input lag and floaty mouse fix that is working for me
Posted: 23 Jun 2024, 04:56
Hi guys,
I have been trying to fix my input lag for a long time, and my hypothesis was that there is something wrong with my scaling because it was affecting all aspects of my PC, not just Valorant but also League and God of War, any offline or online game, and also my viewing experience on Twitch and YouTube.
I tried all the possible solutions that could be provided on this forum. I even bought a new PC and had an electrician visit my home to inspect, and we found nothing. While I was surfing the internet for a solution, I came across this video talking about Windows scaling by LinusTech watch?v=NF210WeR9C8&t=332s.
Then I thought to myself that maybe the scaling on my monitor (ViewSonic VX2428) is not right. For some reason, I always felt that the angles and FOV in Valorant are different and seem smaller than usual, and my game felt very different every time I changed the scaling options in NVIDIA Control Panel. Also, if I changed the in-game display from letterbox to fill, it had a different feel, but none gave the right feel for the game, and I still had my input delay problem.
Then I started to set a custom scale for my monitor. I started adding small percentages to my original scaling, which was 100%. I started with 101%, which was a bit blurry and didn't fix the problem, but I felt an enhancement in my game and mouse feel until I kept adding until I reached the value of 120%, which gave me a very crisp image for my desktop, and the taskbar was clean and crisp.
Then I hopped on a deathmatch, and everything was so smooth, and the angles were the right size and i could react to people and my movements were smooth. I then tried on a couple of different offline games like God of War and Ghost of Tsushima. My testing here was to parry the enemy as it was incredibly hard before and very unresponsive. Now, I was able to do that, and everything feels smooth again.
Bottom line is I tested on my side, and I want to share this solution with you guys. Maybe it may help you, and I'm really looking forward to your feedback on the matter and for you to test it for yourselves.
To change the scaling:
Right-click on your desktop and choose display options.
Choose scale and then custom scale.
Enter the value 120, then sign out and sign in again.
I hope this solves your problem as it did for me.
