Followed the advice, and honestly it just worked—was about to rage-quit this game after a week of stuttering. Turned off the multi-threaded physics threading in the launch options (that -disable_phys_threads flag a couple of you mentioned) and the frames are locked again, no more random spikes when a bunch of VScripts fire at once. Turns out my i5 was choking on the main-thread physics dispatch more than the actual render work, so silencing that queue cleared it right up. Big thanks, guys—finally back to 144fps and the whole mess is solved.

Here’s the thing most people miss when comparing these two: you’re not really comparing “instant” versus “fast”—you’re comparing two fundamentally different mechanisms with different failure modes. OLED pixels switch via charge injection into the organic layer, so you get ~0.1ms GtG and zero overshoot by design. Fast IPS overdrive literally over-volts the liquid crystals past their target angle and hopes they settle—so the failure mode is always the same: overshoot halos on high-contrast edges or inverse ghosting when the drive undershoots. The edge case nobody talks about is temperature. My Fast IPS (XFastIPS at 240Hz) pulls noticeably worse GtG on a cold panel in winter, sometimes 3-4ms on dark-to-light transitions until it warms up. OLED doesn’t care about room temp at all, which is exactly why I run it for competitive FPS—zero variance means muscle memory stays consistent. But watch for OLED’s own edge case: sub-60Hz modes and low-brightness PWM can introduce visible smearing on dark-to-dark motion, and the “inverse ghosting” you see on some OLEDs during dark scenes is actually

Great topic. The core distinction everyone glosses over is where the optical flow gets computed. DLSS 3 relies on dedicated Optical Flow Units on Ada Lovelace — these are custom silicon that sample a semi-dense grid of pixels between two reference frames and compute motion vectors with a learned cost-volume model, feeding that plus depth/motion vectors to the tensor-core frame interpolator.
