Yes, you need to be sure to install the newest NVIDIA drivers that just released this morning.

Hey, thanks for the response!

I have a laptop with a RTX 2060, and can get around 230fps average with it in mid settings.

I couldn't really see any difference in the graphs that you mentioned (input latency caused by CPU and GPU). Does this mean I'm most likely CPU bound instead of GPU?

Thanks!

Yeah you're probably fully CPU bound in whatever scenario you are testing. You may (or may not) run into GPU bound scenarios depending on whats going on in game, so it's fine to leave it On. Did you try the BOOST setting too?

Interesting! Not sure if you can talk about how the tech works? I'm curious to know if it's just late-bound constant buffers, so that after dispatching draw calls you can push a latest camera matrix. Or maybe it's more like asynchronous space warp / extrapolation with reprojection since you said this is best for GPU-bound scenarios? We have stuff like that for VR where input lag means motion sickness. The alternative would be hardware actually reading mouse input to get even lower latency, though I presume that's too far and isn't what nvidia pursued.

This article by NVIDIA describes how/why it works! It explains it far better than I can. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/reflex-low-latency-platform/

Is this tied to Geforce Experience? I'd rather not have that installed but currently Nvidia website says there are no new drivers for my card (RTX 2060).

This does not require Geforce Experience. However, it does require the latest driver so you'll need to update that manually if you don't have Geforce Experience installed.

For the boost option, turning on will give high end graphic card a boost.

I have a 1070 but I'm unsure if it's smart to use it.

It should but it may be minor. The easiest way for you to know is to test it for yourself!

How do you enable the Boost setting? Is it in the GeForce Experience?

There is a setting for Reflex under video settings in-game.

Hey, thanks for the good instruction, you're always very helpful.

Could you give a very brief example of when to leave it "On" or when to put it on "On + Boost"? Do you only put it on "Boost" mode when the GPU is below 40% usage?

In general:

I'd say use boost if you want the best input latency. Full stop, if you want the best latency use boost.

If you care about how much power your GPU uses or the fans being loud bother you, disable boost.

Any plans of offering "boost" or a similar feature to owners of AMD cards as well, if it's something that's doable on your side?

My card is sitting below 50% utilization most of the time, and I'd be interested in seeing how this would affect the framerate.

Thanks!

We'd be happy to integrate an AMD SDK if it can offer similiar functionality. I believe there are third party and AMD offerings that can do similar things today.

so the setting for boost is in game or do i have to go into nvidia settings to enable it? at work rn so i can’t check for myself

The boost setting is an option in-game and overrides any NVIDIA control panel setting.

What would be optimal render resolution and anti aliasing for using an older card?

You'll get the highest framerates by turning Anti-aliasing off and using the lowest resolution you can. In terms of optimal, I'd just use what looks good to vs what framerate feels good to you.

Sick! I can't wait to see it in action on my own rig tonight.

Best way I found to test it is go on practice range and keep spawning and despawning the practice bots, its a very significant change between on and off

Nice! I'm glad you're seeing significant gains.

Is DLSS coming to Valorant?

VALORANT doesn't currently have plans to implement DLSS.

Before this update it felt like 80 something

That's awesome! I'm glad you're seeing such drastic results.

I just did full check on this. Turned off everything but Valorant, Corsair Link and Logitech Software.
In practice range with bots spawned with boost off I get 6.3ms 5.2ms 1.45ms. Turning on reflex doest almost nothing(like at best I am gaining 0.1ms somewhere), with reflex + boost it looks better at 5.8ms 5.2ms 0.95ms.
Note that I play at capped 280fps, if I let go off the FPS cap and reflex + boost I get 4.7ms 4.1ms 0.95ms.
Do you know by any chance what latencies I should be getting on my specs and what I might want to do to decrease it?

We don't have an exact spec that matches yours so I can't give you a hard number from any testing we've done. I mean your latencies seem in the realm of possibility. At 280FPS your theoretically BEST average latency is 3.6ms. It's cool that boost is helping reduce your input latency by about 8%. We could implement a better framerate capper with Reflex but we haven't scheduled that work yet. I'm actually surprised that it adds as much as 1.1ms on your rig. Figured it be lower.

In terms of why your machine is different from /u/MaestroLA I dunno. I feel like if I could sit down with both your computers it'd still be something that'd take me all day to find out. I've seen some odd stuff. For instance, I had an HDMI cable that lowered my framerate in games. I never figured that one out.

Are you playi...

Me IRL. At least we get to miss our shots faster with the reduced input latency.

Interesting. I have 8700k @ 4.8, 3200mhz rams and RTX 2080 and get 6,2ms 5,2ms and 1,3ms. So ~60% higher latency than yours. Wonder where the difference come from.

Oh that IS odd. Does the "boost" option help you? Do you have any overlays running that could be adding additional latency?

WOW! I'm jelly, time to upgrade. Good thing those 3XXX series cards just came out, now if i can only get my hands on one...
