Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling, Nvidia reflex and other settings.

[Rg]

Hello.
Did someone tested different interactions between hags and reflex?
I have 13450hx and 4060 laptop and so far I feel like hags off reflex on gives the best both on FPS AVG and input feeling but with occasional dips.
I'm playing on 1920*1440 stretched+ dlss quality, everything on low, static rtx.
Since I have the same FPS on lower res, should be CPU bottleneck, so it is kinda strange disabling hags increasing FPS.

What's best option for you (again, raw FPS and input feeling)?
Hags on reflex on
Hags on reflex off
Hags off reflex on
Both off

oddly enough, my CPU is my bottleneck, and turning off boost in game gives more frames.

i think though, however, its because i have boost turned on in my GPU control panel. i think somehow having it turned on in GPU panel and in game was causing something to ♥♥♥♥ up a bit

most people are cpu bound in this game.

also for OP
i have hags off in windows
low latency turned to ultra in gpu control panel
reflex turned to on+boost in game.

you loose a few frames by having reflex/low latency in game turned to on+boost
in my case about 4fps, but the latency reduction is MASSIVE
and i don't mind playing at 90-110 instead of 94fps-114fps
for a huge and i mean huge latency reduction.

Thank you for response!
So far I have the best feeling with hags off reflex on too.
FPS is slightly lower but game feels more responsive. Maybe it is a placebo but since I switch game feels nicer, and mouse is sharper.

Btw, my friend have similar CPU (9600k but 3060ti card) and he constantly complains about dropping to 60 FPS in fights. Everything on low. Do/did you have similar problems?

That's actually strange, but same experience.
Since changing resolution not making difference in FPS for me seems like CPU is bottleneck but it's chilling in 30-40 usage most of the time.
Seems like nobody bothers about optimization nowadays

a thing that helped me a very small bit is increasing the mhz to the max your cpu is capable, increased mine from 2100 to 3200 got a lil bit more stable but still my cpu is somehow bottlenecking while also chillin at 30%

the lowest my fps goes is 80 on Vagas, that's with everything exploding and crumbling
i use 1080p, FSR Quality with textures on ultra, view distance on high , everything else medium or low. I do have my CPU overclocked to 4.9ghz all core and am always CPU bottlenecked, ask your friend what he has his CPU clocked at, as the i5 9600k and 8600k are nearly identical. should see what his ram is clocked to aswell

one thing i noticed is that going from 4.6ghz to 4.9ghz on all cores
made a good 20% performance difference, the game seems to really like core frequency atleast on intel. It also causes alot higher CPU temps compared to most games, even ones that also use my CPU to 100% constantly such as spiderman remastered. When the game came out i actually was getting overheating crashes, until i re-pasted the CPU and changed the fan curves in the bios, you could also ask your friend to watch his core frequency when playing as his cpu might be downclocking to keep heat under control causing dips in FPS. (i just have it set to always retain core frequency no matter what, if it gets to hot the cpu will just shut down the system instead of downclocking.)

Suprisingly turning HAGS off fixed my game from crashing, weird. Apparently anything less or equal to 8 - 12GB of Vram can cause issues with HAGS. Not my info just some random on reddit. Either way, thanks

Thank you for elaboration, that makes sense.
I don't have space to OC my CPU on laptop, it's far from being cold already (tho I'm fine with my current frames).
But that's definitely should help with dips on my friend system
