I measured the input lag on the flippers by recording audio: first sound is made by the key, second sound is from the speaker (flipper effect sound). This testing method eliminates the monitor input lag from the equation. Very simple to measure the delay between the sounds on an audio editor. My monitor is Dell U2713HM with about 30 ms latency. Running Windows 7 and NVIDIA GTX 970.
I have:
180 ms latency when played on a PS3 controller* (USB)
220 ms latency when played on a keyboard
* = Through XInput or MotionJoy, no difference. I think the joy.cpl Game Controllers / Properties light toggling does not have any lag except for the small monitor lag.
So it seems there is a slightly better response on the USB controller, but the lag is still horrible. I expect to play this type of game with basically 0 lag as it's all about timing. I have already tried the NVIDIA Control Panel / Manage 3D Settings / Maximum pre-rendered frames = 1 trick. That does not have ANY effect. Also I tried the D3D antilag hack ( http://www.kegetys.fi/d3d-antilag-v1-01/ ), definitely no effect whatsoever (even with the FPSlimiting functionality).
What else can I try? Can someone confirm lower latencies than 180 ms (which is huge) on their system? I prefer under 10 ms latency.
