Why do I feel Like there is input lag when I play games?

Also why is my ram capped at 1600mhz, I have a rog z390-f mother board with xmp profile 2 enabled. http://speccy.piriform.com/results/nwSZzA5j0sKHUBhJkXYDmC5 and please feel free to point anything else that may be hampering my performance.

TL;DR: 1600Mhz = 3200Mhz, because DDR = Double Data Rate.

In short, the memory runs at 1600Mhz (millions of ticks per second), but it can transfer at the 'up' and 'down' of the tick, which makes the 1600Mhz, 3200MT/s (millions of transfers per second) which the manufacturers advertise as 3200Mhz.

 

Have you ran a benchmark of your games to see the average fps and possibly 0.1% and 1% minimum fps?

I basically only play csgo, how would I go about benchmarking it? The workshop map?

Iirc there is a test for input lag.  Uses some hardware. Goes off mouse clicks iirc.  Everything has SOME input lag.  The question is how much?   Myself I rather doubt it meaningful in my case simply because my reaction times are bad enough even horrible input lag won’t make a whale of a difference. Even the lowest input lag machine in existence wouldn't be able to drag me out of the category of “wow you really do suck!”

It’s possible.  There’s a long chain of actions that happen between pressing a button and the reaction of that button press occurring. It can be anywhere in that chain though.  You need to follow the links to see what, if anything can take extra time.  This isn’t always easy to do though.  There might be an app that does part of it.  If so there will be people here likely to know.  It might take a while though.  The only way I personally know how to do it is check to see what is running when you play the game, remove something and then test.  If there was a noticeable change there may have been an action that caused it.  Adding or removing a piece of software, updating something, etc..  it’s possible one thing updated but another thing didn’t follow the update so there is lag while the apps sort each other out.

By the way, it looks like you are still on Windows 10 version 1909.

WHY are you still on 1909, and not updated to 2004 or 20H2?

 

Your memory frequency questions already got answered.

Speccy is reporting actual operating frequency, which is 1600 MHz = DDR4-3200.

Your Memory timings seems to be off... the XMP profile is DDR4-3200 16-18-18-38.

However, your memory is running at DDR4-3200 17-18-18-36.

Did you enable XMP, or just changed the DRAM Frequency ratio for DDR4-3200?
