Question What settings should I use for my ethernet

[aloner]

Hello!
I have a i7 9700k
32GB Ram DDR4

I was wondering wondering what settings should I use
like what Jumbo Packet, Receive Buffers, Transmit Buffers

If anyone could help me thank you!
I play competitive fps such as valorant I want the best ping possible

My download is about 1.5k down & 60 up

For competitive FPS games like Valorant, low latency is important. Some suggestions to improve latency include disabling Jumbo Packets, enabling and increasing RSS queues, and increasing transmit and receive buffers 1. However, it is important to note that most TCP traffic patterns work best with the transmit buffer set to its default value and the receive buffer set to its minimum value 1.

Thank you for the reply! I checked my settings I dont have options to disable Jumbo Packets it just has values I can put on. I have 1514 idk if thats default. I updated my driver I dont have RSS queues also my current receive buffer is 2048 transmit buffer is 2048

Leave it all on the default. The connection between your pc and the router is less than 1ms there is nothing you can really do to reduce it you can only make things worse. When you don't understand what parameters are doing you really need to just leave them alone.

For example things like jumbo packets are only used on your lan the internet does not support them. If you change this value all the now jumbo packets must be chopped up into smaller packets. This puts a lot of overhead on things like your router and can cause slowness.

In general there is nothing you can do about the latency it is mostly out of your control. It is mostly related to the distance between you and the game data center. The path your data takes is controlled by the agreement between your ISP and many other ISP in the path. Your only option is to send and receive the data on the connection you purchased from the ISP anything past there is up to the ISP

Gamers seem to believe lots of myths that seem to get copied and pasted to gamer forums. Small difference in latency say under 50ms will make almost no difference in a game. The game takes the difference between players latency into account so that someone that lives close to the data center does not get a advantage over someone who lives farther away. In effect it adds artifical delay to the person with the lower latency. Now this only works to some extent it can't fix say 150 or 200ms of difference....but that depends on the game some work very well at those high latency for people that do not have a server available closer.

What is key is your latency must be consistent. Small spikes here and there of even 30-50ms tend to not cause much issues.

In the end you are already doing the best thing you can by using ethernet rather than wifi. Be careful about what other traffic you run at the same time...ie do not do huge downloads when you play games. Your bandwidth though seems high enough it would be hard to exceed it unless you do something really stupid.

The defaults, and then leave it alone.
