What do you think about it? Using two PSUs corrects the input lag.

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

What do you think about it? Using two PSUs corrects the input lag.

Post by Skeezv » 15 Oct 2022, 18:01

Hey, guys! I found a video on YouTube of 2 guys from Russla where they claim that using two power supplies (one on mobo, the other on gpu) corrects their input lag. On the second power supply, the 24-pin connectors are closed and connected directly to the outlet. The guy in the first video claims that after that, his game becomes incredibly smooth. The mouse behaves differently, excellent straights and it feels the real refresh rate of the monitor 240hz. Your opinion? Sorry, English is not my native language.

do you understand Russlan?

this one of the english comments

"but it doesn't completely fix it. he also said that he connected his old APFC power supply to the video card, separately from the computer, the rest of the parts work from the PPFC power supply"

would be interesting to know how long he tested it.

Its just another 5 cents to theory of electrical nature of input lag. However using 2 PSUs is not recommended, because videocard doesnt getting all power from 8pin connector. Some power (up to 85w if I recall) is getting from PCIe, and doing same can cause problems. You can search info on GPU miners forums, they use 2 PSUs.
What I dont get in this story - why all people ready to spent thousands bucks for buying new PC, but not ready to call lab or electrician with some king like Fluke quality analyzer and take any possible measurements in good and bad place. If that caused by some HF or harmonics in line - it can be easily fixed by cheap LC-filter.

I wonder if you can run an ssd/hd off a separate psu also
