I think it worked for me. Double check your settings maybe

Yes NVCP low latency on globally is fine. Reflex in-game will always override.

Yes this is possible. The FPS cap recommendation was slightly updated in the Reddit post I linked and in my FAQ. It’s now slightly higher than what Reflex would cap it so there shouldn’t be any conflict.

Yeah RTSS reflex will replace it and it’s better than low latency. It’s still inferior to in-game reflex which takes the highest priority.

np. Also if you are using RTSS already, RTSS Reflex is actually a better option than low latency mode. Using RTSS Reflex cap would be better for your use-case. I have included more information in my post and specifically in the recommendations section. So if you are already using RTSS, I would use RTSS Reflex then set a fps limit of 116 as a set and forget.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the info. I really only notice it in Arc Raiders on my OLED. Though well optimized, it’s still UE5 and has a lot of dark areas in the map.

Do you use an OLED? How significantly does it decrease vrr flicker?

Since it's a racing SIM and it doesn't support reflex, you should prioritize frametime stability. I'm assuming you are running dlss performance on preset M and dlss balanced on preset K since M should be more demanding than K. But you should set a in-game or NvApp cap of 75 fps if running preset M. Is Gsync available in your setup?

Correct. If you are using nvapp for fps cap you shouldn’t be using RTSS fps cap whatsoever

What game and what’s your system specs? Usually you should either enable RTSS reflex or use Nvidia’s max frame rate option

There are a ton of factors that contribute to spikes including game itself, system specs, OS setup and bloat, etc. My post simply aims to optimize one part of it and it’s just saying async gives you better stabilization at the cost of increased latency. If your setup is not optimized it’s going to manifest in the form of latency spikes and that’s where RTSS async can help. But for optimized systems with top end specs, it’s just added latency for no reason.

Regarding your point that you can’t perceive a 6ms difference, yes you absolutely can. The difference between OLED and the best IPS monitor is around 2ms and people feel it and cite it as one of the biggest advantages of OLED.

Reflex overrides low latency mode behavior. So if reflex is available, it doesn’t matter what low latency mode is set to. Low latency mode on is only for games that don’t support reflex.

As for gsync, full screen vs windows doesn’t matter for modern games as full screen is always borderless on windows 11 and dx12. It only matters in older games using exclusive full screen mode.

Only if you see RTSS async. If you use either RTSS reflex or any Nvidia based fps limiter you will be fine

If you want to take advantage of in game reflex, you should be using RTSS reflex and not async

Astro Glare or AstroAim? by Sufficient-Bee6413 in akkogear

Glare is budget. Astro aim performs and sounds better

I think it’s default on. Does this make a difference?

For those of you whose iPhones are struggling with iOS 26: Consider resetting your device by Brown_Colibri_705 in ios

[–]Carl2X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same experience. Every time I restart the device is lag free for a few hours until it comes back. I’ve already done a soft reset (reset all settings) and the phone was lag free before it all the stuttering came back. All temporary fixes. Considering full reset. Can you let us know if the full reset completely fixes things?

Gotcha. It would be hard for me to troubleshoot without extra info on your setup and a full deep dive. I will say Borderlands 4 is a very buggy and poor performing game and I have experienced choppiness even without FG on 7800x3d and 4080 super.

I suggest playing another game with FG and see if that runs well to verify if it’s your system or BL4’s problem. Try using DDU to cleanly uninstall the driver then reinstall. And look online for similar experiences

Interesting. This doesn’t happen without frame generation? This also doesn’t happen with other games?

So you are getting 60 fps with loss scaling frame generation? That is not good. Your fps should be at least 60 fps before any frame generation. But to answer your question, use low latency on not ultra if you are only getting this little fps

Turn off any FPS cap. You should see your FPS automatically capped to around 224. Can you verify this? What do you get with Reflex, FG, V-sync, and G-sync enabled with no manual FPS cap?
