my current laptop (predator helios 300 2019) is a 3ms no mux switch laptop and the latency is fine for me. 9ms would be triple that but if fw16 has a mux switch then it should be fine… right?

    You’re talking about less than a tenth of a second. Even if some part of your cognition is able to react that fast, you still have every other aspect of play to worry about. Maybe polish up your fundamental skills before worrying about capitalizing on that missing tenth of a second.

    You can probably notice a difference through a very carefully constructed and controlled benchmark. In gameplay? I doubt it.

      You would definitely notice 100ms delay. Cheap TVs have this much lag, and it’s painful to play certain games on them. That’s part of the reason a lot of very old games are played in competitions on CRT TVs.

      Under 10ms though, it’s probably not noticable unless you’re doing some crazy gaming.

      Wouldn’t 100ms be 1/10th of a second? This is an extra 6ms ot 6/1000th of a second. Even if I’m wrong and it is 1/10th I can hardly imagine the human eye can make out the difference. It would have to be an extremely high speed picture to notice any kind of blur
