please help with high render latency

[Julian]

My RTX 3080 is showing a render latency around 50-60ms with everything maxed out at 1440p except for path tracing. I also use AMD fsr 3 mod but turning this off makes no difference. Was playing a call of duty game recently and the render latency was around 10 to 15ms. Please help lol

What's your framerate? If you don't see or feel anything abnormal with that high render latency then it could be an incorrect reading. If you're using geforce experience to measure it then that could be the culprit.

frame rate sits around 100 to 120 and what should i use to read it you think? Thanks for the reply mate

[Julian]

I also noticed i am getting a strange kind of hazy black trail on things like people walking. I turned all ray tracing, dlss and frame gen mod off but no real change to the the trail affect. Its kind of unnoticeable but i am such a perfectionist with graphics.

LOL 1440p native and frame gen mod makes the fps go from 60 to 30??? this stuff is so confusing.

That's (probably - without seeing it I can't say for sure) TAA ghosting, and is unfortunately something that the game just has (as do many others with baked in TAA, though it's particularly notable here, especially with RT enabled for whatever reason.) You can mod the game to remove TAA, but then it introduces severe aliasing and artifacts in other ways, as it's designed with it in mind at the engine level.

The best means of lowering latency and TAA ghosting I've found (I'm on much lower specs and much lower fps than you - just a vanilla RTX 2070 here, but this should be at least somewhat applicable for all nVidia GPUs I would imagine) is:

• in nVidia control panel, set Low Latency Mode to Ultra in the game's profile, if supported
  
• In game, under Video settings, set Reflex to On With Boost Enabled
  
• Under graphics settings in-game, disable RT sun shadows

For whatever reason, that dramatically reduces TAA ghosting for me. You will likely still see it, especially against specific textures and under certain lighting conditions, but this greatly minimized it for me.

Reflex is greyed out if i have frame gen mod active and even when i do turn it on it has zero affect on latency as did the RT sun shadows turned off. Does turning on low latency mode in control panel require a game restart?

[Julian]

low latency ultra mode in nvidea game panel also did nothing lol i guess i just need to play with around 45ms latency.

Try uninstalling and/or disabling the frame gen mod, honestly. I know frame gen is popular, but can increase latency, despite showing a higher fps. Then enable Reflex with Boost on.

RT sun shadows is more to do with the TAA ghosting than measurable latency. (Although, any RT features will probably increase latency a bit too.) They just tend to (for me at least) be one of the in-game things with the most noticeable TAA ghosting trails. Hence suggesting you disable them as you might see it less. (Personally, my eyes are very sensitive to TAA ghosting so I can never fully "unsee" it no matter what I do, but I find that helps.)

For low latency mode in control panel, I would change those kinds of settings at the driver level with the game closed, yes, then apply it and restart the game.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to suggest. Other than trying to play with RT disabled entirely (I know, I know) and frame gen removed, and see if your latency improves. RT and even DLSS can increase latency.

Honestly i would prefer the around 110-120fps over the super low latency with 60fps. Its not all that bad i am just a bit weird with graphics lol thanks for your epic response though much appreciated bro!!!

Understandable, I have my highly specific quirks too. For example, I will literally play a game at 40 fps if I have to to eliminate temporal aliasing and will abandon features entirely if it means a cleaner image quality lol. So kind of the reverse of what you're saying, but, both are similar in that we both have our "thing" that we're sticklers for and things our brains can't "unsee."

You could try installing SpecialK and fiddle around with some settings. Do read up about the program first and what it can do. Ive used this program before ( not with cyberpunk ) But with final fantasy 15 and the final fantasy 7 remake among some others. It "can" have a drastic improvement on latency/fps among some other things ( I believe it can now inject HDR aswell ) . For me it eliminated stuttering issues and lowering latency in the games ive tried it. I dont have it installed currently so i cant really help with what settings you should use. Just take a good look and read up on the page.

Want to add, never use this in online games, it can result in a ban. Only use it in single player games.

Is it just me or are there also lots of textures in game that always seems to render at especially low res? Its usually some buildings in the distance or the advertisements on buildings. Other then that boy is this game nice looking pitty it released the way it did thanks everyone for beta testing for me lol.
