Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has experience with an issue similar to this on either their ROG Strix SCAR II, or different laptop that displays the same behavior.
I am playing Rocket League with this laptop (144hz, GTX 1070, i7 8750h) and everything works as it should when the laptop is plugged in. When I unplug the laptop, performance takes a hit (obviously), and I am running at about 25% GPU capacity. Fortunately, RL still plays at 60FPS with lowered settings with ease. My issue is that when I've unplugged the laptop, I all of a sudden experience a ton of input lag with my USB gamepad.
I use GeForce Experience Battery Boost to set my FPS limit to 60, but regardless of my frame cap, I still am having what feels like 50-100ms of input lag when I am in game. While plugged in, this isn't a problem, I input on the gamepad, and the game responds instantly, but unplugged, I feel a ton of lag in game. It feels like all of a sudden I am streaming the game over a network or something, and nothing responds as quickly as it should.
Maybe the 144hz display has an increased delay while running on battery? Perhaps there is a setting that can be changed to eliminate this?
Thanks for the help in advance.
