I've had a 144Hz monitor for almost a year now and if I hadn't watched til the end of this video I wouldn't have realized that you need to actually set it to 144Hz in order to take advantage of it. And suddenly, everything is so much smoother. I feel so stupid.
Wow, that sucks! Recently convinced my friends that 144 Hz does not work in borderless too, even with 144 Hz in Windows. They didn't even notice before I pointed it out. Once you become used to the smoothness of > 60 Hz, it's very noticeable. Really wish it would work, but it doesn't with my AMD card.
Lower your quality settings. It improves frame rate consistency. Turn off any form of anti-aliasing/SMAA, change the rendering factor to 100% (from 141% default) and play around with some of the quality settings. I have a 1080 and another computer with dual R9 Furys and play on a 144hz monitor too, and I still lower some settings to keep as close to 144hz as possible. It also keeps my game from going wonky with frame rate up/down issues, and keeps input lag consistent.
Buddy I have watched so many videos of you, hero guides and other guides. I can easily say that nobody is putting such precise and helpful videos about OW. You are the man! Keep it up mate, I will wach every single vid you upload!
OMG I WAS AT 25 MS Input lag i am now at 6.5 with taking some of these options and applying them, i went from 30% accuracy to almost 50%.... Who knew ...... Apparently you did, THANK YOU!!!!
Dude! I followed your instructions and I feel an amazing improvement! It's nearly unbelievable! Before making the changes you suggested, I couldn't get kills with Widow, Mcree, heals with Ana.. now.. it's amazing! Thank you so much!
Enabling the Reduce Buffering setting can cause lots of hellish stuttering if your framerate drops below your monitor's refresh rate. Running a 144hz+ monitor means with that setting on you have to run at at least 150fps without ever dropping below that, or stutter will occur and that will cause inconsistencies with reaction based actions
Really appreciate this video. I am a low-end gamer and my fps is never over 60 in overwatch but thanks to your video at least it looks decent. I've set all of the settings to how you recommended and the only performance loss is when the potg intro is being played. I used to have a stable 60 fps but now it's a stable 20 which is not a drawback at all. Thanks for this video, love u.
Really helpful... I turned like one setting down and a bunch of other settings up and I'm up from 60-70fps to 105fps in the practise range, so my game is much smoother now.
followed the guide to a T, but only dropped 1 point to 14.3sim. I decided to try messing with custom framerate and set it to double my monitor's refresh (so FR cap at 120) and my sim dropped to 8.9 and i was able to keep my framerate consistent. Side note: just found your channel the other day and I gotta say your guides are amazing. Great work and thanks for the tips!
Many pros play with the 75% render scale, it is not blurry at all and it makes the outlines of the models slightly thicker and therefore a bit easier to hit
Greetings from COMMANDO here 😊 I watched the full vid, and set the settings as described. I have set my monitor to 144hz before, but only got 70ish fps in the game. After setting my cap to 154 fps, and putting all settings as described, i honestly feel like a GOD playing the game with consistant 154 fps, and an imput lag of 6.8 (as opposed to the old 70ish fps and 19.3 input lag!). I can honestly say, that i feel like another person playing the game! Constantly getting headshots as hanzo, and hitting soldiers rockets on point, carrying the team to victory! It is SERIOUSLY UNBELIVABLE! And i am not exadurating! I have always thought i was just an awful player, but now i constantly get compliments from my teammates and enemies as well! To round this off: YES! THIS ABSOLUTELY 100% WORKS AMAZINGLY! A HUUGE thanks to ioStux for this! And i really mean a HUUGE thanks! ALL HAIL IOSTUX! THE GOD OF OVERWATCH! Great video, subscribe is inevitable! ;)
I didn't think altering my settings slightly would make such a difference, as before I had constant frame rate issues rendering the game unplayable, almost like I was playing some PS1 game, lol. So I never bothered playing it on PC. I'm level 328 on PS4 but PC only level 23, a big difference, haha. But changing to these settings (I had no idea before) and I've won my first 1st place finish in a FFA game, where I'd usually place 5th or lower. Thank You! :D
I only have my Field of View set to 103. Literally everything else is as low as the game allows. And my SIM is 17 ms. Not having graphics card is tough.
My SIM went down from 17.1ms to 10.9ms, I did all the graphics settings first, and there were no changes, it remained 17.1ms, but changing the FRAMERATE to CUSTOM 600fps made it drop. I have a lower end 1080p, 1660Ti, with a 60Hz display.
Have you ever considered writing a blog? I feel like all of this information would be a bit more helpful if it was written down together on one page. I know you can just pause it when needed but just thought it could be an interesting idea.
What do you think about setting your resolution to 1600x900 (with a native 1920x1080 monitor) and rendering scale to 50% to dramatically increase the red outline thickness? Sure, it looks blurry at first but then you learn to concentrate on the outlines and it's way easier to shoot people at long range. At least that's what I think, but I'd love to hear what you think about it.
Using R7 1700 + 2× RX 580 and I can play with over 144fps average, sim value of 6.5 @1440p. Reduced buffering on and everything maxed except shadow and fog (both low). Looks great and is super responsive.
Your computer's not the problem, your monitor is. If you hooked up a 144 Hz monitor to your laptop you would get less input lag but unless you have a Display Port on your laptop, that won't work since HDMI doesn't support 144 Hz
this changed NOTHING for me. still stuck at 14.3 sim, still have around 115 fps. granted my graphics settings werent crazy high in the first place, i still would have expected at least SOMETHING given all of these positive comments. makes me feel like i did something wrong
triple buffering is an underoption for v-sync and reduced buffering is an underoption for triple buffering. turning on reduced b. changes nothing when v-sync is disabled.
i was crouching for almost half a second, got sniped by a widowmaker and in the kill cam it dont show me crouching at all, what do i do about that? is it my connection or favor the shooter system?
Maia- San yup it's a connection thing. I have pretty decent connection and it still happens to me. there's not much you can do about it either unfortunately
Maia- San It's the ping, the one with the lower ping has the shortest time to the server. For so many times in multiplayer games I have dealt a mortal blow and still I was the dying one. The opposite can occur when you are shooting at point black range but you don't make even a dent in damage cos the target has much higher ping or he' shooting at you through walls.
It's because Overwatch has some of the worst netcode out there, you notice how shitty it is when you play tracer a lot like me, where on your screen you blink away from the flash but you get pulled back as if attached to a rubber band. Even on an 18 ping like me you will still get these issues. Annoying as fuck but you get used to it.
when discussing anti aliasing quality, you don't specify what smaa is the better one to use. there is smaa low med and high. which one do you refer to??
Texture Filtering affects performance greatly. I have everything maxed out but Dynamic Reflections and Local Fuck. I seriously prefer eye candy over competitiveness.
how much fps cap would you recommend for a standard 60 hertz 1080p monitor? I tried 60 but that causes sim to be 16.4 all the time. I also have a 1070.
I just play with everything on ultra or max but i have an HDTV that caps at 60fps anyway and my PC is a monster so even on ulta it doesnt really affect my framerate simply because i cant go over 60fps anyway
+CyberSec Your TV doesnt cap at 60, it sinply has a 60Hz refreshrate! You should always run at the highest consistent framerate possible for lower input lag, even if your screen doesnt refresh that fast!
I've seen your comments (here in TH-cam) in many responses here, and you mention that Blizzard changed things in the way OW manages input lag or something like that, does that mean that this info is no longer useful for reducing input lag?
So I followed everything on this video and also limited my maximum pre rendered frames to 1 and I'm still not able to consistently stay below 10 sim. Currently goes as low as 6 but fluctuates as high as 18 when moving around especially when looking at larger areas of the map. Any other tips? I don't think my computer is bad, built it earlier this year and I'm not sure where else I might be going wrong
I improved textures since this does not affect fps which I struggle to have at 155, but thanks to turning reduce buffering to on reduced SIM from 8,5 to 6.5 avg Still how does this add to the ping? is there any correction on the server just like in csgo? (Interpolation) ?
I've raised and lowered settings, while messing with windows task priority, turning off DWM, and reducing the pre-rendered frame buffer. Regardless of any changes I make I get a solid 14.3 on my SIM, never more, never less. What's the deal?
Hey, I have followed all the steps and im at 11.9ms now, if I switch display based to 300fps it changes to only 3ms. Is the trade off that bad? And why is my delay still above 10 after doing these steps. (I get more then enough fps and 74Hz screen)
still the best settings for competitiveness and nice looks ! using it for ow2. or maybe you can put an updated version for ow2 ? anyways. great video and guide
hey, what if my monitor is 4k but my gtx1060 cant really handle it so i put my monitors native resolution to 1080 and did the same in game, is this a problam? i heard that it causes input lag, is this true?
HOLY SHIT, i've been usin 144hz monitors for years and all this time in advanced display settings it was set to 60hz... i feel so stupid, old video but thanks for this lol
i’ve changed all of my settings and have changed the fps to custom and 300 but whenever i go on my game the highest my fps has ever reached is around 20-30 and then it decreases to under 5-10 and my sim is above 150, my game looks very nice and isn’t as pixelated as before but it’s really laggy, is there any thing i can do to make it better?
i have a 60hz monitor and lock my fps to 90, does that mean i have screen tearing as my fps is higher than my refresh rate, should i lock it at 60? i can lock it at 100 or 110 as i play on medium.
I have some questions about this topic, my laptop that I have runs overwatch at around 80-90 fps and sometimes drops below 80 to 70 or so in a zarya ult or other ultra, I capped my fps at 70(60hz monitor) and my input lag is 14.32 ms or something like that. Is that an acceptable input lag? I've never really step foot into the subject before and assumed if it was over 60 I was good. Thanks in advance
Blizzard changed the way input lag works, meaning it is no longer tied to Framerate. Your Input lag isnt 14, its just your frametime which is no longer added to the input delay. However you are still at a disadvantage using a 60Hz monitor, especially when you get into the higher ranks where the majority of players uses 144hz Monitors.
Hey ioStux question about limit fps If I have a 80 hz monitor is it okay to limit fps to 80 or is it better to limit to 150 which I can consistently reach? I get lower input lag on 150 but I've been hearing things that its better to have the cap the same or just above the monitor hz?
Hey, I only have a 60 fps monitor but I found that the game feels MUCH smoother when I set it to custom fps 300, but I don't reach 300 fps consistenly. You said anything else but 300 fps is pointless, so what should I do?
Hello! I'm a bit confused with the Limit FPS bit. I had it on Custom for awhile at 300. I have a 60Hz monitor and when in game I go above that 130+ FPS. But when I am in the menu I stay at 60 FPS. My aim doesn't seem to be affected when I am using Custom. But I'm still not sure! I'm not sure what setting I should be on. Should I stay on custom or convert to Display based?
What might be possible bottlenecks for Input lag? Can't get my SIm below 14.3 MS. I'm running on a GTX 570 with a 60 Hz Monitor. Setting are all down for maximum competitiveness and FPS are locked to my display, running at a consistent 70. I suppose my Monitor needs more hz in that case, or would it be more likely due to the graphics card?
See how many fps you get, and set a custom limit. If you get between 120-150 fps, then you can limit it to 120fps and get lower input lag while it still stays consistent :)
just have everything on low or off and make anti aliasing at fxaa low doesnt affect fps at all and makes edges look smoother also use 75% render scale it may be a bit hard and weird getting used to it but once u get used to it there's basically no difference between 75% and 100%.
+Sorgair I dont use Gsync sadly so I cant help you with the tearing. What reduced buffering does is it decreases your input lag even though that isnt reflected in the Sim value. If you are running at less than 100 fps you should definitely turn it on because the reduction in Input lag is quite noticeable!

ioStux Coaching | Overwatch I play on a laptop that isn't really that strong for gaming what settings should I use
Wow, that sucks!

Aimbots hate him! Learn how to go pro with this one simle trick!
i had the same numbers ;)
how do u check the input lag
Dude! I followed your instructions and I feel an amazing improvement! It's nearly unbelievable! Before making the changes you suggested, I couldn't get kills with Widow, Mcree, heals with Ana.. now.. it's amazing! Thank you so much!

Free/Gsync means no.
You can also just turn off vsync without it, which I did for some time.
Did you even watch the video? Vsync increases your input lag more then any other setting, assuming you have good fps
Did almost everything in the video, and my SIM went from 10ms to 10ms
Hell yeah
Dude, because of you I can play so much better now! My ms is 3-4 now we need more guys like you!!!
Really appreciate this video. I am a low-end gamer and my fps is never over 60 in overwatch but thanks to your video at least it looks decent.

ALL HAIL IOSTUX! THE GOD OF OVERWATCH! Great video, subscribe is inevitable! ;)
Max Fiveland Haha glad it could help!
lucky, i get 2-3fps
This was great thx been waiting a lot of your videos keep op the good work
This is exactly what I needed thank you very much.
Another great video! I'm definitely going to see what optimisations I can get from your tips. many thanks!
fucking thank you man, I've reached 3800 with my render scale at 83% and now my aim and long range awareness have increased phenomenally. thank you
I didn't think altering my settings slightly would make such a difference, as before I had constant frame rate issues rendering the game unplayable, almost like I was playing some PS1 game, lol.

first started the video sim rate was 14.3 after the video steady 7.1 halved it ! good job dude !
I only have my Field of View set to 103. Literally everything else is as low as the game allows. And my SIM is 17 ms.
Not having graphics card is tough.
HOLY SHIT THE DIFFERENCE IS AMAZING!
This is one of the best videos on the internet

very helpfull. made my game look less pixelated and I got almost double frames. definate sub
Just stumbled upon this channel. Already subscribing :)
I just applied this to my gaming laptop and it feels better
My fps is like at 100 consistently and it doesn't look bad like wow, you earned my subscription sir
Have you ever considered writing a blog? I feel like all of this information would be a bit more helpful if it was written down together on one page. I know you can just pause it when needed but just thought it could be an interesting idea.
Just went from max of 170 to 290 thanks so much iostux!
Thank you so much dude 😃

At least that's what I think, but I'd love to hear what you think about it.
WOW, It ended up turning that 15.3 into a 3.4 jeezus thanks m8!
you're looking at the middle number right? cause otherwise it turns out to 294 fps... that would be crazy
yep, problem is thats only when Im just in an empty game, when im actually in game it drops to about 215
215 is still very good lol
Using R7 1700 + 2× RX 580 and I can play with over 144fps average, sim value of 6.5 @1440p. Reduced buffering on and everything maxed except shadow and fog (both low). Looks great and is super responsive.
What about brightness contrast and gamma?
my new fav overwatch youtube new sub
Great Video! Thanks!
you havde a really great video here thanks so much
I got 6.2 SIM, running 165 Hz Gsync monitor, set the fps limit to 162
I went from 6.6 to... 6.6 lol. I only had to change a few settings but at least my frame rate is slightly better now.
i have a terrible time aiming.. im not new to this type of game either. maybe these settings will help!
WTF now its feels like my PC is doing things before i even press the buttons!!! Thanks!!
went from 20 - 14 sim
I guess I can't get as low as PC's on a gaming laptop. still pretty good i travel a lot
Your computer's not the problem, your monitor is. If you hooked up a 144 Hz monitor to your laptop you would get less input lag but unless you have a Display Port on your laptop, that won't work since HDMI doesn't support 144 Hz
Yash Budhiraja hdmi 2.0 actually supports 1080p 240hz LUL
how dod you reduce your SIM?
Lol that actually helped much, thanks alot!
input lag didn't used to exist during windows xp. many people had 0 ms lag.
this changed NOTHING for me. still stuck at 14.3 sim, still have around 115 fps. granted my graphics settings werent crazy high in the first place, i still would have expected at least SOMETHING given all of these positive comments. makes me feel like i did something wrong
Borderless window is most suitable for this game cos in full screen mode the game gets minimized on the taskbar in the most inconvenient moments
I sucked with hitscans before this video. After.... Now I am a god.
This is the best guide
Thanks for the easy to understand vid! What bout the new REDUCE BUFFERING option ? Is this on or off? why
Hey I mentioned that in the video! Just turn it on. It reduces inputlag without any real disadvantages.
Ok I understand it now. Thanks!
Your explanation at 3:30 is the first time someone has truly explained why display fps limit affects the game when its on or off. Thanks!
triple buffering is an underoption for v-sync and reduced buffering is an underoption for triple buffering. turning on reduced b. changes nothing when v-sync is disabled.
i was crouching for almost half a second, got sniped by a widowmaker and in the kill cam it dont show me crouching at all, what do i do about that? is it my connection or favor the shooter system?
Maia- San yup it's a connection thing. I have pretty decent connection and it still happens to me. there's not much you can do about it either unfortunately

The opposite can occur when you are shooting at point black range but you don't make even a dent in damage cos the target has much higher ping or he' shooting at you through walls.
the only solution (after better connection) is "git gud" and crouch way before the shot
It's because Overwatch has some of the worst netcode out there, you notice how shitty it is when you play tracer a lot like me, where on your screen you blink away from the flash but you get pulled back as if attached to a rubber band. Even on an 18 ping like me you will still get these issues. Annoying as fuck but you get used to it.
20 tick servers is another reason, pretty shit lol
wow thanks so much man!
This was so helpful.
Can you please also teach us about best Nvdia settings for better fps on overwatch
weird. when i have my PC on fullscreen my sim is 50-80 and when is bordless windowed its 16-40
Awesome video. Huge frame increase and decent SIM decrease! Game still look fine to be honest
thats what im worried about. i care about the beauty of this such game
when discussing anti aliasing quality, you don't specify what smaa is the better one to use. there is smaa low med and high. which one do you refer to??
Texture Filtering affects performance greatly. I have everything maxed out but Dynamic Reflections and Local Fuck. I seriously prefer eye candy over competitiveness.
how much fps cap would you recommend for a standard 60 hertz 1080p monitor? I tried 60 but that causes sim to be 16.4 all the time. I also have a 1070.
:) Don't set 60 fps as a limit, just set the frame limit "according to the monitor". In this way you'll have a constant average of 65 fps.
i find FXAA really helpful while using low res :/ but SMAA looks better at 900p+
I have ambient occlusion turned on and it doesn't really affect my fps. Anyone can explain?
It's not the biggest FPS hog, its just something that you can turn off to get a couple more FPS that adds up =)
I just play with everything on ultra or max but i have an HDTV that caps at 60fps anyway and my PC is a monster so even on ulta it doesnt really affect my framerate simply because i cant go over 60fps anyway
+CyberSec Your TV doesnt cap at 60, it sinply has a 60Hz refreshrate! You should always run at the highest consistent framerate possible for lower input lag, even if your screen doesnt refresh that fast!

So I followed everything on this video and also limited my maximum pre rendered frames to 1 and I'm still not able to consistently stay below 10 sim. Currently goes as low as 6 but fluctuates as high as 18 when moving around especially when looking at larger areas of the map. Any other tips? I don't think my computer is bad, built it earlier this year and I'm not sure where else I might be going wrong
Which graphic setting makes bullet holes / decals stay on walls? I use this when practicing to gauge the spread of certain guns.
Never mind. It's Effects Detail.
I improved textures since this does not affect fps which I struggle to have at 155, but thanks to turning reduce buffering to on reduced SIM from 8,5 to 6.5 avg
Still how does this add to the ping? is there any correction on the server just like in csgo? (Interpolation) ?
I am not seeing the dynamic reflections option in the menu. We're these options removed recently?
I've raised and lowered settings, while messing with windows task priority, turning off DWM, and reducing the pre-rendered frame buffer. Regardless of any changes I make I get a solid 14.3 on my SIM, never more, never less. What's the deal?
Your Framerate is limited. Go to your settings, set your framerate cap to "custom" and then turn the slider to 300. Have fun! :D
Thanks! Maybe you mentioned it in the video and I missed it, but I didn't think that frame capping would change input lag.
Hey, I have followed all the steps and im at 11.9ms now, if I switch display based to 300fps it changes to only 3ms. Is the trade off that bad? And why is my delay still above 10 after doing these steps. (I get more then enough fps and 74Hz screen)
my sim is 3.7, is that good?
Thats outstanding!
That's what mine is about too, good to know I have a good set up.
Huskatron He just wanted to join the conversation, no need to be rude D
Reduce buffering didn't help me at all.
Lost 30 ~70fps and making my input lag higher.
It lowers your input Lag and your fps as well. SIM is not a representation of your input lag when you turn reduced buffering on.
still the best settings for competitiveness and nice looks ! using it for ow2. or maybe you can put an updated version for ow2 ? anyways. great video and guide
An updated settings guide is coming soon, right after the settings guide! :)
hey, what if my monitor is 4k but my gtx1060 cant really handle it so i put my monitors native resolution to 1080 and did the same in game, is this a problam? i heard that it causes input lag, is this true?
Thank you very much
+Kimarnic nah you should be fine =)
HOLY SHIT, i've been usin 144hz monitors for years and all this time in advanced display settings it was set to 60hz... i feel so stupid, old video but thanks for this lol
glad i could help out!
hi +ioStux, if I am using a 1440p monitor, should I just adjust my in-game resolution to 1440p too? or 1080p is ideal for performance? thanks!
+Jan Karlo Camero 1080p would be ideal for performance but the game will look a liittle blurry
i’ve changed all of my settings and have changed the fps to custom and 300 but whenever i go on my game the highest my fps has ever reached is around 20-30 and then it decreases to under 5-10 and my sim is above 150, my game looks very nice and isn’t as pixelated as before but it’s really laggy, is there any thing i can do to make it better?
I have 5 input lag thank you coach!
Thank you very much :)
You are welcome!
Borderless Window or Fullscreen make no difference for me, as no matter what I do, the SIM value never drops below 14.3
+Lewisking50 it does make a difference in input lag, not SIM
i have a 60hz monitor and lock my fps to 90, does that mean i have screen tearing as my fps is higher than my refresh rate, should i lock it at 60? i can lock it at 100 or 110 as i play on medium.
What can I do if min is around 2, average around 5 and max fluctuates between 14 to 40
Mine's at 3.3 / 4.4 / 10+ and the 10 keeps fluctuating. What should I do? The third number is super inconsistent. I have a 60hz monitor btw
I have some questions about this topic, my laptop that I have runs overwatch at around 80-90 fps and sometimes drops below 80 to 70 or so in a zarya ult or other ultra, I capped my fps at 70(60hz monitor) and my input lag is 14.32 ms or something like that. Is that an acceptable input lag? I've never really step foot into the subject before and assumed if it was over 60 I was good. Thanks in advance
Blizzard changed the way input lag works, meaning it is no longer tied to Framerate. Your Input lag isnt 14, its just your frametime which is no longer added to the input delay. However you are still at a disadvantage using a 60Hz monitor, especially when you get into the higher ranks where the majority of players uses 144hz Monitors.
Ok, Thanks for the reply!
May I ask which graphics card you use?
I have 20 ping and 76 latency. Let's see if I can reduce it!
Hey ioStux question about limit fps
If I have a 80 hz monitor is it okay to limit fps to 80 or is it better to limit to 150 which I can consistently reach?
I get lower input lag on 150 but I've been hearing things that its better to have the cap the same or just above the monitor hz?
You want to definitely cap it to 150 =) That way input lag is going to be as low as possible!
Turning off Local fog detail is not possible, what should I do instead? Can I keep it to Ultra or should I turn it to low?
Just set it to low!
ioStux Coaching | Overwatch thanks :)
Hey, I only have a 60 fps monitor but I found that the game feels MUCH smoother when I set it to custom fps 300, but I don't reach 300 fps consistenly. You said anything else but 300 fps is pointless, so what should I do?
Keep it unlimited, the higher the better!
Hello! I'm a bit confused with the Limit FPS bit. I had it on Custom for awhile at 300. I have a 60Hz monitor and when in game I go above that 130+ FPS. But when I am in the menu I stay at 60 FPS. My aim doesn't seem to be affected when I am using Custom. But I'm still not sure! I'm not sure what setting I should be on. Should I stay on custom or convert to Display based?
The menus are simply limited at 60fps to save energy and heat :)
So shall I still go custom but put the limit bar on 60?
What might be possible bottlenecks for Input lag? Can't get my SIm below 14.3 MS. I'm running on a GTX 570 with a 60 Hz Monitor. Setting are all down for maximum competitiveness and FPS are locked to my display, running at a consistent 70. I suppose my Monitor needs more hz in that case, or would it be more likely due to the graphics card?
+BlackMarluxia Unlimit your Framerate :)
Wouldn't that be bad since my FPS might fluctuate then?
See how many fps you get, and set a custom limit. If you get between 120-150 fps, then you can limit it to 120fps and get lower input lag while it still stays consistent :)
I did everything u said and my frame rate barely reaches 30. Wtf am I doing wrong???
Make sure your framerate isn't limited, and if that doesn't help then you just need a better PC my dude :(
ioStux Coaching | Overwatch thatd really stuck since my laptop is a pretty decent gaming one. could internet connection affect the frame rate?
just have everything on low or off and make anti aliasing at fxaa low doesnt affect fps at all and makes edges look smoother also use 75% render scale it may be a bit hard and weird getting used to it but once u get used to it there's basically no difference between 75% and 100%.
i m usin gtrx 1060 nomatter wat setting i put my sim will always go above 10 in a real match ;-;
i have the same SIM even if i turned render scale down to 75%. Help
okay, i followed everything you said, my sim went from 17 to 30. Help please.
thanks went from 16.5 to 6.5
I did everything and my SIM is still around 45. Anyone knows why and how can I fix that?
Thanks dude :D nice video ... Zeefio
when i turn reduce buffering on i get screen tearing when using gsync
reduce buffering doesnt change the SIM value for me but ...............
+Sorgair I dont use Gsync sadly so I cant help you with the tearing. What reduced buffering does is it decreases your input lag even though that isnt reflected in the Sim value. If you are running at less than 100 fps you should definitely turn it on because the reduction in Input lag is quite noticeable!
I had 3ish sim without display based limit but it fluctuated, 6.5 constant with the displayed based limit turned on should I keep it on?
I personally would turn it on yeah
sadly, my laptop to too shitty for native 1920x1080 so I have to use 1366x768 ;-;
