How do I reduce input lag??

A G-Sync or FreeSnyc set up would reduce input lag. In USF4 G-Sync had just 0.1 frames more input lag than V-Sync off while FreeSync matched V-Sync off. Both options improved input lag by 2.6 frames over standard V-Sync.

If you happen to be playing on a tv, make sure it's set to game mode. Any of those other 'feature' display modes can increase input lag.

Yes turning V-sync off will reduce your input lag.

However, if you plan on going to tournaments then you will be playing on a ps4 and it might screw you, because a ps4 feels like pc with V-sync on.

You might want to consider that.

If you only play on pc then sure go ahead and turn off V-sync.

Your reasoning is correct, however I would always advise people to only play PC tournaments, Alex Valle has already mentioned the input lag difference on PS4 and uses PC setups for his tournaments. I would never go to a tournament that only supports SFV on a PS4.

PC setups only is an utopia at least for bigger tournaments.

In my opinion you can only make this possible at small local tournaments.

I do not think that PC will become the standard platform to play on.

It did not work with USF4 and it will not work with SFV, because Sony is the sponsor and provides the hardware.

Moreover, a PS4 is easier to set up and people cannot really ♥♥♥♥ something up.

It is nice to hear that Alex Valle wants to switch to PC for his tournaments.

I know that he had similliar plans for USF4, but I am not sure if WNF was played on PC or XBOX360.

However, I do share your opinion that SFV should be played on PC setups if possible.

Unfortunately, this is very unlikely for bigger tournaments :(

Gootecks recommends turning off vsync at all cost. Period.
Some input device can cause input lag, too:

There is also display lag. Most pc monitors have rather low to almost no display lag, but with big tvs it is a completely different story. Use gaming mode if you can and remember that some tvs only have low display lag if you use a specific hdmi connector.

You can get information about your model here:

You also want to use ethernet over wifi. If the distance to your router is too long (or you don't want long cables in your house), you could opt for a powerline adapter.

This may sound stupid but, if your PC setup can output a solid 60fps with vsync on (no drops), what's the point on turning it off since it is running at the speed it should?

Input lag, which is what this thread is about ;)

^This is a very good explanation why V-Sync on causes lag, no matter how good your PC is, since it depends on your screens ability to display frames in a certain time. The downside of V-Sync off is screen tearing. The most annoying screen tearing I've ever encountered with vsync off was in Assassin's Creed Black flag..unplayable when set to "off". But 99% of times I play with V-Sync off.

So, in the end, it only (mostly) matters to those of us that have a 60hz display.
So, if you have a 120hz display, enabling/disabling vsync wont change much.
This was the doubt I had, since my display works at 60hz but I haven't noticed any mayor input lag even with vsync enabled. (Which is weird, I know)

to reduce input lag u need a low gtg monitor that runs at 75+mhz(using a dvi or display port cable) do not use a hdmi cable on monitor. Get a Asus or BenQ monitor. On another note SF5 has a huge amount of input lag inherently.

[GODxFIST]

Also if using windows 10 there are some problems with Vsync so you should always disable it.

You will have a game with two different lag input and since nobody playing the game without v synch, you will have a different input lag in training mode, and a vsynch input lag online.
So yeah great idea turn that v synch off

Based on what? Who gave you that information? Have you run actual tests?

there is an input lag difference between local versus, singleplayer, and online versus. Here's a video going over it.

It's pretty bad how high the input latency is relative to USFIV and independent fighters like SG.
