Hey thanks, I have looked through a lot of other threads and I have managed since posting this, to get some improvement. by setting host mode instead of pass through. It made a massive difference but my latency was still a problem. I have since re-added my passthrough for GPU and USB keyboard.
My current config is:

I used the MSI untility you send (Thanks for that, I used one from github but it didnt have a gui) and my results now look like this:
I'd say it improved things by about 15-20% on my last test. So the utility worked.
Do you have any other ideas of how I can get it all under 1000?
