Latency Issue

Question

I have been having latency issues when ever I start up a video game, no matter what the game is. Some games are worse than others and I've been looking every where for a solution, however with no such luck. Any assistance in this matter would be extremely helpful. Bellow is that information for the test I ran on LatencyMon. Everything up my computer is running the most up-to-date drivers.

CONCLUSION

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.

LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:15:00 (h:mm:ss) on all processors.

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): 7163.0

Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 28.662662

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 2096.30

Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 9.034859

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): 4764.905333

Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 565.90 , NVIDIA Corporation

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: systemsettings.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 1006

Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 530

Number of processes hit: 17

Answer 1

Hello, Ryan Bilock,Welcome to Microsoft Community.  

Thanks for your feedback, Based on your description, it sounds like you're experiencing lag while playing games.

I noticed you shared some LatencyMon findings, and it seems like it offered you some suggestions for improvement. Have you tried any of them? Like updating your BIOS, for example?

Disclaimer: If you are going to modify BIOS Settings, please back up all your personal files first to ensure you do not lose data.

Also, since you're using an ROG Strix motherboard, there should be corresponding control software. You can check the motherboard's manual to set it to high performance. If you're not sure how to do it, you can reach out to the motherboard manufacturer.

If my understanding is wrong, please point it out, so that I can assist you better.
