Currently playing dawnwalker on my laptop rtx4090 16gb.
I am getting 60-70 fps on “ quiet mode “ ultra settings but LAT is 80-100.
Is this normal?

V sync is off in game settings.
How can I lower the latency?

Its a single player game so not sure whate causing the high latency. Should I play with wifi turned off?

What are you referencing to get this latency number?

PTFO or mute.

Are you using frame generation? If so that would be the reason. If you’re using a controller it could be that as well. Also turn on nvidia reflex

Where are you getting your latency?

Are you talking about input latency?

If so how are you quantifying it?Did nvidia add this parameter recently?

Cuz I am someone who is on amd,and my hardware doesn't receive updates anymore 😭

This might not be a latency issue.

But there's this tool called latencyMon check it out

Guys, I think OP is referring to PC Latency (which shows up as LAT on NVIDIA App overlay). If that's the case, what are your settings OP? You can reduce PCL by getting more frames, and ensuring your GPU usage is not mixed out at 100%.

That’s frame gen and if you have frame gen and DLAA on latency gets worse

Yup that is what I am referring to, settings are all ULTRA. What is PCL?
