What's PSNow's input lag?

Frankieanime158 · April 6, 2017

Considering the service is coming to PC, I'd love to finally be able to play The Last of Us. Of course I'd never play a fast paced FPS or anything, but for slower games, how awful is the input lag? Because I absolutely despise the lag you get from Vsync, how much worse then that will it be..?

If you don't like Vsync lag, you will just about claw your eyeballs out at PSNow lag.

Vsync delays your output by one frame IIRC, which at 60FPS is 16ms on average.

your ping is most likely higher than that. plus, your connection needs to transmit an entire frame, so it will take a while.

maybe like 3 or 4 times the lag of Vsync. although this is estimation, and I haven't acutally ever used PSNow. I just know it's never as good as playing the game locally.
