    1. More frames = better
    2. Maxing out your GPU is bad.
    2.1. If you're maxing out your GPU, ultra low latency, or reflex will help reduce the penalty.
    3. Framelimiter can be set to a value your GPU can comfortably maintain, improving consistency and avoiding maxing out the GPU.
    (4. With G-sync you'll want to limit the FPS to your refresh rate, or ideally slightly below to avoid tearing from running _above_ your g-sync range.)

      You don't really have to cap fps to your refresh rate for G-sync. You can also cap it much lower. Example, 60 fps to 120hz, 72 fps to 144hz, 60 or 90 fps to 180hz.
      In case your pc can't perform as good as your monitor refresh rate. V-sync still working as intended on those fps. So you don't have to suffer stuttering when the fps dips.

    Interesting that the framerate cap looks to be the best method, as long as you have sufficient GPU power to cap it at a high enough FPS. The results at 6:09 is especially interesting with the capped lower frames having lower input lag even though the higher frame tests didn't come close to maxing GPU usage.

    So from my understanding, the best way to use all your hertz (given you can reach it) cap the fps at your refresh rate along with turning on low latency, and if you can't reach say, 360fps with 360hz, then cap it at a reachable number like maybe 240fps to get less latency.

    • @dampintellect
      @dampintellect 3 года назад +3

      Basically. Monitor Hz limit is best assuming you can consistently hit it without issues. If not cap somewhere around your average fps, I'd round it down as well. Say you are pulling 134 fps fairly consistently, I'd cap it at 120 instead of 144 so that your fps dips are less noticeable making fps more consistent and less visible stutter over all. Some games have occasional flickering issues that can be resolved by capping fps as well.

    When you used a frame cap, were you leaving reflex on or off? I'm curious because for example the 3070 results in Valorant at 6:08 show an fps cap being superior despite 60fps less, and gpu usage being very low in all cases. Yet reflex/boost latency was higher still. This has me wondering if enabling reflex/boost in an fps capped CPU bound scenario could slightly increase latency? vs fps cap + no reflex.

    Hey @Optimum Tech I was curious if you have ever heard of a software called Timer Resolution? It is suppose to change windows timings from default 15.625 ms to the set 0.5 ms which decreases input latency (when set up correctly). With this on in game, the user is suppose to turn off raw input. It does feel like my inputs are more responsive and immediate but, I am not sure if it is just placebo or it actually works. I am also not really sure how to test this nor do I have the equipment to test it. This has really peaked my curiosity and I was hoping for some help.

    How much is the impact of lowering render times with high FPS at GPU transferring them to the monitor.
    I guess the improvement result is following in ms in average
    1000 / ((GPU FPS - Monitor FPS) / 2)
    Example 300 GPU FPS, 150Hz Monitor:
    1000 / ((300-150) / 2) = 13.333ms

    Nice lil bonus for setting a frame rate cap can sometimes yield lower temps. My gpu was pushing up to 79C w/ unlocked frame rate. I set a cap of 118 (my LG C9 can only do 120hz) and that dropped my temps to 70-72C.

    I always cap frame rate. Consistency is more important to me than raw highest fps. Your eyes and hands prefer consistency over time and train themselves based on it. I'd much rather see my frame rate hold a solid 120 than constantly vary from 120 to 150 and back down, or hold a solid 165 than to shoot up to 200 and back down over and over.

      Depends on the panel. Adaptive sync at 144hz 100% adds input lag. A 360hz gets a lot less due to fps diminishing returns. Capped at 357 with g sync adds 1 ms of input lag. At 240hz you would see noticeably more. 360hz is the pinnacle of high fps/gsync

      low latency shouldnt be enabled in the driver options, always in-game if theres the option to do so which would be nvidia reflex. Apex for example built it into the main game so its always on. In Warzone for example u can set it to On or On+boost. On+boost will always keep your gpu clock high even when youre cpu bound

    I have a suggestion for a video: Full Tower vs Mid Tower - have full tower case manufacturers lost the plot? There are a huge number of"mid tower" cases which can fit three or more 360mm radiators at the same time. But if you look at "full tower" cases, which are supposed to be bigger, nearly all of those are designed for only 360mm radiators as well - at most they seem to offer one 420mm radiator slot, and even if they say they have multiple slots for 420mm radiators, when you check, they DON'T have the room to have more than one installed at a time! If mid towers are 120mm fan based, going up to 360mm radiators, then surely, by logic, the reason to pay the extra to go to full tower is to switch to quieter and more efficient 140mm fan based systems which can hold three 420mm radiators at the same time? If full tower doesn’t give full 140mm fan and multiple simultaneous 420mm radiator support (at least 3 at the same time), in the same way that mid towers already give full 120mm fan and multiple 360mm radiator support, then what’s the point in them even existing? Why would anyone buy them? Is it that much of an ask for get case manufacturers to add a couple more centimetres of room to fit these in so enthusiasts can have a zero thermal throttling solution to their overclocking top end thread ripper CPU and GPU custom water loops?

    Many contradicting info out there about framerate cap. This debunks it perfectly. Frame cap to a stable framerate below GPU limits = vastly lower input lag.

    Yes, now I can get near instant reflexes in the single player games I enjoy like RDR2.

    Hey man i love ur vids and i wanted to just put a question out there regarding input latency for pcs. I know this isnt the right video for this type of question but here we are😭.
    My goal here is to understand the best configuration of settings that will make my competitve games run the smoothest with the least input delay.
    I run on a school laptop. (Intel UHD 620) (10th Gen Core i-5 10210U) with 8 gigs of ram on a 60hz display.
    So for a game like valorant were i get 80-120 fps, with the lowest i can see during gameplay being around 60 what settings should i be using for the lowest input delay.
    I've seen your vids on frame capping but im not sure if that actually helps my input delay because what ive been taught is the higher the fps the lower the input delay so with my understanding capping to lets say 75 fps (because thats managable for 99% of a game) would be worse because 80-120 fps would provide lower frametimes but i do need someone to explain that concept to me. Do note my integrated gpu usage is always around 80-98%.
    I know vsync is just down right bad so i dont touch it but it is tempting as at 80-120 fps, screen tearing is pretty noticable but for that i have the option of RTSS Scanline which works to completley remove the tearing line of the screen with the only requirment being you must be reaching your monitors refresh rate in fps nearly all the time so for me that is 60fps at all times which i do get. The one concern with RTSS Scanline Sync and just capping fps with RTSS in general is ive seen some vids were the supposed benefits of capping fps to your refresh rate only works when you use the in-game fps cap and when the person capped with RTSS they didnt see the added benefit of it. So for RTSS I just want to understand if their frame cap gives you the same benefits of the in-game cap. Also one question with RTSS whats the point of just using the fps cap when you can use Scanline Sync which gives you the added benefit of no screen tearing while also serving as a fps cap.
    So now Ive come to conclude these 'presets/configurations' for my system.
    1. Just bare uncapped
    2. Cap to refresh rate / what i can achieve 99% of the time using in-game capper
    3. Cap to refresh rate / what i can achieve 99% of the time with RTSS
    4. Use RTSS Scanline Sync to eliminate screen tearing (it caps to refresh rate automatically)
    Now it is up to you guys and @optimumtech to help me decide and answer some of the questions I had. Help will be much appreciated.
    P.S
    One suggestion I could give to your input delay vids is have a section dedicated to testing the different input delay methods on a low end system because from what I know is the benefits of lets say nvidia reflex would be much greater on a lower end system as to a higher end system.

    It would be very interesting to use that tool to measure latency in cloud gaming like shadow or geforce now

    What would be the results if I had a 144 hz monitor? You tested with 360 hz monitors and capped your fps to 360 fps at max. You I still get less input lag if I have more fps than my monitors hz?
