Linux section is a mess. Someone clean it up?
WORK IN PROGRESS: JUNE 2023
Hardware
- Monitor
IPS panel with 240Hz minimum is recommended.
TN has bad viewing angles and color, VA has slow response time and Oled has higher input lag.
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 mouse 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.
Note: with 1000Hz+ mouse and keyboard you should use separate dedicated usb chips or a PCIe USB card.
- Keyboard
1000Hz minimum is recommended.
EVGA Z20 and Corsair K70 Rapidfire/Champion models are fast but also expensive.
Configuration
- BIOS
Disable: Spread Spectrum ; Memory Scrambler (only works with ECC sticks) Enable: Extreme Memory Profile (XMP)
- Windows
Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options > Untick 'Enhance pointer precision' and leave pointer speed in 6th notch.
- NVIDIA-specific
- 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
