About this tag
Driver latency refers to delays introduced by kernel-level drivers that can cause stuttering, audio popping, and juddering in games, video calls, and other real-time workloads on Windows. The free tool LatencyMon helps identify which specific driver or background component is responsible by measuring high-priority interrupts and deferred procedure calls. Common culprits include network, audio, and graphics drivers. Diagnosing driver latency is essential for troubleshooting performance issues that do not show up in CPU or GPU usage metrics. This tag covers guides and discussions on using LatencyMon to pinpoint and resolve driver-related latency problems in Windows.
