Technical Methodology & Benchmark Guide

Segment-by-Segment Latency Distribution

Mouse MCU & Polling Rate
1.3 ms (11.5%)
Mouse at 1000Hz with optical switch. Mean sampling interval: 0.50 ms.
CPU Engine Simulation
1.88 ms (16.6%)
Time required for the game main thread to consume raw input and assemble draw calls.
GPU Frame Render Time
4.17 ms (36.8%)
Physical frame rasterization and shading time (240 FPS = 4.17 ms).
Render Buffer / Low Latency Mode
0.92 ms (8.1%)
NVIDIA Reflex active: backpressure buffer drained right before frame render.
Display Scanout & GtG Response
3.08 ms (27.2%)
Monitor at 240Hz (mean scanout: 2.08 ms) with 1 ms GtG panel.
