Update: Tried this on Windows 7, there are other options, have added those settings to the bottom of this post.
It has been a while since I posted info on TCP Optimizer to get rid of lag and increase throughput. It helps improve network performance as much today in Windows 8.1 as it did for WIndows XP when I first used it.
I posted this in another thread today, and I thought it would help out more people if it was a top level post.
To use TCP Optimizer, download and right click to start as Administrator - you are changing system settings so you need to have Administrator privileges
Select the network adapter you use most / now in the adapter drop down. Then Click "Modify All Network Adapters".
Click the Optimal settings Radio button below, and drag the Connection Speed Slider to match your download speed - that slider setting is used to compute a number of Optimal settings - I usually bump it up a bit past my actual speed - it seems to help a bit - I have 57mbps measured, but set the slider to 65mbps.
General Settings - Windows 8.1
Now, click on the Advanced tab, Click on the Custom Radio button, and set the Gaming Tweaks as shown, 1/1/0
Advanced Settings - Windows 8.1
Now you are ready to Click Apply - and you will see all the settings being changed, their old values, default values, and new values - along with their path in the Windows Registry. You might want to expand that dialog, and use the Windows Snipping Tool to take a screen shot of that dialog so you can read up on the values changed.
Then you will be asked to reboot, most changes require a reboot to take effect.
You should now have better throughput, and less lag 🙂
