Fixing the heavy input delay on Sapphire RX 7650 GRE Platinum
Dragging the mouse across the screen felt heavy, almost like it was coated in glue, which is a total nightmare for an action-adventure game. Even though the Sapphire RX 7650 GRE core clocks were stable at 2300-2500MHz, the end-to-end latency was a brutal 25-32ms. I started by disabling every useless background service in Windows, but that only dropped the lag by 1ms—hardly enough to stop my frustration. I then dove into the Adrenalin settings, forced Anti-Lag on, and synced the polling rate to 1000Hz while killing all V-Sync options in-game. Using a latency tester, I saw the response time plummet from 30ms to a crisp 12-16ms, making flick shots feel effortless. I did run into some screen tearing immediately after enabling this, but that vanished once I manually locked my monitor to 144Hz. GPU temps stayed between 65-71℃ with power draw at 170-190W. After three high-intensity exploration runs, the input lag is gone and VRAM temps are holding steady at 58-63℃.
