device to save power”.
● Disable NetBIOS over TCP> back into properties> click on IPv4> click properties
at bottom right of window> Advanced > WINS tab > Disable NetBIOS over
TCP/IP > Uncheck “Enable LMHOSTS lookup” > Press OK
● Properties> Configure> Advanced

○ Protocol NS Offload > Disabled
○ Receive Buffers & Transmit Buffers > Have to fine a sweet spot “A lower
value will results in dropped packets and decreased performance
however a higher value could result in increased buffering during certain
workloads”
■ If you have low memory, start with 80 on both and work your way
up. If you have plenty of memory, anything 512 or higher is fine
(Intel recommends 2048 (max) for gigabit ethernet).
■ Make sure to have both values the same (this most likely won’t
affect connection too much so don’t spend a bunch of time on it. If
you are getting packet loss at low values, increase the value.

12.1 Set devices in MSI mode with MSI Utility V3
12.2 Set affinities to your devices with Interrupt Affinity Policy Tool
This step can lower your fps if you choose a bad core, so if you aren’t
going to test yourself, skip this step.
● Interrupt Affinity Policy Tool> intPolicy_x64.exe > Run as admin
● Set Affinities for your GPU and USB Controller.
○ To find the Location:
■ Device Manager > View > Devices by Connection > under your
“PCI-PCI Bridge or “PCIe Controller” you will see your GPU.
● Right click > Properties. On the general screen, you will see Location:
● Match up the Location info:
○ (for example) PCI bus 1, Device 0, Function 0.
● Click Set Mask.
● Do not set mask to example shown in video, you need to test yourself or skip
● If you have hyperthreading, only set the mask to even numbers
● For USB Controllers, Follow the same steps as above.
If you have more than one USB Controller
○ Check which one your mouse and keyboard are plugged into by Device
Manager > View > Devices by Connection and unplug your mouse and
keyboard separately and plug them back in. It will disappear from the
devices when you unplug and will return when you plug it back in.
Tip: You can check your affinity with PCIutil by Bored or Interrupt Checker by Melody
13) Timer Resolution
● If you have 16gb+ or just do not care to clean memory:
○ Run Timer Resolution.bat
● If you have less than 16 gb of RAM or you run many things in the background
while gaming (Discord, Chrome) use ISLC or Danske’s memory cleaner
● ISLC:
○ Set “Free Memory is lower than” to half of your RAM.
○ Set “ISLC Polling Rate” to 10000.
○ Check “Enable Custom Timer Resolution”
○ Set “ Wanted Timer Resolution” to 0.50.
