I have an Acer Nitro Spin 5. It is a 2-1 laptop.
When I am using built in screen or external HDMI TV (TLC roku smart TV) or monitor (PG279Q) it has tangible input lag while in windows. It is tolerable but noticeable compared to what I am used to. (see desktop below).
When I load War Thunder using internal display, TLC roku TV, or even PG279Q. The input lag becomes insane! I have never seen input lag vary depending on the program used.
Why does it go from tolerable input lag to input lag so bad I feel like I am completely wasted and about to fall out of my chair. This is no exaggeration. It is atrocious.
Anyone know why or a solution to make it better? I can stand the normal input lag while typing this post but load a game and it is unbearable.
When in game my PG279Q is a little better but not by much so it isn't a display issue.
I turned all performance and battery settings to high/performance. Turned v-sync off, overclocked, unlocked everything, set buffer to 1. Installed all updates ect.
Anyone have advice on whats causing it? I can post any settings or screenshots if you want.
EDIT: I have riva stat server up and getting weird results

You can see in overlay that the frame time is jumping up and down but CPU and GPU are not overheating or overloaded. What is going on?
I tried 720p min settings and not holding 60 FPS which shouldnt be an issue. I also have the displacement and clouds on min. I know with recent up date clouds/displacement are completely broken and hose any CPU (even my 5ghz 9900k) I miss old clouds.
EDIT: Switched back to internal laptop display and I can maintain 60 fps but on TCL TV I get like 54 FPS and its crazy messed up. I am trying to get riva stat server overlay to work so I can get a picture of frame times. I am in San Francisco ATM and not in Chicago so can't test my PG279Q but I remember that was best but still was off but I didnt have stat overlay going so I can't comment on frame times with then PG279Q. I'll update and post screenshot of frame times for internal LCD when it works.
Okay, I got stat server to work for internal LCD and the frame times are way way better but still some input lag but way less. Check the dropbox link out. What is going on?!?!?
