If the Start Menu (or Metro in Windows 8 ) appears, then it is your mouse! You can always test by hitting the Windows key. I wonder how many people think it is their PC, when it is really their mouse that is acting jerky. That is all it takes to make a wireless mouse less than responsive. It isn't obvious unless you saturate the bandwidth of an 802.11g channel, with a file copy or something. Why this is not a hot topic I have no idea, but there is some serious interference going on, as I said. I wouldn't know, I go with traditional mice, and - yes - I do keep them inches from the receiver due to the WiFi interference problem. They do sell special gaming mice for big bucks, but whether they are really better, you tell me I suppose. Though that is all completely on a limb, as is the premise that a mouse need be hacked to perform better p. If it can't, then increasing the frequency could create artifacts (defects) in its message stream because it has not yet processed the most recent signal.
If it can, then one would think it would ship with drivers that would set the appropriate frequency. I don't know that the optical processor in most mice scans at more than once every 10ms or not, so whether the mouse can keep up with the changed frequency is a matter of debate. You could hack a mouse or keyboard drive scan frequency I suppose, though I've never heard of a need to do so before now. That is why I recommend disabling it in your highest performance power profile, then switching power profiles as desired.
This may be because the average Joe is so different from a hard core PC user (e.g. Yes, core parking benchmarks have been surprising and show fairly clearly that is tuned too aggressive for most hard core users. Just need to know that core parking is affect when gaming?(single task) or gaming+browsing+music+downloading etc(multitask)Īnd overhead for the Core Parking? So the data need to wait more time after the kernel process which core is need to park and allocation of the threads? So it is a big thing, just see that after the browser start using it with 4ms(6ms by default when the Timer resolution is not set as 1ms), the performance increase.įor NTP also, I think they are happy when GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime() is added to windows 8 too.īy reading their test, the core parking is affecting the gaming performance.īut they need more test with Fraps, the rendering time for every framesīTW, I think it also affect the DPC delay too, as it can process more faster by jumping into another core to process ASAP. Intel also start using it(with core parking also) to let the processor going into deeper C-states with more time. Timer resolution, it is also changed in windows 8, with more interval, and you can read some affect to gaming in the Guru3d topics.īut it also can be saving power for laptop, and the most important one, tablet.
(like the download speed is 2Mbps, but the WiFi speed is only 512Kbps.), it need the ACM QoS.
It affect more when the receiver is the Smart Phone with a p2p software.īut it can't fix the buffer problem.
I am not with the WiFi mouse that having this problem, so I can't do research without the hardware.īut I am using the RTS (Request to Send) to fixing the problem for the WiFi network, when bridging with other AP(same channel), Yup, the WiFi interference is the biggest problem for WiFi mouse(WiFi too), but it is ok when the distance between the mouse and the receiver is just <5cmīut it is strange when many people has tried to fixing it with changing the WiFi channel, receiver etc, but fail to fixing it too.
The mouse is 125hz(8ms) for normal mouse, but it can be hack the driver to 500hz-1000hz(don't try it with a bad mouse, as I having a mouse that become weak after hacking it.)įrom 125hz(8ms) to 500hz(2ms) is a big changing for the mouse, and the respond of the mouse too.īecause the mouse can send the information more faster, and changing this will getting the mouse accelerate more faster as the information is getting more.īut I don't know it will adding how many overhead for game process. Sorry for off topic, because they are testing the core parking in the topic also.īut I think the mouse having difference timer, as I set it as 1ms(1000hz), but it still work as 1000hz when the system timer resolution is 15.6ms.
