Windows 10 Gaming Tweak Gaming Responsiveness

To day i am going to show you guy's and gals how to tweak your windows 10 just for gaming.

 

These setting took me a while to figure out what they do.Mostly they increase your Throughput Lan/Wifi connection.

 

You can all ways revert the settings back to default,If you do not like them.

 

This is designed to improve throughput efficiency of data transmission. Disabling “nagling” can help reduce latency/ping in some games. Nagle’s algorithm is enabled in Windows by default.I have been looking for ways to improve Gaming performance on games.You will see in these steps below that your internet connection will increase.

 

To implement this tweak, modify the following registry keys.

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{NIC-id}

For the {NIC-id}, look for the one with your IP address listed. Under this {NIC-id} key, create the following DWORD value:

 

TcpAckFrequency and set it to 1 to disable “nagling” for gaming.

TCPNoDelay and set it also to 1 to disable “nagling”

TcpDelAckTicks and set it to 0

 

Note: Some reports say that the tweaks did reduce latency when playing Dota 2 and League of Legends but it doesn’t work for some. I have tried it and my latency improved from 110 to 90ms (SEA Server) when playing Dota 2.

 

Network Throttling Index

Windows implements a network throttling mechanism, the idea behind such throttling is that processing of network packets can be a resource-intensive task. It is beneficial to turn off such throttling for achieving maximum throughput.

 

To implement this tweak, run regedit and modify the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile. Under SystemProfile, create a DWORD value and name it to “NetworkThrottlingIndex” then set its Hexadecimal value to ffffffff for gaming and max throughput: ffffffff completely disables throttling.

 

System Gaming Responsiveness

Multimedia streaming and some games that uses “Multimedia Class Scheduler” service (MMCSS) can only utilize up to 80% of the CPU. The “Multimedia Class Scheduler” service (MMCSS) ensures prioritized access to CPU resources, without denying CPU resources to lower-priority background applications.

 

To implement this tweak, run regedit and modify the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile. From there, create a new DWORD and name it to “SystemResponsiveness” set its hexadecimal value to 00000000 for pure gaming/streaming.

 

In the same Registry hive as the above tweak, you can also change the priority of Games. To implement this tweak, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile\Tasks\Games and change the following registry values:

 

“GPU Priority” change its values to 8 for gaming.

“Priority” set to 6 for gaming.

 

I hope this helps you guys.If you feel that your games have continues lag or seem to bog down.The Windows You are using could be Throttling you.Most people don't see it some do.

 

Most people think that it's there ISP that is doing it.Most are not,Most of the time it is Microsoft causing this issue.

 

It took me a while to figure out these settings and what they do.

 

You will see a boost in your connection if you load up your Task Manger.

 

But a fare warning on this.You could use up a lot of your data cap with this if you have a data cap with your ISP.
