Low DPC Latency Achieved ✅
A low DPC latency was achieved, and i do some tests while recording. Specs are: Windows 7 x64 - largely stripped down, +/- 30 processes running Gigabyte H110M-A motherboard - grabbed USB drivers from Intel (drivers in gigabyte's website are not the latest ones) Intel i7 6700 cpu - always running at 100% 16gb 2133MHz ram memory cheap SSDs for the OS and storage Nvidia RTX 2060 gpu - last drivers for Win7, no geforce experience, MSI mode on Logitech G Pro mouse - without its software. Polling rate = 1000 hz, which i could lower M-Audio Fast Track MKII (usb audio interface) - it does not (and will not) have proper drivers for Win 10 Note to myself / Stuff to try out: - Disable Turbo Boost - Disable Hyper Threading - Disable Speed Shift - Set permanent 0.5ms timer resolution - Try 2 points higher ram latencies - Move network driver away from core 0 - Check hal process and ISR - Prio / Process Lasso, set windows processes to custom affinities and priorities You can try my configuration files for Windows 7 (make a backup first!)
