Should I enable low latency mode or keep it off with the FPS cap?
Should I enable low latency mode or keep it off with the FPS cap?
So I own this fairly old AOC 20E1H monitor—it was the most affordable option and fit within my budget. I noticed it supports overclocking, so I adjusted the settings from 60 to 75 (even though that still causes the same problem). Before sharing my concerns, I wanted to understand the ideal configurations to stop micro-stutter while playing games. My current approach includes enabling Nvidia FPS cap with low latency mode and also turning on Nvidia Reflex (without boosting).
I really appreciate the point about polling rate being limited by the cap/LL/ reflex, and I've experienced the same problem before until I discovered a forum where you can disable Enhanced Pointer Precision, which is similar to Mouse Acceleration in games. The micro-misses might also be due to your display being set to 75. I had a display that I could change from 60 to 144, but I never reached that setting in games until I realized my CPU wasn't fully unlocked. That was back in 2014, but it's another story. The key is to use Reflex only when playing Online Based FPS or Multiplayer. Try running CS2 with different settings to see if it helps. Also, higher frames can reduce latency because more frames are being generated, even though that might seem counterintuitive.

Also, higher frame rates can reduce latency because more frames are produced, even though your system can handle them. This was a useful insight.
If you prefer high frames, disable them but consider stable frames with occasional input lag. Try it out and see how it works. It's okay to make mistakes during troubleshooting unless it affects the system.
