| − | * Monitor
| |
| − | IPS panel with 240Hz minimum is recommended.<br>
| |
| − | TN has bad colors and viewing angles, VA has slow response time and Oled has higher input lag.<br>
| |
| − | The pixels response time must stay inside de refresh cycle (1000/Hz) to avoid blur and take full advantage of the monitor's Hz.<b>what does this mean? how to check? do you mean to check the link below?</b><br>
| |
| − | [https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/motion/motion-blur-and-response-time Rtings has some reviews]. Order them by rise/fall time.<br>
| |
| − | Some monitors have a fast enough response time but at the cost of ghosting. Take this into account.<br>
| |
| − | [https://www.testufo.com/ghosting#background=004040&separation=160&pps=1080&graphics=bbufo.png&pursuit=1 UFO Test] shows how your monitor responds so you can select a proper overdrive setting.<br>

| − | * Mouse
| |
| − | Any modern mouse should be ok.<br>
| |
| − | A good sensor should not have problems such as smoothing, angle snapping, jitter and DPI deviation.<br>
| |
| − | 1000Hz and DPI of 1600 minimum is recommended. Use only native DPI values to avoid interpolation.<br>
| |
| − | '''Example products:''' Pixart 3389 sensor fills all these requirements.<br>

| − | [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AoRfv9W110 Battle(non)sense DPI analysis].<br>
| |

| |
| − | Note: with 1000Hz+ mouse and keyboard you should use [https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7618 separate dedicated usb chips] or a PCIe USB card.<br>

| − | You can change Windows power plan to High Performance while playing QuakeWorld and restore its value back to Balanced when finished.<br>
| |
| − | Open command line and type powercfg -l to see their GUID. They should match the ones below.<br>
| |
| − | Devices interrupts go to cpu0 by default. Excluding it for ezQuake will improve fps and stabilize frametime. [https://bitsum.com/tools/cpu-affinity-calculator/ Cpu affinity calculator] shows you what hexadecimal value you need to set in the cmdline after the /affinity (replace the word HexVal with the value you got from the calculator).

| |
| − | If the gpu jumps from max frequency to boost frequency often it will cause stutter. You can check this using [https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner/graphics-cards MSI Afterburner]. If this is the case you can lock the gpu at boost frequency but it will consume more electricity since it won't step down. Type gtx or rtx in the search below.<br>

Mouse readings could improve if you isolate it. Usually the least used cpu's are the last ones. With Hyper-Threading you need to assign physical cpus rather than logical ones. USB devices can't bet set individually.<br>
