This is one of the best Tweaks that exist. Enabling MSI mode for the GPU usually boosts the minimal FPS quiet heavily, so you get less stutters. I made some tests and for me this tweak boosts the 0.1% and 1% by about 20%, which is insane...

I really appreciate your content. I followed the instructions of multiple videos here and improved my gaming experience absurdly. You should really release a single, longer video with all the tweaks on a logical sequence, so anyone who needs to do everything from scratch can follow chapter after chapter.

3:47 to skip the BS and get to the setting

Going to try this now on my gtx1070 which has been kicking ass for 5 years and got a clean the other day. To many more years! Thank you!

bro, you're a legend. I was playing the finals was getting 80 fps max dropping to 50 sometimes, now getting 100 + with no drops.

I am a PC optimization NUT! I love this kind of content and very much encourage it. I already knew about this optimization, but did not know the risks of setting msi to "high" instead of the more balanced and efficient default setting "undefined". Thank you for educating me on that, and I'm glad I can now game even more confidently X)

the algorithm is with you my friend.. nice tip. will check it out!

Ty for the awesome tips keep up the good work mate!

Definitely helped my latency. Less hit markers now, thanks.

Using a 4070 and an i7-9700k. Enabling this made a huge difference to my system, particularly to 1% lows. My low end frame rate in cyberpunk went from 56 to 64. edit Jan 2024: TLDR the difference was likely not due to turning on MSI but Win 11 upgrade. I have a 7800X3D now. After further testing I don't think MSI was what caused this difference, I think it was upgrading to Win 11. I had done about 100 tests under Win10 testing different system variable changes doing at least 5 runs for each setting. The Cyberpunk benches were always very consistent so I never bothered running a baseline test before enabling MSI even though I had upgraded to Win11 in the meantime. After reinstalling drivers and MSI turning off I re-ran the bench several times and then re-enabled MSI. The results were almost identical. Based on this it looks like the improvement was due to Win11. A few driver revisions later started automatically enabling MSI so the point became moot. I realise the rig I had then seems unbalanced but the CPU was really only an issue in Dogtown for cyberpunk or cities for Starfield. I have a 7800X3D now so no framerate drops in cities.

Thank you so much, I was having issues for about a week I tried everything I could find on google or KZfaq, I tried this & now it’s running better then ever, thank you so much !

I have a legion 5 with a 3070, had TERRIBLE microstuttering until I found the guru 3D forum too and did basically the same thing in the video, glad to see a biggish channel covering it!

I've got to be honest I've been chasing lower frame times for months, and this wasn't the silver bullet that I was looking for, but I noticed a huge improvement, and my games play a lot smoother now.

Thank you for this. I am running an AMD Radeon RX 580 and this feature was already activated and set to undefined. This card is still performing amazing well even with all newer games.

I did this from your older video and just happened to go back into the setting to see and low and behold... it was not turned on any longer. I have no idea how or why it turned off but I'm glad you did this vid again. I'll be checking the setting once in a while from now on.

At 5:18 it still shows IRQ at 54, which means it is NOT running in Msi mode. Msi mode IRQs have a minus in front of it.

That feature wasn't applied to my recently purchased RTX 4070. It was opposed to what you said down here. I'll definitely make observations as to how things are going to change but it seems to be a right step into the right direction. Thanks!

Undefined, interesting. I am using this for about three years or so with high interrupts for the gpu and never changed it again. I am gonna give it a try with my 4070 ti.

thank yaaa ur channel helps a lot

@panjno i love how detailed your vids are ty for all the time you put into your vids

actually insane thank you for this! On a GTX 1080 and went from 60-70fps to 80-90fps in cyberpunk on the new 2.0 patch!

Reading through the comments it looks like the RX6xxx cards already have this setting on at default. I wonder if that's down to AMD cards having less CPU dependency than nVidia, where it seems to make more sense for nVidia to have this setting off so the GPU could lean more heavily on CPU compute cycles to boost the GPU. Not sure if anyone has done that test though.

Really good video you helped me alot :D keep it up

thx again panjno! im gonna try this one

Also enable msi on audio controllers. It will get rid of popping and cut outs if your suffering that

Hello, thank you for the video! My 4070 GPU already had the MSI already ticked! But I appreciate this amazing content!

That transaction to the ad was so clean

This is a good tip just know any AMD gpu has this already enabled by default if the card is in the 6000/7000 series, I haven't tests 5000 series.

Ur so reliable thanks

yo this made cs2 run buttery smooth for me, thank you so much Panjno

Love the video mate thanks a lot

Might skip on that one, as it is made clear that there's a chance the affected device may stop working until MSI is disabled if it turns out to not be compatible - but if you have no onboard graphics you won't be able to turn your PC on to disable MSI back, bricking your windows... Edit: I enabled it anyways without having an iGPU and it still booted, YOLO lol

I used msi mode enabled and set to high for my USB port where my controller is plugged in. Made my controller so much more responsive

MSI mode is a new version of IRQ addressing, not all boards properly support this mode for certain devices and can in fact cause your system to not post requiring you to reset the bios and to use restore point to undo the setting.

been struggling with starfield running at between 30 - 50fps constantly jumping about now with this one tip (after trying 100's of 'fixes') its running at 60fps smooth as butter even in the cities thank you

I'll do this to my new used PC I recently bought, that has 1060 6gb and i5 7400!!!

when i looked at this I saw in the msi app that my irq was at -53, I see yours says 54. Can you say why my number is a minus number compared to yours. Thanks

RTX 3070 on zephyrus g15 2021 already enabled. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. They've been quite the blessings.

Glad to see Ghost Spectre already have it enabled. Meaning nothing much I need to do.

I'm sure this is a good tip and it's working for other people, but I seemed to get worse performance. Witcher 3 ran perfect with MSI off but stuttered after turning it on. 5950x/4090/Win 11.

I have a 3080, MSI was already enabled and set to High, I set it down to Undefined just to be safe, because I cant remember if I changed this setting or it was already set.

god damnn i just did this and there is a huge differents i love it my pc got as fast as light only love for u my guy!

thanks alot for this video it really works,, new subscribe😊😊😊

Already enabled on my 6800xt. Was worth a check and happy to know it was already enabled

Thanks my 3080ti had this setting enabled already - so many settings - never saw this one before.

The first time I watched your video this helped me so much Thanks

I run a 4070 super , it was already enabled thanks to your custom driver debloated guide

gtx 1050 ti and it was already enabled and on high then I changed it to Undefined as you said. Thank you bro. Can you also do next time the best Settings for Nvidia Control panel specially for Valorant players like me? I really wish I can be the best gamer even if im using 1050 ti and Ryzen 3 hahahaa

You need to test by setting it to undefined and setting it to high for me setting it to high was the best result

you're a legend panjno

My 3060 TI was already enabled and running on my system, thanks I'll remember this for my other systems

had an asus 4080 and it was NOT automatically enabled so BIG THANKS to you for showing this!

I was actually surprised at the impact this had on performance. Especially in just visual fluidity. Rtx 4080

It actually worked.. ThanQ!

very good video bro! Thank you very much. Does this not cause any wear on the gpu? Is it due to high energy consumption or high temperatures?

I'm using Radeon RX580 and it's already checked and set as Undefined. Thanks.

In Starfield at least, I ended up getting worse performance. Indoor areas were perfect for me in Starfield, but there was noticeable stutter after I turned MSI on. I’m using an overclocked 2080ti if that makes any difference. It could be that only 30 and 40 series cards get a boost from this.

for 30 series and 40 series gpu don't stress for downloading the tool cuz it's already enable by default

Thank you! Checked my gpu and it was on.

my rx580 already had this enabled, would it be worth testing some games with it off to see if theres any improvement?

I stumbled across this video and checked for MSI for my GPU, which was on. However, I noticed my audio drivers had MSI disabled. For around two years now, I've dealt with periodic audio latency, popping and dropouts. Sometimes bad enough to ruin the gaming experience, prevent me from watching videos on KZfaq and even playing songs downloaded on my storage drives. I've tried to fix it many times, and had some degree of success (haven't had the video/song issues for a while). I have upgraded nearly every component in my rig since these issues began, with only my C and D drives remaining. I did some quick reading before enabling MSI, and it appeared it would help.. So far, it has completely fixed the issue! I want to say thank you for introducing me to the MSI utility because that indirectly helped me rid of my plague for years!

This is very good for 1% lows on my RTX 4080! I'm impressed!

Thanks a lot bro helped me a lot

RX5700XT here. The option was indeed checkmarked. Thank you for the video and tip sir.

Confirmed. Was off by default for RTX 4060. Legit gave an increase of around 10-20% fps in 1440p gaming (at least between Armored Core 6, Remnant 2, and Forza Horizon 5)! So… any downsides to leaving this turned ON?

This setting resets to the default every single time you update the drivers

nice video, subbed :)

So I have a gtx 1070 and I’m playing LSPDFR with a lot of plugins and this actually boosted my FPS, from 55-60 to 65-80 ( Also having installed NVR with all optionals and Quant V )

The yapping is over 9 thousand

Sadly, I must report that changing this setting has made no statistically significant difference to game framerates on my system. I can only conclude that my GT710, stuffed to the brim with 2GB of DDR5, is so powerful that it has no need of such footling tweakery. I'll leave it switched on though, just in case... 😀

do you have to re-enable this setting per gpu driver update, or will it remain on until turned off?

I'm a 90's baby. What happened to putting a game in the console and just loving it? Now, we fight for bandwidth, FPS, graphics settings and more! lol But thank you for the guide! Will try this asap.

Unending yapping...when he could have tell everything in 2 min

For someone who talks about 'debloating' you have an awful lot of it stuck on the beginning of your own video.

Is it recommended to do that on a gaming laptop? I have strix scar II with an RTX 2070

3090Ti & 5800X3D here - this setting was already enabled upon inspection. Still, didn't know about this utility. Thanks for the info m8.

pretty bad thumbnail, it says +latency, you do not want more latency lol

Big fan of your work

Is this by chance doable on an onboard video card? Surprised you didn't state that. (I personally have a 3090 or I'd just attempt it myself).

Hey Panjno, been following your videos for a few years now and only realized now I wasn't subbed yet... I'd like to know how are you able to run Starfield at 150+ on a 4k display? I know you're on a 4090 and I9 13th but still, I run the game with a 1440p display at 80fps at best (first location drop off on Kreet) using a 3080ti I7 12th, 32gb ddr4 game installed on m2, already got myself some mods to make the use of DLSS and i'm not having a good time honestly..

Gosh there seems to be a lot of fast-talking filler to get through to actually get to the content.

these tutorials are for tidepod eaters, i hope you all like reinstalling windows if you are following this guy lol

I use gtx 1660ti and msi wasn't applied already, so I applied and this gave me ~+30fps boost))

RX 5500 XT here, MSI mode on this GPU is already enabled. Thanks!

Let me know YOUR results, specs and if MSI was enabled already or not below!

What is the setting this relates to in ur Nvidia Driver Debloat guide? Whats it called in that? Aka the alternative way u were saying?

what are the odds we have the same gpu😅anyways great video and thankyou for making it quick and simple

I thought I had this enabled from a while back. I've had several nvidia updates via NVclean install since and msi was off. Which option should I turn off or on the NVclean installer to make sure this doesn't happen? 😊

i am useing an 2060 and msi was not on for me thx! for all your nice videos Panjno You are a legend

is it hard to give us full optimization video with the latest tweaks ? just asking

I will try this out. I'm having issues with my game play (COD) where it freezes for a second during play. I hope this will fix the issue that I'm having. I will keep you updated on the results.

this may a bit off topic, is Opera good now ? the last time i used it, it flooded with bugs.

My gigabyte rx 6800xt 16gb already has it enabled. Thanks anyways. Keep up the good work

Holy, thank u so much! I got 10 more fps on my gt 430 and my games stopped these micro freeze's

Dam that actually fixed fps stuttering, ty a lot

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is already done on 30 series and 40 series cards by default with newer NVIDIA drivers aren't they?

Is this for all NVIDIA brand cards or specifically MSI brand?

Just out of curiosity, does this interfere with AMD SAM/Resizable Bar?

I would imagine this helps PCVR as well? Most games are good but having a hell of a time getting MSFS to be playable on a 3080ti

Great video, as it boosted fps on my PC but can it work for integrated graphics on a laptop??
