abit of a meh tutorial but could maybe help! but only slightly im pretty sure.

[Tonazizozor]

Reflex in game and low latency mode in nvidea panel its the same or not? Thanks

[kubam]

You save my game bro, i had like 400ms input lag while shooting. That nvidia panel tip is a game changer. Like for you

[adoL]

for some reason i don't have the counter strike 2 at 3d settings menu to select and match the low latency.. any help on this? thanks in advance

[nathanricetalks]

How come i get barely over 100fps in CS2 on the lowest settings but had 300-400fps consistantly in csgo? It can't be that much of a differ nce.

[ahmedkabeerjalaludeen]

nvidia low latency option isn't showing in game for me. any suggestion?

[syrioo]

low latency mode in nvidia control panel has to be on/ultra in order to nvidia reflex ingame to work? or it doesn't matter?

[zipel]

What you say about Low Latency mode in-game is not understandable
Enabled - if GPU limited?
Enabled + Boost - if CPU limited?

[EnJoi]

hey, what do you think about input lag problem in cs ?

[shadeshotTV]

something my game does is kind of funny
with vsync off my mouse feels like its running at MAYBE 120hz even though its a gpx at 1000hz and my monitor at 240hz/game at 300+fps, visually everything else looks fine but when i start to move my mouse it looks ROUGH
vsync on it feels like a completely different game, everything is smooth* (better)

when im swinging a corner, aka constant smooth mouse movement, my mouse starts to stutter
when im spraying i can see my mouse skipping and my spray continue as if im not correcting it at all

if i lower my graphics my pc starts to just give up on running the game and i can see my gpu hit idle clock speeds

basically im forced to run nearly ultra graphics + vsync on for a playable experience, recording my screen with my s23 ultra in slow mo i can instantly tell which video has vsync on vs off, vsync off is choppy and skips frames like its switching from 120hz to 240hz, vsync on is smooth

and that's the moment i meet "find [command]" to have a description of the commands, lol. thanks.

I hate when people shit on vsync for no reason because they don't know better. if you use a high refresh rate monitor but can't consistently keep your fps above that hz rate, you can use vsync + reflex for a smoother experience with no added input latency. reflex makes sure to keep your fps right below the max refresh rate, so the added latency from vsync doesnt apply (only does when you run at max hz) while keeping the game buttery smooth. this is very underrated and you can simply confirm the input latency yourself using tools like nvidia app or frameview to see that it doesn't even add 1ms of delay at all.

keep ambient occlusion on for the same reason you keep shadows on

[Daiede]

I saw some video about nvidia low latency mode and always thought it is useless to use nvidia reflex either ON or On + Boost when your GPU doesn't hit 95%+ utilization, otherwise nvidia reflex will increase input latency. But this guy on Reddit 2:07 says the opposite about low latency mode: "it doesn't matter when not GPU bound"

[zhangfuda]

Nvidia reflex on/off should consider about video card. Gtx 1070 is off. When this turn on, will increse the time difference between two adjacent frames.

[jaybeam]

stacking reflex and ultra low latency accomplishes absolutely nothing and is even known to cause problems in multiple games (e.g. Diablo 4.)

[delatroy]

Might try a CRT. Game feels heavier somehow

[RoccaaaHD]

CS2 is literally unplayable without v-sync. G-sync simply doesnt work with csgo for some reason, as csgo reports wrong frame numbers. Without v-sync game's stuttering like crazy.

not gonna listen to someone who runs their game on windowed fullscreen brother no offense
