If you set playback speed to 0.25, you can really feel that ultra is the most smooth one. Thanks SaneOG for this comparison.

To help people out, if you do not have a graphics card over the 2000 series, its recommended to have on, again varies from pc to pc, however if you do have a card that is 2000 series + do ultra

Interesting comparison.
However, only the GTA benchmark is really representative of what LLM/ULLM does. Doom is running on the Vulcan API, so since Nvidia Low Latency only works with DX9-DX11, none of the features are actually applied here. The differences in measured fps are within the margin of error. Also both CSGO and the last Game are not GPU bound most of the time, so LLM/ULLM shouldn't really come into play here either.
None the less it's interesting to see how both modes affect the frame times and FPS, when they are actually active.

Low latency mode ultra is for peripherals not frame rates. It also doesn't activate unless the GPU is capped, and this test never capped the GPU so you literally tested nothing btw.

2060, should i use on or ultra in league of legends? cuz im getting fps drops sometimes, im using 144hz

[TheKillerZmile]

*OFF* - FOR DX12 TITLES and single player games
*ON* - FOR COMPETITIVE GAMES
*ULTRA* - IF YOUR GPU IS 95 - 99% All the time it reduces input lag

*NOTE**
LOW LATENCY MODE SETTING ONLY WORKS WITH _DX9 DX11 GAMES_
_DX12 AND VULKAN_ GAMES DONT WORK ON LOW LATENCY MODE

[AY-dwom]

Low latency mode is DX11 only. it doesn't affect Vulkan titles as you tested. better luck next time...

I have an RTX 3060 but my monitor and television where I play are 60 hz, what would be recommended in this situation? game with vertical sync all the time due to screen tearing

[mahts]

On or off or ultra I have a 1060 graphic card i5

[-powerband-gamer-]

the best option for me is (on), putting it on (on) gives me a solid frame rate that is high, ultra gives me less frames but could be because of HDD bottleneck, if you play on a SSD it will be best for ultra, otherwise just put it on (on), then it will que only 1 frame, this worked best on low end and mid range pc, and gives the best results over (OFF) and (ultra)

[ethanwasme]

Use ultra if you have V and G-Sync enabled...?

[heavymetalmixer]

Leaving aside the FPS gained or lost, which settings offers the least amount of stutters?

[jaseking]

bro, you have missed one of the most important details, what monitor are you using and its latency as well?

[laibasfunvlogsandvideos]

I play fortnite on gtx550ti i get 160 fps barely get bad fram drops should i turn it on ultra or on my gpu temp is 5 to 9

[xvidmisx]

thank you. playing csgo with ultra from now on

[knsrulz]

Oh so that's why i was stuttering, it had the blasted setting off by default -_-

[Blainzz]

When I stream with obs my input lag seems to go up you think this may solve my issue I use a ryzen 9 and gtx 1080

[Samudregaming]

How about my rig 1650 ti, 16gb ram, i5 10300H and i only have off and ultra settings

[lucafavole]

I have 2070 super and ryzen 3900x, on off or ultra?? I play FPS

[auliarahmat]

Should i set to ultra or on when i played GTA v and Skyrim?
