Reflex Low Latency Delivers Lowest Input Lag, Special K Wins on Smoothness – Here’s How Every Major FPS Limiter Performs in Cyberpunk 2077

A presentation slide titled 'FPS Limiter Guide' contrasts 'Uncapped Framerate' causing 'Tearing/Stutter' with 'Capped

Team Green’s Reflex Low Latency combined with VSync and G-Sync delivers the lowest PC latency we measured—17.6ms in Cyberpunk 2077—but it comes at the cost of frame-time consistency. If smoothness is your priority, Special K’s Latent Sync mode hit an adaptive STDDEV of just 2.4 FPS while keeping latency at a reasonable 20.8ms. And if you just want tear-free visuals without fuss, VSync still produces the flattest display times—though at a 52.1ms latency penalty that competitive players will feel immediately. We tested ten popular framerate limiters using CapFrameX in a standardized Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark run, focusing on four key metrics: […]
