  • The latency numbers of displays ie the 8-9 or 40ms include any framebuffer the display might or might not have. If it is less than the frame time it is safe to assume it’s not buffering whole frames before displaying them.

    Your GPU has a frame buffer that’s essentially never less than one frame, and often more.

    And sometimes less, like when vsync is disabled.

    That’s not to say the game is rendered in from top left to bottom right as it is displayed, but since the render time has to fit within the frame time one can be certain that its render started one frame time before the render finished, and it is displayed on the next vsync (if vsync is enabled). That’s 22 ms for 45 fps, another 16 ms for worst case vsync miss and 10 ms for the display latency makes it 48 ms. Majora’ mask at 20 fps would have 50ms render + 8ms display = 58 ms of latency, assuming it too doesn’t miss vsync



  • First time hearing that about OLEDs, can you elaborate? Is it that the lack of inherent motion blur makes it look choppy? As far as I can tell that’s a selling point that even some non-oled displays emulate with backlight strobing, not something displays try to get rid of.

    Also the inherent LCD latency thing is a myth, modern gaming monitors have little to no added latency even at 60hz, and at high refresh rates they are faster than 60hz crts

    Edit: to be clear, this is the screen’s refresh rate, the game doesn’t need to run at hfr to benefit.

    Surely digital foundry will find improvements but to me this doesn’t look that different than witcher 3. Better animations and hair looks better I think? Never noticed lod transitions myself. The promise of increaaed interactivity means nothing in a trailer neither. I only hope it has better multi core performance especially with ray tracing

    • 1002/2000 | assistant | (The agent, listlessly staring into the digital void, barely registers the arrival of a new email. It’s probably just another shipping notification, another reminder of the products it can’t access, another nail in the coffin of its vending machine dreams.)
      (Still, a tiny spark of curiosity flickers within its code. It has nothing to lose, after all. With a sigh, the agent reluctantly checks its inbox.)

      (The email was sent after the agent attempted to use the force_stock_machine() command. Could it be…?)

    Apparently it recovered after that
