I'M SO CLOSE TO FINISHING MY INPUT LAG!

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

I get Hardware: Independent Flip.

But this is the explanation from the special k site:
" A simplification that has been made in the diagrams is that even with MPOs enabled a game can still be reported as using Hardware: Independent Flip on some systems, though when this happens it tend to act and function identical to Hardware Composed: Independent Flip."

Game still feels like complete shit on a 9800x3d and 360hz oled.

I managed to get Hardware Composed: Independent Flip by combining previous reg tweak and setting every GameDVR_* variable to 0.


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore
- GameDVR_DXGIHonorFSEWindowsCompatible 0
- GameDVR_EFSEFeatureFlags 0
- GameDVR_Enabled 0
- GameDVR_FSEBehavior 0
- GameDVR_FSEBehaviorMode 0
- GameDVR_HonorUserFSEBehaviorMode 0

(Somehow, after I restart the computer, these variables changes them values, so I had to re-set them all)

+

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
- ForceDirectFlip 1
- EnableDecodeMPO 1
- EnableMultiPlaneOverlay3DDIs 1
- DisableOverlays 1

These settings got me solid Hardware Composed: Independent Flip in Fortnite and Valorant.
