That allowed you to keep the number of frames in the render queue down.<\/p>\n<p>With \u201cUltra-Low Latency\u201d mode, frames are submitted into the render queue just before the GPU needs them. This is \u201cjust in time frame scheduling,\u201d as NVIDIA calls it.

However, it only works with DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 games. In DirectX 12 and Vulkan games, \u201cthe game decides when to queue the frame\u201d and the NVIDIA graphics drivers have no control over this.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s when NVIDIA says you might want to use this setting:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cLow Latency modes have the most impact when your game is GPU bound, and framerates are between 60 and 100 FPS, enabling you to get the responsiveness of high-framerate gaming without having to decrease graphical fidelity. \u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, if a game is CPU bound (limited by your CPU resources instead of your GPU) or you have very high or very low FPS, this won\u2019t help too much. If you have input latency in games\u2014mouse lag, for example\u2014that\u2019s often simply a result of low frames per second (FPS) and this setting won\u2019t solve that problem.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_warning\"><p><strong>Warning:<\/strong> This will potentially reduce your FPS. This mode is off by default, which NVIDIA says leads to \u201cmaximum render throughput.\u201d For most people most of the time, that\u2019s a better option.
