Is the input delay on Colorful B450M-T M.2 in Tekken 8 fixable?
My moves were coming out late, and in a fighting game, that's basically a death sentence. The USB ports on the Colorful B450M-T M.2 were stuck in a power-saving mode, causing the polling rate to bounce between 125Hz and 1000Hz, which pushed input lag into the 8-22ms range. I wasted money on a high-end gaming controller first, but the lag was still there, which was incredibly frustrating. I finally went into the BIOS, disabled all USB power-saving options, and forced the ports into maximum performance mode. Using a latency tester, the response time dropped from 18ms to a tight 4-7ms. It felt like a totally different game. I did run into an issue where some peripherals weren't detected after the BIOS change, but updating the chipset drivers cleared it up. VRM temps hovered around 55-62℃. The inputs are finally snappy and the feedback is instant.
