MONITORS WITH REFLEX
LATENCY ANALYZER
The Nvidia Reflex Low Latency Mode feature
helps the majority of gamers out there—
people who want their games to both look
good and feel good. The other half of
Nvidia’s Reflex suite focuses on esports
obsessives: people who play their games on
low visual settings to eke out every drop of
responsiveness, and who don’t mindspending money to optimize their setup.
The Reflex Latency Analyzer comes
integrated in four 360Hz G-Sync Esports
monitors being unveiled Tuesday. These
monitors are built around a new G-Sync
processor that includes a USB pass-through
port that was itself carefully tuned to avoid
adding latency. Nvidia also worked with
peripheral makers to create Reflex-compatible
mice that send packets with exact click-timing
information.
When you plug a Reflex-compatible
mouse into the designated USB port on the
rear of your display, and configure an
on-screen box to identify your muzzle flash,
Reflex Latency Analyzer can measure mouse
latency, PC and display latency, and an overall
system latency.
That’s very helpful info for latency
optimization while
you’re tinkering with
game settings or
hardware upgrades.
Previously, you
needed a 1000fps
camera or specialized
testing equipment to
measure overall
system latency. With
Reflex Latency
Analyzer, it’s displayed
in real time via a new
on-screen display in
The Asus ROG Swift PG259QNR we used for testing. GeForce Experience.
