Hardware
 
* Monitor
 
IPS panel with 240Hz minimum is recommended.<br>
 
TN has bad viewing angles and color, VA has slow response time and Oled has higher input lag.<br>
 
The response time must stay inside de refresh cycle (1000/Hz) to avoid blur and take full advantage of the monitor's Hz.<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>
 
Asus VG279QM is an excellent monitor. [https://www.aperturegrille.com/reviews/ASUSVG279QM/ Aperture Grille's review].<br>
 
 
* Mouse
 
Any modern mouse should be ok.<br>
 
Sensor should not have smoothing, angle snapping and jitter.<br>
 
1000Hz and DPI of 1600 minimum is recommended. Use only native DPI values to avoid interpolation.<br>
 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AoRfv9W110 Battle(non)sense DPI analysis].<br>
 
Pixart 3389 sensor fills all these requirements.<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>
 
 
* Keyboard
 
1000Hz minimum is recommended.<br>
 
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmS_t3YYy8s EVGA Z20] and [https://youtu.be/UmS_t3YYy8s Corsair K70 Rapidfire/Champion] models are fast but also expensive.<br>
 
 
 
Configuration
 
* BIOS
 
Disable: Spread Spectrum ; Memory Scrambler (only works with ECC sticks)<br>
 
Enable: Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
 
 
* Windows
 
Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options > Untick 'Enhance pointer precision' and leave pointer speed in 6th notch.<br>
 
Network Throttling: (I need to do a test on this)
 
 
* NVIDIA-specific
 
NVCP: Create a new profile for ezquake and disable 'Threaded Optimization'<br>
 
[https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases NvidiaProfileInspector]: Section 'Other' > Max Frames Allowed = 1
 
 
* AMD/ATI-specific
 
* other ezQuake optimizations
 
 
 
Advanced
 
* forcing "high-performance" power profile
 
* force a specific CPU
 
* force specific monitor refresh rate
 
 
 
Issues
 
* Network: lag spikes
 
* Network: packet loss
 
* Performance: unstable FPS
