Mouse input lag with fps drop

ecently playing the game Ive noticed more and more input lag while playing, after a bit of research and testing, I've discovered that most of the problems came from fps drop. It seems like my input is always tied to the game's frame rates(which normally sits around 100 to 140), meaning that if I hot drop into turbine, since frame rates drop to around 90 to 80, the input lag just suddenly sky rocketed. Even some easy action like picking up an item or opening a loot box instantly becomes impossible.

My spec:

Gtx 1070

R5 3500x

16g ddr4 3200 ram

I've tested a lot of things like installing a clean nvidia driver, disabling full screen optimisation, high dpi scaling override.

    Hey @stupider4

    Have you tried lowering the polling rate on your mouse to see if that helps? I've seen some people say that can make a difference with issues like this.

    Sadly no, that didn't do anything. I've also change my mouse driver. And still no success.

    Gotcha, thanks!

    Have you been keeping an eye on your CPU and VRAM usage while this is happening? Are you seeing anything out of the ordinary there? 

  • @EA_Kent  yes, I discovered that whenever my gpu usage is at 99% the input lag start to kick in. I've found a place in Olympus that can perfectly recreate this bug, and I've asked several friends of mine and they all have input lag, just not as severe as mine.

    On Olympus, next to turbine there's an elevated house with a waterfall behind it, there's also three loot boxes with one of them that spawns gold loot.

    If you go near the three loot boxes and stare at the waterfall, you'll instantly feel an delay in all input.

    I've attached a file to help describe my problem. 

    Thx

    That's good info, thanks! We've been investigating the performance issues that some people have been reporting since the 9.1 update. It sounds like this might be related.
