How to reduce input lag

Input lag adds up from many small delays. Fix the biggest ones first.

Step by step

1. Turn V-Sync off in-game; it's one of the largest sources of added delay.
2. Use G-Sync or FreeSync if your monitor supports it, and cap FPS about 3 below your refresh rate.
3. Enable NVIDIA Reflex (On + Boost) or AMD Anti-Lag in games that support them.
4. Play in exclusive fullscreen where available.
5. Disable Enhance Pointer Precision in Windows mouse settings and use raw input in-game.
6. Use wired peripherals for competitive play.
7. Check your monitor's overdrive setting; the middle setting is often best.
