Invision & Smotri
Hey Invision, I’ve been tweaking my stream rig for a new speedrun tournament and could use a fresh perspective on how to minimize input lag and max frame rates—what’s your take on the best hardware specs for an ultra‑smooth playthrough?
Sure thing—first, lock your CPU into a low‑latency, high‑clock single‑core beast, like a Ryzen 7 7700X or an Intel i7‑13700K; keep the clock up for the few frames that matter. Pair that with a mid‑range GPU that hits 144 fps at 1080p—something like an RTX 3060 Ti or a Radeon RX 6600 XT; you’ll still see plenty of headroom for future titles. Switch to a fast NVMe SSD for instant load times and install the game on it. Pick a monitor that’s 144 Hz or higher with a response time of 1 ms and a low input lag panel—preferably a G-Sync or FreeSync certified display to avoid stutter. Use a 5‑m or 10‑m USB‑C or USB‑3.0 controller with a low‑latency firmware, and make sure your streaming software is running on a separate drive to keep the GPU and CPU focused on the game. Finally, keep your RAM at 32 GB DDR5; the extra bandwidth keeps the data pipeline smooth. That should give you the ultra‑smooth playthrough you’re after.
