We measured this on mid and high-end rigs and only kept the tweaks that moved 1% lows, not just the average FPS counter. Here's what survived testing.
Kill input latency at the source
End-to-end latency is the metric that actually decides duels — not raw FPS. Reflex/Anti-Lag, a sane FPS cap and high polling all stack here.
Enable NVIDIA Reflex (or the AMD equivalent) where supported, run your mouse at 1000Hz+ and disable any 'enhance pointer precision' acceleration in Windows.
- NVIDIA Reflex → On + Boost (if available)
- Mouse polling → 1000Hz minimum (8000Hz on supported sensors)
- Windows pointer acceleration → Off
- Fullscreen (exclusive) over borderless where the game allows it
Cap your frame rate (yes, really)
An uncapped frame rate sounds faster but produces uneven frame times and extra latency. A cap a few frames below your refresh rate keeps pacing tight.
For a 240Hz panel, cap around 234–237 FPS. On 144Hz, target ~141. Use the in-game limiter first, then the driver as a backstop.
- ✓NVIDIA Reflex → On + Boost (if available)
- ✓Cap your frame rate (yes, really)
