Does Dpc latency influence PC gaming?
The games im worried about are battlefield 1 and v. Again ive seen conflicting info on whether it can be an issue and affect smoothness in these games, and this specific mobo has been mentioned. With some mentioning its unusually high latency which has been shown in reviews that checked it.
It largely depends on the game, as you noted. CPU-dependent titles will experience more issues. Battlefield is definitely a CPU-dependent title. I've observed high interrupts or DPC latency leading to microstutter, often triggered by Corsair Cue 2 for RGB effects. Also, malfunctioning USB devices can cause similar stutter by overloading the CPU with interrupts.
I would just suggest ASUS and ASrock boards. MSI and Gigabyte have had too many problems.
The alternative would involve a strix z390 e priced at 70 dollars higher and a maximus hero costing an additional 100 dollars.
I’m curious about why gigabytes 390 models exhibit such high DPC latency during tests. Could it be related to a bios problem, driver issues, or ram latency?
I would need to conduct some investigation. The possibilities range from hardware to firmware to software, all of which might lead to high DPC. It could relate to the firmware (BIOS) on the board or how components are set up. RAM and cache latencies also play a role.
Maximus hero is consistently an excellent option! Congratulations! This will be beneficial for your peace of mind.
