Opinions/Comments needed - Latency and Frames.

[Zeruel]

Hello!

 

So I just wanted a few opinions of Latency and frame times.

 

 

I bought a Avermedia ExtremeCap U3 which utilizes USB 3.0 to transfer uncompressed video to the screen. I will be using this with the ROG Swift since the swift only has ONE DisplayPort; obviously  consoles ( In this case an xbox360 ) do not utilize the glorious DisplayPort. 

 

Currently I have the BENQ XL2420T 120Hz monitor and I have my setup like this...

 

Xbox360 --HDMI--> Avermedia ExtremeCap U3 -- USB 3.0--> Computer --> Rec Central Software --> Displays to Screen

 

 

Avermedia says Rec Central will display the video output with almost no latency, and I found up recently that while playing through Rec Central there is a 3 Frame lag time.

 

If my math is correct

 

Consoles "do" 30fps or 60fps. 

 

At 30fps: 1second / 30Frames = 0.03_ s/Frame          |   0.03_ * 3  =  0.1 seconds == 100ms

At 60fps: 1second / 60Frames =  0.016_  s/Frame      |   0.05_ * 3 = 0.05 seconds == 50ms

 

 

So I was wondering if a latency of 50ms and 100ms is of any concern. 

 

This is very opinion based and just like how some people struggle to see 60Hz or 120Hz I want to know other peoples experiences with this type of lag time. I personally don't think I notice any lag time, but the though of it comes to my mind every so often. The BENQ I have is already low latency 5ms( 2ms GTG ) and the ROG Swift claims 1ms so would the make the issues of latency lower overall? 

 

Thanks for your opinions and comments, very interested to read them!

Fps is frames per seconds,not seconds per frames.Not like this matters too much,but hey

[Woohoo]

@Nineshadow But 30FPS equals 1second / 30frames like OP said.

seconds per Frame calculates the number of seconds it takes for 1 frame to be displayed. In this case it takes lets say for 60fps, it takes .016_( ~16ms ) seconds to display one frame.

I'm not retarded you know.

I never said you were, but I was a bit confused when you said "Fps is frames per seconds,not seconds per frames". Was I not very clear when differentiating between the two when displaying my data?
