Secondly, when people say that Nvidia Optimus adds input lag, at what stage is this latency added? This is how I understand it to work: When an external display is connected to the iGPU, the the frames rendered by the dGPU have to pass through the iGPU to be displayed, thus causing a bottleneck ...

In general I don't recommend notebooks for gaming, unless it was really a heavy and prepared one. You should also check if it has MUX Switch, otherwise, you are prob. going to have more input lag.
Using a desktop is better, but sometimes a laptop is needed to check off some boxes.

I have a ...

For this post, FSO stands for Fullscreen Optimizations and FSE stands for Fullscreen Exclusive.

I have done a lot of reading lately on the topic and high-level implementation of FSO in Windows 10 (which I use) and I still have a few specific questions about how this impacts the latency from ...

I have two questions. Here is the background information: I recently purchased a Dell S2522HG 240Hz gaming monitor, which is amazing! However, I was browsing through Amazon and noticed that the BenQ Zowie XL2540K 240Hz monitor retails at about $430 while the Dell monitor I own retails for about $300 ...

Given similar CPU and GPU performance, would a USB 3.0 port on a laptop yield the same latency as a USB 3.0 port on a desktop when a peripheral is plugged in?

My understanding is that frame skipping may only occur after monitor overclocking, so do I need to test new monitors for frame skipping or is that a non-issue with monitors at their native refresh rate?

Generaly, it is a non-issue 99%+ of the time.

Some models had firmware bugs that caused ...

Thank you so much for the detailed answer!

Based on all you've mentioned, I will continue to use VSync until I find myself with a GSync monitor. I do not notice that VSync holds me back in any way. As you stated, double-buffered VSync adds no more than 2 frames of delay and can even add less (with ...

Thanks, Chief, however, you didn't exactly answer my question.

My question skips over the other contributing factors to input latency and only assumes that there is VSync and no Vsync. I do not own a VRR monitor, so GSync is out of the question. I only own a 60 Hz monitor. Also, I am VERY sensitive ...

I noticed no one is contributing here. Is the question too technical? I'd especially appreciate it if the Chief Blur Buster could chime in. I strongly believe that my arguments are correct, but I'd like to confirm.
