Question Latency problem with the wdf01000.sys and ndis.sys ?

Hello.

When I tried to run the game eFootball on my new PC with all new parts, I immediately got these huge latency values.

Also, in-game I get micro stutter when scoring a goal (I mean at that specific moment).

PC Specs:
MB: ASRock B760 Pro RS (with the latest BIOS v.11.01)
CPU: i5-14500
GPU: RTX 4060
RAM: 32GB Kingston Fury DDR5-5600 (4800)
SSD: Samsung 990 Evo 1TB M.2 NVMe 4.0 x4/5.0 x2 (latest firmware)
PSU: Seasonic B12-BC-650 650w

Please, help me to solve it, I'm really disappointed at the moment.

What I've tried
  • changed the XMP profiles in the BIOS
  • turned off the E-cores on my CPU
  • disabled iGPU
  • disabled Rebar in BIOS
  • re-installed Windows 11/10 (currently have 10 because it's better for gaming in my case)
  • disabled hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows
  • changed the MSI mode for GPU and Audio driver
  • disabled/enabled hyperthreading
  • updated the Network drivers

But none of that helped.

Just to compare: when I played "The Finals" I got 0 latency issues and 0 stutters, yet this game is much more demanding than "eFootball" ?

Hello!

It sounds like you’ve already tried a lot. Here are a few more things that might help fix the stuttering in eFootball:

  1. Lower the Game Settings: Reduce graphics options like V-Sync and effects.
  2. Limit FPS: Use tools to set your FPS lower than your monitor's refresh rate (e.g., 140 FPS for a 144Hz screen).
  3. Turn on Performance Mode: Change Windows and NVIDIA settings to “High Performance.”
  4. Close Other Apps: Turn off extra programs like Discord or Steam overlays.
  5. Check Game Files: Make sure no files are broken if you're using Steam.
  6. Audio Issue: Try using headphones or a different audio output.
For a helpful online calculator, check out https://thedentaku.com/ I hope this helps!

reset bios by jumper
reinstall nvidia and Intel drivers

reinstall lan drivers
which drivers are installed?
is Your internet connection stable
These steps did not help me.
I have stable connection (that's cannot be the reason as i clarified that i have the stutter at the specific moment)
I have 0 audio issues.
I have these network drivers (latest): https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584
I have latest Nvidia Drivers and same for Intel.

For moderators: thanks for editing my post without asking.....

intel rapid storage and management installed as well?

might be a game related bug

check game files
From what I've checked, I see that this driver is for 9,10,11th gen of Intel CPUs, I have 14th.
It says that my system is not supported.

I can confirm that bug is not game related (however the game optimization is very bad). I've asked on the game forum and no one had this issue. The issue described in the Reddit thread you sent is not actually what I have. After the goal I see the stutter but don't have any problem with the players.

The game files is actually fine, double checked them via Steam.

So, as a result, I don't have any idea what else I can do.
It's something with the network driver (from what I've seen in the latencymon) but I can't find out what exactly.

check with cpu-z or similar, if something is throttling at the time of the stuttering

eventually firewall or antivirus involved?

Just tested for the throttling, and I didn't had it there (this screenshot was taken after I played the game)

I have enabled the Firewall for the game (access granted), also I have only Windows antivirus.

maybe gpu power limit?
Actualy there's 115W as a limit for it (actual GPU usage), I've seen it takes up to 120, so I don't think it's about limit.
I would like to know what can cause these stutters from BIOS, except XMP. Since I've tried all possible things within Windows. I have these stutters in other games too (but they're random).

Here's what we tried to do:
1. Install the latest Nvidia and Intel drivers
2. Turn off/on V-sync and G-sync
3. Change XMP profiles in the BIOS
4. Turn on via different HDMI and DP cables
5. Set the FPS limit to 120 instead of 240 that the monitor supports
6. Disable energy-efficient cores and C-cores energy-saving support
7. Disable graphics on the processor (although the cables were always connected to an external video card)
8. Enable/disable Rebar in the BIOS
9. Turn on/off Adaptive sync on the monitor
10. Used Process Lasso to increase game prioritization and overall system efficiency.
11. Turned off virtualization on the processor
12. We monitored the temperatures of the processor and video card (the processor never exceeded 53° and the video card never exceeded 72°, i.e. there was no throttling)
13. Set MSI priorities for the video card through a program called MSI Utility v3.
14. Updated the network driver (because the latency in LatencyMon was too high)
15. Changed the cache for shaders to 10GB
16. Performed a clean driver installation via DDU.
17. Disabled Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows 11.
18. Reinstalled Windows (11 and 10, currently using 10).
19. Tested the RAM with MemTest86: 0 errors.
20. Updated the BIOS to the latest version.
