Yeah, I'm not going to try to argue 1000Hz over 500Hz. I question the usefulness of 1000Hz myself. However, I do think that I see the difference between the two when I pan with my mouse around as smoothly as I can. 1000Hz seems to be less jerky when I'm doing this (in an ideal scenario when it's...

Okay, good to know. I guess I'll see how I do with USB 2.0. I wish that I could objectively measure average polling rate between 1.1 and 2.0 in game, as going on feel isn't going to be as convincing to other people reading this thread who are dealing with similar issues.

Yeah, raw input definitely feels better overall. I'm assuming that this is because the Windows step is eliminated - reduced workload for the CPU and more accurate translation of mouse polling? I honestly don't have a firm understanding of how mouse polling works. I suspect what's happening...

I promised I'd be back, so here are some pics of LatencyMon with everything (seemingly) sorted out: In order to reduce the hard pagefaults I was getting before, I ended up having to replace Windows Defender. Avira seems to be working really well for me so far. I also replaced my SteelSeries...

YEP. I'm very thankful that this is the only real issue I've had to deal with. I wonder how long I'm going to get away with being on the X58 chipset... @OG buckshot jr @up-n-atom @Sushicutter @Thanatos thanks for your help guys!!!

Just a quick update. Long story short - the PCIe to USB card arrived at my place today. I installed it, updated the drivers from the website, and disabled the USB controllers on my motherboard. I can now confirm that this is one way to resolve the usbport.sys issue (or it's a good work around...

Good idea, but it had no effect on usbport.sys. EDIT: Just so everyone is on the same page, I'm going to leave bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes just like that for now, and I've also enabled HPET in BIOS again, but this time in 64-bit. I've been reading that HPET is only used when needed for...

I actually don't have a spare drive, to be honest. Otherwise, this is definitely something that I would do. Regarding the IRQs, I basically just moved my USB devices around so that they don't conflict with anything else. It turns out, for example, that one of my USB controllers shares a line...

My bad. Yeah, I'm going to get one ASAP. I'll report back when I've tried it.

I mean, I guess I could try reverting the BIOS to F12 from F13, but that might cause other problems. Gigabyte dropped support for my board long ago. I'm not even sure how I'm running Windows 10 at all, and with only one driver related issue, too! I even have all of my USB devices on separate...

Possible work around - purchase a PCIe internal USB 3.0 card and completely disable USB 2.0 on my motherboard. But what drivers would I use for the card? Not sure if this would work.

No worries, man. I'm very busy myself, as I'm supposed to be studying for finals and finishing up an assignment. I think a lot of people could stand to benefit from this thread if someone here comes up with a solution. I honestly don't care if it's me who comes up with the solution or someone...

I've been posting on Windows Ten Forums, if anyone wants to follow along. Haven't really gotten anywhere, though (I come in on page 4): http://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/45544-problem-compressed-memory-process-4.html

If you're anything like me, you'll obsess over any problem you come across to the detriment of everything else around you. I wouldn't recommend it, lol. Here are two screen captures taken after 1 minute of running LatencyMon. This is idle, keeping my mouse completely still: This is a second...

First of all - thanks for your help. If you have any ideas, please share them. I really appreciate it. In the OP, I probably should have listed everything that I've already tried, but there are TONS of things that I've already tried. It's getting pretty ridiculous, actually. I've previously...
