Input lag / Reflex Tech / input source?

wheresmycar · Sep 4, 2020

Hi, recently I heard RTX 3000 will come with reflex tech and if we connect our USB mouse directly to a GSYNC display, this will allow us to benefit from reflex lesser input latency (50% input lag improvements).

Have I correctly understood this?

Also will this work with all GSYNC displays or is reflex something that gets put into newer Gsync displays.

Also, how do competitive gamers usually connect their mouse? Via display? I didn't know this was an option and I always use one of the motherboard rear USB ports when hooking up external peripherals.

First, Do you have noticeable input lag now?

I do also wonder how this compares to AMDs input lag reduction. I don't recall having to jump through hoops to use it but I haven't been paying attention either.

Probably not.
I can't imagine any situation where plugging a mouse in to a hub further away from your computer would decrease lag.

As far as i know the reflex stuff is just a driver update, and you still plug your mouse into the pc.

i heard that one would need new gsync monitors with reflex component and supported mouse only to get info about latency stats...
all others only need gsync monitor and geforce...
