I may be wrong, but I remember reading something that most humans can't notice any lag below 200ms.

I may be wrong, but I remember reading something that most humans can't notice any lag below 200ms.
- chris_7 9y agoDefinitely noticeable in gaming, 200ms is unplayable.
- vesrah 9y agoDepends on how the game is tuned to handle it. Somehow we all played Quake / UT back in the day with that kind of ping.
- wlesieutre 9y agoFaceID with lag compensation! As soon as it sees a face it starts to unlock based on a fast prediction, then if the authoritative secure side of the chip says "No, authentication actually failed" it rolls back the clock and relocks itself!
- rootlocus 9y ago200ms can refer to network latency, input latency, frame render time, etc.
- aetherson 9y agoYou can notice sub-200ms lag, but for when you aren't specifically watching for lag or firing a series of rapid events one-after-another, sub-200ms seems to be roughly the point where it "feels instantaneous."
- Splines 9y agoIn my experience a little under 100ms "feels" instantaneous.
- coolsunglasses 9y agoThat's absolutely not true. I can tell the difference between 60 hz (16ms) and my 144 hz monitor. I can tell when my 144 hz monitor is accidentally running at a lower refresh rate, including 120, 100, 75, and 60. 200 ms is like a full react/response time for a human to take action in response to input, our actual sense of time is much finer than what our nervous system can make our muscles do.
- chris_7 9y agoIs that because of the faster refresh rate, or because none of those divide evenly into 144 and thus you're getting weird frame stretching? Curious as I just got back into gaming after several years and everyone seems to love 144fps now, wondering if I should upgrade. I have a 1080Ti, so I could presumably render that
- TylerE 9y agoG-sync my dude. No frame stretching/sync tears.
- chris_7 9y agoAh, I was just wondering if running a 144hz monitor at 60hz was like watching a 24fps movie at 30fps... if that makes sense? But the monitor can just switch its actual refresh rate.
- TylerE 9y agoYeah, it'll really trick. Upgraded to a 165hz G-Sync panel recently and it was a revelation after running at a v-synced 60hz for years and years. Order the 1080TI about a week later as the 970 I had wasn't cutting it at 1440p.
- a_t48 9y agoIf you've got a 1080TI you likely don't need gsync - it's only really useful when you're running slower than native refresh rate.
- s_kilk 9y ago200ms is five frames/changes per second, and is definitely very noticeable. You may be thinking of a figure closer to about 12ms or so, which is the approximate threshold of perception for audio lag.
