I’ve recently upgraded from a gtx550ti (~10 y.o.) card to an RX 570 (3 y.o.), and even though I get way more performance, it introduced a noticeable inputlag in csgo.

It just doesnt feel right, and slowmo video capture confirms it.

Have you tried turning off vsync? I'm assuming you don't have a freesync monitor given the jump from nVidia to AMD.

CSGO is CPU bound, I'd suspect maybe it has something to do with the CPU rather than the GPU.

  • No other components in my setup have changed.

    I also experience the lag on my windows desktop while dragging windows.

Did vsync get turned on somehow?

  • Additionally, the input lag may have been there all along but was not perceivable due to low performance.

    • No I've done the same slowmo recording test, and it was not there.

      Also V-Sync is off now.

      AMD even has an "anti lag" feature which apparently does nothing.

      Edit: I have a Ryzen CPU, I've expected the full AMD system to work together better.

I had a similar problem, here's a few things that I noticed affecting input lag:

- Bios HPET setting

- Monitor non-native resolution (monitor has to resize screen which adds lag)

- Control Flow Guard and Data Execution Prevention settings
