHz 2⃣ Sensor Angle tuned specifically for me. 🧵 1/3

Settings for buttons. GX Speed Mode for best latency, make sure it doesn't double click. If it does, fall back to GX Safe Mode. Same goes for wheel and side buttons, 2 is the setting where I started getting double-clicking.

🛑 OVERCLOCKS ARE KILLING YOUR PC 🛑 That's what most people think and I'm not gonna lie it's for a reason. Most of the overclocking screenshots posted on Twitter as a "client's optimization result" agenda show really high voltages for no reason whatsoever. A thread 🧵 1/4

The second reason is the lack of time put into stress testing. There's a lot of error correction on AMD platform in particular as well as Intel. To validate an overclock, you need to spend 10+ hours in 1 stress test and then use other tools just to make sure. A thread 🧵 3/4

That's why, I'll be focusing on releasing an overclocking guide for AM5 for different RAM configurations. It will be aimed at stability and performance. The guide will be ready in a few days on my Patreon (follow to stay tuned) patreon.com/c/CatGamerOP A thread 🧵 4/4

Razer website to tune sensor's angle - razer.com/eu-en/technology/m… 3⃣ Motion Sync is worth testing out, can switch on and off. 4⃣ Angle Snapping - Off. Artificially straightens your movements. 5⃣ CPI Downshift - Force Off. Only for 7500+ CPI, on 3200 it does nothing. 🧵 2/3

6⃣ Smoothing - Force Off. Lowest level of smoothing. Endgame recommend setting it to "Ripple Control Off", default PixArt sensor behaviour. Readup - xbabtech.com/blog/smoothing/ 7⃣ Force Max Sensor FPS - On. Faster processing. Update the firmware in their Discord Server. 🧵 3/3

Firmware v1.10 (and Software v1.07 for the new feature setup) setup is finally available to download for OP1/XM2 8k v2 on our EGG Discord server: discord.com/invite/endgamege… This update gives a slight performance increase across the board with SPI clock increase and tuning options.

🧪 AMD AM5 Bank Refresh Modes Benchmark. Normal vs Mixed 🎯 Normal showed 7% better 0.1% FPS while delivering the same 1% and 5% results as Mixed. Mixed mode often causes instability on anything that is not Hynix memory chips. For Samsung / Micron normal mode is advised.
