360hz PG259QN overwatch mouse input delay.

Post by FarisQari » 30 Mar 2021, 01:05

Hello guys how’s it going.

So I got the new PG259QN 360hz around 2 months ago & also built a 5950/3090 32gb 3600mhz PC rig.

I’ve had this PC for around also 2 months & I’ve been having mouse input lag issues that I’ve tried everything to fix.

I play mainly overwatch, & I always notice the input lag while playing ana & trying to quickscope.

I’ve tried buying a new mouse (logitech superlight), I’ve also tried re-installing fresh windows, updating the bios.
I’ve tried playing around with the monitor settings, also the Nvidia CP & windows settings with no luck.

The best configuration I found for some reason was with G-Sync on & capping FPS 350 ingame & it had the least input lag/delay with best smooth/visual gameplay I could get.

I’ve got alot of advice telling me to turn off G-sync & uncapping my FPS in game to 400 & to make sure both V-sync options were turned off which I tried, but the input lag on the mouse was still there & also game wasn’t as smooth compared with G-sync on.

This is my current PC build:

GPU: Asus Rog Strix RTX 3090 OC edition
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
Motherboard: Asus Rog Crosshair VIII Dark Hero x570
RAM: 32gb (4x8) G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600mhz CL14
Storage: Samsung 980 pro evo 1TB m.2 SSD
Power supply: XFX XTI 1000W platinum plus
Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic white case
Cooling: Lian Li Galahad 360 white AIO
Fans: Lian Li UNIFAN white SL120 X 2
Strimers: Lian Li 24+3x8 pins strimers

Monitor: Asus rog strix PG259QN 360hz

If someone would help me I would be very grateful, thanks.

What version of win do you use?
Do you use smt off/on?
Did you follow any latency guide like that of calypto? r0ach? fr33thy?

Hi. You have tried to track and record your monitor on camera, how many ms per shot(enable reflex in monitor menu, click mouse and flash on screen) do you usually have?

Try enabling/disabling High Precision Mouse Input in Overwatch Gameplay settings.

oh shit, I just read that this is a monitor without a reflex. You need to get asus PG259QNR or dell AW2521H...

What about other games like csgo, do they lag too?

If it's all games I'd troubleshoot this way:
-Check if cpu and gpu are running on high clock, and check temps for overheating
-Check if you put ram sticks into the right slots and check in taskmanager if all the ram shows up there
-Run latencymon and see if you get insane spikes somewhere
-Take pc to friends house. Check if ur friends PC has input lag. If it doesn't test ur own pc. -now u know if it's electricity issue
-Test with another monitor if you have one. Also try different mouse.
-Fresh windows install, install the correct drivers, fresh game install, v-sync off. Reset bios too.

If you still don't know it's probably hardware defect.
