How to reduce input lag on ALL monitors

I will still have vsync off for competitive online shooters though as I don't want a single bit of input lag.

Looking at that image you found, it seems that Nvidia Inspector suggests a FPS limit of 58 for 60Hz monitors in order to achieve no input lag with vsync.

Perhaps someone would like to test this on something like counterstrike?

59 FPS limit w/ vsync VS 58 FPS limit w/ vsync to compare which has the least input lag?

I'll test it later on csgo.

Nvidia Inspector is a third party tool written by a German hobbyist. It's not official.

and that completely invalidates it? the way i see it, it only let's you access variables which are in the drivers, but are not shown normally.

i agree though. those 58fps values and descriptions are not by nvidia.

No, this was in response to the guy assuming 'Nvidia' was suggesting the frame capping settings in the screenshot.

Updated my post to reflect my incorrect interpretation

Tested it with CS:GO and it's too laggy but it's still brilliant for single player games. Loving the new CSGO update too.

I dont see why he suggest 2 frames per second underneath the monitor hz.

All i see that achieveing is doing the exact same thing as having it 1 frame per second underneath the monitor hz, but there will be 2 repeating frames in the "60" cycle instead of 1......

I've seen people say they use 58,59,60,61,62 I haven't found out why yet. Also I tried CSGO without vsync again and it still felt kind of floaty so I think it's the game.

msi afterburner server tool box has fps limiter

it makes almost every game thats poorly coded but you can run well mostly run butter smooth

old games that almost run too fast 200-300fps also benefit huge amounts with no page tear which ive even seen on vsync before!

Just tried this method with an old game (Guild Wars 1). I was getting in the region of 500 fps with v-sync off.

So I turned v-sync on. I ran up close to a stairs and stopped just in front of it. Then I moved the player camera up and down. I could very clearly notice a tearing band making its way across the whole width of the screen.

So I forced triple buffering and 59 FPS with Radeon Pro (latest BETA build 1.1.1.0). Available here!

Et voila..... tearing is completely gone!
