: Set your Edit Hold Time to the minimum (0.100s) . This removes the "editing circle" delay when starting an edit. : Use a wired connection for your controller
: Switch to Performance Mode (Legacy). This is specifically designed for the lowest latency and highest FPS stability. : Switch to Performance Mode (Legacy)
Watch this updated 2026 guide for a complete walkthrough of these optimization steps:
: Always turn this OFF . V-Sync introduces a massive amount of artificial delay.
: Set this to On + Boost . This reduces system latency in GPU-bound scenarios. 2. Adjust System-Level Optimizations (PC)
