Linux section is a mess. Someone clean it up?


WORK IN PROGRESS: JUNE 2023

Hardware

  • Monitor

IPS panel with 240Hz minimum is recommended. Avoid TN, VA and Oled.
The response time must stay inside de refresh cycle (1000/Hz) to avoid blur and take full advantage of the monitor's Hz.
Rtings has some reviews. Order them by rise/fall time.
Some monitors have a fast enough response time but at the cost of ghosting. Take that into account.
Asus VG279QM is an excellent monitor. Aperture Grille's review.


  • Mouse

Any modern mice should be ok.
Sensor should not have smoothing, angle snapping and jitter.
1000Hz and DPI of 1600 minimum is recommended. Use only native DPI values to avoid interpolation.
Battle(non)sense DPI analysis.
Pixart 3389 sensor fills all these requirements.
With 1000Hz+ mouse and keyboard you should use separate dedicated usb chips. Easiest way is with a PCIe USB card.


  • Keyboard

1000Hz minimum is recommended.
EVGA Z20 and Corsair K70 Rapidfire/Champion models are fast but also expensive.


Issues

  • Network: lag spikes
  • Network: packet loss
  • Performance: unstable FPS

Advanced

  • forcing "high-performance" power profile
  • force a specific CPU
  • force specific monitor refresh rate

Configuration

  • NVIDIA-specific
  • AMD/ATI-specific
  • other ezQuake optimizations
