Hello all who joined.
This is the setup of my system:
motherboard: b550 gigabyte gaming x v2 [last bios]
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x3d [last driver]
GPU: ASUS DUAL RTX 3060 Ti OC V2 LHR [last driver]
RAM: team group t-create 3600 cl14
Power supply: Cougar GEX750

I’d like to discuss some performance issues for both games and the PC overall, and find ways to improve them.
I’m running Windows 10 22H2 – default settings; made a few adjustments such as win32separation, a custom power plan named HybridLowLatency, and some staff configurations with CPU tweaks like pbo, curve, and bclk at 102MHz.
There’s a concern about HPET being disabled in BIOS. In Device Manager it’s still active, but in Command Prompt I see the deletevalue of useplatformclock;usetick;disableddynamictick is set. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
I feel more comfortable with the PC now—it runs smoother and feels responsive. However, over time it seems different compared to when HPET was off. I’ve been reading about system clocks and other staff like TSC, Hpet, PMT... I tried forcing TSC on my machine, but sometimes it still switches back to HPET.
I’m testing the commands: useplatformclock, set use tick, disable dynamic tick. If you know what works, please let me know.
Please don’t mention HPET in the BIOS or Windows settings—it’s just a myth; it doesn’t affect anything. Because I’ve been testing this for about 2-3 months and I’m confident it will help a lot. Still, there are occasional delays when devices respond to the system (keyboard, mouse, headset).

Even with the recent big delay, using Hpet seems quicker than when it was on. I'm not sure how to attach the picture, so I'll just link to it here - https://imgur.com/a/gCua706. Also, I forgot to mention I tried disabling idle 1; turning off pbo and curve, and disabling xmp.
