Yeah, my roomie will actually play SFV now that Urien is in it and we had a hootin' hollerin' time

Also yeah, how the hell do you have half a frame?

bebaloorpabopalo posted:

It means they did the test say 10 times and 5 times the input lag was 6 frames and 5 times it was 7 frames. It's absolutely meaningless to convey it like that, because variables mean every game will inherently fall in between two whole numbers and with a large enough data set average out to "x and a half" frames.

The biggest result is the only one that matters.

SF5 has 7 frames of input lag.

Like, the image on your TV changes 60 times a second, so you can't really have a half of that. Unless you're talking about screen tearing when your refresh rate is hosed up or something.

I think the way they measured this was with the number of draws between two screen buffers. So, it probably took them something like 7 back and front buffer swaps plus something like a partly drawn backbuffer before something actually happened between the period of the first button press and the beginning of the first animation frame.

Can't really explain it Lehman’s terms but either way, it's still probably not the best way of actually counting the input lag. There are definitely better way they could've just done test harnesses, but judging by their work on that second to last patch, Capcom programmers are either programming bots or they're lazy as gently caress.

TL;DR: Capcom programmers are too lazy to properly count frames, probably.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
The number comes from somebody recording them pressing a button in front of a monitor and counting the number of frames in a 60fps video between that and an action occurring on-screen. It was 6 half the time and 7 half the time and so they averaged it to 6.5

I don't know where you get the idea Capcom would put the effort into measuring it and would publish numbers.

It's 7 frames in practice on PS4 now. Ignore the half-frame talk.
Anti-aliasing has nothing to do with input-lag on PC, you're thinking of VSync and yes, PS4 still has more lag than PC with VSync turned off.

Since it seems like everyone instantly discovered that Vsync is the culprit behind the lag, why the hell is there no button to shut it off?

Hell if you're scared of reviewers getting mad about some minor screen tear, have Vsync enabled by default and allow it to be disabled in Options. Do like PS3 Xrd and just call the options Quality and Performance or something to avoid admitting any fuckup.
