input lag, in the literal sense of the term, which corresponds solely to the time it takes for the emulator to register the press of a key. This time can vary enormously depending on the controller, protocol (wired, USB, i2c, Bluetooth...), emulator configuration or operating system you'...
Test Game #1 Overwatch w/lowest settings, “Reduced Buffering” enabled Test Game #2 Counter-Strike: Global Offensive w/lowest settings, “Multicore Rendering” disabled Introduction The input lag testing method used in this article was pioneered by Blur Buster’s Mark Rejhon, and originally feat...
A wired rather than a wireless controller will reduce the delay by a bit, a faster internet connection lowers latency, and a PC with increased processing power may make you more competitive too. The input lag that gets the most scrutiny is latency caused by the display, whether that’s a ...
First, we developed a software program to test input lag on a Raspberry Pi, which can be integrated and run on any distribution, including Recalbox. All you need is a Raspberry Pi, a controller, some soldering to connect directly to the controller via the Raspberry Pi's GPIO port, and th...
“Testing has found that overall “input lag” (from controller input to display response) times of approximately 200 ms are distracting to the user.” Let’s take this magic number of 200ms as a starting point for our analysis (give or take, the number is also confirmed in several other...
Which hardware the tests are run on isn't very important to me as long as the specifics (controller/display/os/etc) are know with precision since their times can be substracted afterwards. But yeah it's better to go straight for a fast setup like a low lag LCD or CRT. ...
as a gamer, input lag is potentially a problem with any game that depends on the reaction time between the controller and the TV -- and that's most of them. The principal factors are how you play, how much the game rewards split-second timing, and how much lag is actually introduced....
How We Test Response Time We’re usingOSRTT(Open Source Response Time Tool) to measure monitor response time and display lag. This tool measuresgamma-correctedpixel transitions. Below is a heatmap fromour BenQ Zowie XL2566K review. The first table shows the initial response time speed, for ...
($25+), it's possible to test all the way up to 4096x2160x60hz. Even higher refresh rates can be tested at lower resolutions. Or if you are on a budget you can also use the same lag testing hardware with a Pi0, which costs only $5, but maxes out at 1080p/1200p at 60hz (...
