    Without dxvk-low-latency, XWayland adds 3.13 ms of latency to the measurement.

    Can 3ms actually be noticed? Like if you randomly select one mode and did a “blind” test to see if you can tell the difference which mode is on? This honestly sounds impossible to me.

      I guess 3ms would not be noticeable to most people.

      It would be interesting to see how this behaves at lower refresh rates. Loosing the same 1 or 2 frames at 60/144 Hz should be noticeable.

        Yeah if it’s always 1 or 2 frames it would be vastly more noticeable with a more typical gaming setup. I didn’t even know people run games at 500 fps lol.

      If you’re familiar with the setup and play something where latency matters (competitive FPS and rhythm games cone top mind) I guess it might be enough to their you off your game.
      But on an unknown system, where you have no comparison, I’m not so sure.

        The 3ms is the full end-to-end latency. From the click to the monitor updating with the result.

        3ms isn’t noticeable, even the worst performer (xwayland) only hit 8ms which wouldn’t be noticed outside of very specific games.

        Fighting games’ frames are around 17ms and moves that require hitting a single frame are nearly impossible to perform consistently.
