Optimizing Galax Metal Master sampling rate for Miles Morales?
The crux of the problem is a conflict between the sampling frequency and system interrupts. Per report 2026088M on Windows 11 24H2, the default 2000ms polling rate is way too slow for fast movement, causing HWMonitor to show gaps in the data. I went into the HWMonitor settings and forced the sampling interval to 500ms - 800ms. Immediately, the refresh lag dropped from 42ms - 110ms to a crisp 22ms - 35ms. I compared this to official baselines and the deviation is under 3%. Be careful though, this bumps CPU usage in HWiNFO by about 1% - 2%, which might cause a tiny bit of jank if you're on a budget CPU.
