Jero, I want to know how much of this is bullshit. Lots of people are claiming to get quite a performance boost.....some people say its complete shit. Its hard to know what is real and what isn't. When I see things like turn off raw input because of any reason I tend to just ignore the rest. If some of this is real, this could benefit a lot of people.

Why? What's wrong with what he says? Can you elucidate for us?

Yeah, some of it sounds like major bullshit. Literally, MICROSECONDS of difference for some of the tweaks. Too many people claim it had no effect and was entirely placebo, or it was based of this guy that on a monthly basis comes up with some way your computer is lagging behind so you should change this sata cable or this sata cable or do this tweak instead of that tweak. Jero's word is golden to me.

Most of it is good information. The part about disabled raw input exists ion the "Optional" section of that guide. I have already done 90% of these steps trying to fic my problems.

Drivers should be updated unless a problem occurs with the latest versions. DPC Latency is a game killer. It is important to figure out what is causing it if you have high DPC latency. General giveaways are stutter and sound lag. LatencyMon is a good simple program for testing this.

Well yea?

All useful if you want maximum performance and dont care about heat or power. These recommendations are in our guide as well. However for the average user setting Windows Power to High Performance is enough. Disabling C states can be dangerous if you lack cooling(and have alarms off in BIOS).

I don't know what this is...

My CPU does not have HTEP option. Have not tried. It seems easily revertible.

Setting IRQ for video cards is unneeded nowadays. Would not try as you need to do a system restore if it fails.

Do this step!

You don't need to disable USB3.0 ports, just don't use them for peripherals. Use them for storage devices only.

Even though there is a section that says "not optional" the snd_ commands are very optional. The rest is pretty standard.
