Comment on Kill dwm.exe on Windows for less input lag and better performanceparent

Comments

On Linux I use Mangohud or libstrangle to cap framerates. For me it is not a major annoyance though, as I only play a few games regularly on Linux. I still boot into Windows after I'm done with work and play most games there.

My understanding of why this causes a problem is that the CPU starts running ahead of the GPU, and queues up frames to be rendered. So it shouldn't be a problem with games that support Nvidia Reflex or some other feature to limit pre-rendered frames.
