A complementary tool for ISLC.


It allows to precisely adjust the timer value

Nice one. Maybe I could include this in one of my tool or even ISLC itself.

Interesting discussion about Timer, HPET ...

The impact of HPET commands is not the same with Windows 11, Windows 10, ... and worse, depending on the versions of Windows

It is also very dependent on hardware architecture (Old PC, newer PC)
In fact, you have to test

Hi all,
Great. Looking for various tools and use on Windows 11, Windows 10. Maybe need to look into the impact of HPET paramet

Timer Benchmarking tool


The author

I got AI to make this timer benchmarking tool. I made it to replace ISLC & DPC Latency Checker. And it pretty much does just that even better and a lot more light weight.

Helps to maintain the lowest possible timer when you're gaming.

Polling rate (Adjustable): 1000ms - 1ms

Sample Range limit/cap (Adjustable): 500 - 50
Lowering it gives you more a more live view of metrics. Higher gives you more historical metrics.

Timer Resolution: Can use up and down arrows to adjust by the millionths or type it in manually. Starts up at 0.5001, which is the best i've found for my machine.

2 Views. A progressive bar graph, and a histogram graph. Giving a real clear view of how your kernels timer resolution is behaving.

Theres also a benchmark tool which is supposed to find the lowest standard deviation by sampling 1000 measurements @ ever 1ms. It steps your timer resolution starting at 0.5000 - 0.5010. Then locks in the one with the lowest deviation, meaning it's the most stable. Still on the fence if it works well or not, but I'll just keep it.

It has to be running on the same desktop as the game if you have a dual monitor or virtual desktop setup. It's a quirk of windows 11 dynamic timer resolution. It doesn't do anything to the machine, just takes measurements. When you exit your timer will go back to defaults.

an interesting tool.
But saying that it replace ISLC and DPC latency checker i extremely exaggerated.
It can maybe replace the "Timer" part of ISLC but the app itself does absolutely nothing for the Standby list thing that ISLC was made for.

And for the DPC Latency, the app does not even check DPC some kinda misleading to say that.

[Parisien_entraide]

Yes !

Actually, I think it's an alternative to TimerResBench (not as good, in my opinion, but the program is relatively new).

By the way, I recommend downloading the new February 2026 version: https://github.com/SwiftyPop/TimerResBe ... me-ov-file

On my new PC, I was able to immediately find what I needed to enter in ISLC.

The only downside of this is that if a game like Diablo 4 or Marvel Rivals (Or any other game) that request a timer resolution of 0.5, it will override the one you specified because Windows will always honor the lowest requested value first.
