Sorry If I can't explain this well.
I play games like Apex Legends, Battlefield, Valorant and Rainbow Six Siege and they start to have more and more input lag after few minutes of game time. It's as if my mouse becomes heavy and sluggish and I have to put more effort into moving the mouse. Also the keybaord feels laggy and inaccurate when strafing And it feels like there is a 0.5 seconds of delay. The lag is also noticable on WIndows outside of the games. Everything in my system seems to be fine. Good internet with no speed, ping or bufferbloat issues, no FPS drops, CPU and GPU temps all fine, frametiems are good and no errors or anything anywhere. It seems to be some sort of display issue since soem of the things that fixes it for few seconds to minutes happens when tweak some diplay settings.
Another issue which is very noticle in Apex Legends is where the graphics and textures in the game shimmer and flicker when the input lag starts to show up. It's definetly not normal without antialiasing. Some other problems are subtle microstutter while moving mouse in the game and recieving ton of damage within few frames. (Like I am dying instantly when getting shot, 1 frame deaths, getting shot like I am a second behind the game world)
THINGS THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR FEW MINUTES: alt tabbing in and out the game, restarting pc, switching to windowed mode, turning on and off generic monitors in device manager
EVERYTHING I TRIED SO FAR THAT I CAN THINK OF:
-3 different gaming laptops
-1 desktop pc
-different mouse and keayboards
-switching to a netduma gaming router
-different vpns with wireguard and openvpn protocols
-port-forwarding
-playing on mobile hotspot
-changing to different wall adapters and surge protector powerstrips
-portable power station
-trying the PC at different system.
-clean reseting PC
-disabling/enabling C-States in BIOS
-different windows setting optimiaztions
-differnt pagefile settings
-changing and experimenting with many different nvidia settings
-changing to differnt in game settings
-turning on and off DX12 in game
-clean booting windows
-removing any temp files and windows bloat
-uninstalling and reinstalling my iGPU and dGPU using DDU
-two different freesync and gsync monitors and messing with differnt gsync and vsync settings
-ISLC, Timer Resoliution, Empty Standby List, and turning on and off HPET
-Fr33thy optimaiztions
Many other things that I can't remeber it all right now.
If there's anything I need to answer please ask. This forum seems to be best place to try to make sense of this. I would give exact specs but this same issues happening across all systems I tried (3 different laptops and 1 desktop with all good specs).
