does a dip FPS cause input lag?

[MARK-dam]

let's say i am playing BF4 at 60 fps.

And it dips to 50 fps. Will that cause input lag on my controller? Or the fps and input lag is 2 different things

i mean the input lag at 60 fps is the same at 50 fps?

Or the fps and input lag is 2 different things

input lag is different than what you're seeing on the screen. this is why sometimes you will lag in-game while shooting something and when the game catches up the enemy will already be dead

Input lag is totally separate. It's determinted by your device (monitor i'm assuming) where as your fps is drawn by your GPU

Input lag is the amount of time it takes for an input to be registered while fps is just the number of frames rendered by your gpu, so they are indeed different however both can make controls feel laggy (just for differing reasons)

Yes. Disable vsync, that may help.

Yes it is the same however let's say you have a frame rendered then you put an input in, the amount of time it takes for the frame with the action to render (or end results of said action if fps are really slow) depends on the fps
