I've seen many guides for "gaiming/ lower latency/ esports" but many have harmful details with lacking supporting evidence or outdated reasoning like timer resolution. I made a guide to improve aim, system latency, and input lag
BUT, most importantly I wanted a simple guide... This isn't an argumentative guide, but these are basic concepts, proof/data is in links at the bottom.
I just edited a guide I made for personal use. Here is something like I would do,/ currently use
-Turn windows 10 game mode on (search for it in start menu, it's in settings)
-Turn off mouse acceleration in windows 10 by going into "mouse setting" and click "additional mouse options" then click "pointer options" and uncheck "enhance pointer percision"
-Graphics settings on high for .exe's, like games (search for graphics settings in search menu and add them to it)
-Ryzen high performance (In Chipset drivers can be found on motherboards website) is a power option/power plan (this will change if you use follow Process Lasso steps)
-Diable fullscreen optimizations (right click on exe's on desktop and (go into properties, compatability) Fixes windows 10 fullscreen issues/ input delay
-Disable xbox game bar (search "game bar settings" in start menu) (everyone agrees this is trash)
-Install Process Lasso and enable performance mode (in main setting) and set games to high priority (literally right click on an exe. in Lasso) (download) https://bitsum.com
Don't use AMD anti-lag or NVIDIA low latency unless you are GPU bound or use it if your GPU is going above 95% utilization is a game. (source) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CKnJ5ujL_Q&t=636s
-Don't screw with any timers or cmd edits they are outdated tweaks.

OTHER USE FULL NOTES
-New drivers have a E-sports mode that enables AMD antilag, sharpening, and changes tessellation. Antilag and sharpening are usually not good.
-Sharpening usually makes games look terrible (overwatch)
-Cap your frames! FPS or framerate is directly related to input lag, the more fps, the less input lag. more below (ideally 144hz display)
--If your fps is all over the place, your input lag or frametime varies giving you inconsistent input lag which will hurt your muscle memory!
