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.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

Does a 4000Hz or 8000Hz mouse help in CS2 at 240Hz?

Yes, it cuts report delay from 1.0ms down to 0.125ms and feeds positional data more smoothly into the sub-tick system.
