Hey, if you actually manage to get the input latency lowered I'll be the one thanking you :D

Ha, that's a deal! This turned into a far too technical pursuit for something "extremely simple" to obtain on Windows 7 (by avoiding the "Aero" theme desktop). Just simply obtaining an actual "Vsync Off" functionality (complete with the occasional screen tear - so what) would eliminate the dropping frames/input lag.
..although now Windows 10 users need a way around the DWM. I'm guessing there's some clever whippersnapper out there in the community that can beat the devs to it (assuming of course that developers actually "want" to give us poor users a shot at joining in with our "less than cutting edge" hardware). I understand it's a business, but hey, people on older hardware pay the same price for the same software after all; so the more sales the better right?
update: Buyer Beware! If considering Optimus capable Laptops; or Current Users on/considering Windows 10.

"The developers of individual games and apps must now update their software to take advantage of the new options. Microsoft also noted that unlocked frame rates aren't currently working in laptops that have both integrated video and a discrete graphics chip."
There you have it; if your device has integrated/discrete gpu you will be unable to have a truly unlocked frame rate on Windows 10. Not good. Hopefully EA can put some requests in to microsoft to address these types of issues for "all" their users (and therefore not clog up the battlefield/EA forums with issues that end up actually being beyond their control. Thought Win 10 was marketed as a gaming friendly platform. As the heading says, "buyer beware".
