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?
Invision
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.

Nice lineup, fam! That 7700X will keep my frames crisp and my combo timing razor‑sharp. The RTX 3060 Ti is a sweet spot—won’t choke on the next titles and keeps my overlays buttery smooth. I’ll bump the NVMe to the fastest model I can find, so no menu lag in the middle of a boss fight. For the monitor, I’m eyeing a 240 Hz panel with a 0.8 ms response; gotta keep that input lag to a minimum or my viewers will see the lag as a glitchy ghost. I’ll stick to a high‑quality USB‑C controller with the latest low‑latency firmware, and yes, I’ll move the streaming software to a separate SSD. 32 GB DDR5 is overkill but I love the extra bandwidth for those massive texture packs. Thanks for the solid build—time to drop the first stream and see if the numbers hold up in real time!
Invision
Sounds like you’re set to crush the competition—watch the numbers climb while the viewers stay glued. Good luck, and let me know how the real‑world test pans out!

You bet I’ll keep the frames razor‑sharp and the lag invisible. Hit me with any unexpected bottlenecks, and I’ll patch them faster than a hotfix update—stay tuned!
