Lowest input lag settings for competitive fps

Hi,
i have been reading all the threads here and wanted to confirm the best settings to get the lowest input lag in cod warzone.
hardware specs:
i9 10850k
3090
Samsung g7 monitor with gsync (1440p at 240hz)
i get around 160-180fps in game these days (used to be more but this goes down every update)
current set up:
reflex low latency: on + boost
in game settings on low
play at 1440p
g sync on
v sync off
no frame limit
would like to run filters in game, but as i understand they increase input lag and they drop my fps around 15.
wondering if there is any settings i am missing or that i should have to get better input lag? (e.g. turn g sync off)
thanks

I'm no expert yet, but since no one has responded I'll jump in.
Looks like you've hit all the basics. Disabling g-sync usually isn't worth it. Your fps is well under your refresh rate, but a frame rate cap at a multiple of the server tick rate helps in some games. I don't play cod so I don't know of anything unique to that game.

Too high gpu usage (~98-100%) can significantly increase input lag. Capping framerate till gpu load fluctuates below ~97% (or lower) can help reduce input lag. But I don't think you have those issues with 3090.

For the competitive, I'd try "1080p" to take advantage of 240hz with 240 fps caps without g-sync.

How you already have it is good.
You can tweak ingame settings for screen clarity, but WZ is pretty badly optimised. I think the difference between all low and all high settings on a system that doesn't max out is like 20-30fps anyway.

Since Reflex came out haven't most tests shown that you actually get a reduction in input lag by using reflex maxing your gpu, than fps capping it.

From what I know it should be the same as in-game limiter.
Battle(non)sense made a very good video on this topic -
https://youtu.be/7DPqtPFX4xo?t=601. His graphs show slight improvement only in peak minimums with Reflex enabled, averages are still the same. And with Reflex you keep extra 3 fps (5%) in this case.

Yes so what I said is right though, games with reflex you are better off just having reflex on and maxing your GPU, you will get at the least the same latency as capping below 100% GPU but more likely will get a few fps more.
Unless for consistency or another reason and you want to cap to a consistent fps number all the time.

Yeah, but the difference is so small, it could even be an error. Its funny how nvidia took already integrated fps limiters, flipped it around and called it their
nvidia Reflex. Similar story with G-Sync Compatible monitors.
What I'd like to see from nvidia or amd is limiter for games don't have the option. And code it so that it doesn't add lag like
amd chill or
nvidia max framerate.
I should of noted that he capped framerate at 60fps with 92-95% gpu load, and Reflex caps it at 63-64fps with 99%. So that could mean if he also capped it at 64fps like Reflex does, the gpu usage would of been much more similar.

3060ti, updated os, drivers etc and reflex off has better tracking for me but my mouse feels like it has accel. On+ boost and everyone starts prefiring me in valorant.
