Optimizing Geometry Dash with Hardware and Software

[@SeptaGon7]

good video, you should make either your mic louder or your bg music quieter though, i felt i had a difficult time hearing you in some parts due to the bg music

[@Hyperbola]

It was fine while mixing. I'll go and add subtitles whenever I can. Thanks for the feedback!

[@agsechogd6406]

Dude, thank you so much. You are so underrated, it's about time people actually care about input latency and the impact it could really have. Dropped a like and sub, and I also shared it to my friends! Good job, can't wait to see your other content. Also I didn't know about the riva tuning thing, but it helped me A LOT when it came to input lag. Thanks! Now I can do stuff like aftermath with less time and attempts.

[@charadreemurr49]

1:14 is that my laptop?

[@lolwut]

its been over 3 years since ive used the g502 lol also the bg music is a little too loud but the entire video as a whole is really good

[@Hyperbola]

The sound issue was addressed with Septa too. If you have trouble hearing me, you can put subtitles on as v1 of those is out. Thanks for the proofreading!

[@nvct2238]

Thanks! I was debating buying a viper before but now I’m pretty set, awesome vid.

[@Hyperbola]

Hi, I forgot to mention in video that the viper has a high debounce time so extra small micro clicks aren't possible. Those aren't in extreme demons so you should be fine. Glad this video helped!

[@vinz1239]

Basilisk v2 is also pretty gud

[@Dead.channel388]

Probably one of the most informative gd videos of all time, this is so well put together.

[@tewpgd325]

Damn you're so underrated this vid is too high quality btw in your experience, is razer viper really the best mouse for GD? I just don't want to waste my money and I'm planning on buying that

[@Hyperbola]

Buy a basilisk v2. It's got the same viper switches but has the ergonomics of a g502.

I know a lot of people use a keyboard instead of a mouse now. What keyboard would you recommend?

[@gregsmith8977]

try the sayodevice. it's not actually a keyboard, but it has the same sort of feel

[@limitationn]

corsair k70 or sayodevice for the price

[@BtGram]

Razer hustman v2

[@spaceFL.]

I feel like the community sleeps on the baslisk v3, having it be around 70 bucks and having the fastest actuation time out of any mouse. For me it felt like going from 60hz to 360 bypass, but with mice.

[@Hyperbola]

This was made before the basilisk v3's release. Now I'd recommend a viper 8k, g502X or a huntsmanv2 tkl

[@kimchilover18]

what input device do you recommend now?, i have a Corsair k70 with Cherry MX silvers and my mouse is a corsair harpoon, is that a good combo???

[@냉동딸기]

When I turn off V-sync I get screen tearing, is there any way to remove screen tearing without increasing input delay?

[@necrolord5799]

Nope

[@oim8405]

imagine saying "haha the difference between 3 ms and 1 ms is so big" you physically can't feel the difference between any amount of ms under 5 try it yourself, 3 ms and 1 ms feels literally the exact same anyways pretty cool video

[@Hyperbola]

I said it is 3x as worse which is technically not wrong. 3ms is also extremely good. I dont think there is a noticeable difference but everything counts in the long run! I dont think getting 300 or the new 360 hz that releases in september is a bad idea. Thanks for raising the concern!

[@BlahoogaDMD]

I’ve owned the Logitech G903 and G935 for almost 3 years now, jeez. Also both are wireless, but have minimal latency

[@Yunghamster12]

[@Hyperbola]

Basilisk v2 is probably better. It's different for everyone but the viper and basilisk v2 are in theory, the best. The g502, g903, and the new g203 light sync are all 1ms poll rates so they are really good as well. Thanks for the insight!

[@Hyperbola]

Huh, that's weird. I don't have a problem with wires and haven't looked into logi's wireless polling rate. Most wireless things are slow though. Also, mycrafted used a viper to beat the golden but used a g502 to do pretty much everything else.

[@Hyperbola]

Sure! What is it? I'm at a trampoline park rn so I'll get to you later.

[@Xenon_001]

Also what monitor would you suggest now that it's been almost 3 years since you uploaded this video and many monitors have came out since then.

[@Hyperbola]

The best current monitor is an Acer Nitro that over locks to 390hz, but you can always wait for the many upcoming 500+Hz monitors on the horizon.

[@Xenon_001]

@@Hyperbola Now there is the pg248qp that has 540Hz overclock but with ulmb 2 (Ultra Low Motion Blur 2) it has effectively over 1000Hz of motion clarity so it would be really good for gd.

[@XD1999cable]

I'm 60 Hz form many years, I think I'm going to my limits, maybe with deathadder v2 I can improve a little bit because the g203 feels inconsistence sometimes.

[@ameba21gd39]

Should I get the viper ultimate or the viper 8kHz? Nice video, really helpful!

[@Hyperbola]

I recommend the viper 8khz or the new viper v2 if you really prefer wireless. I still think the huntsman V2 TKL is the best input method but if you prefer to use a mouse and don't mind the high denounce, those are good choices.

[@proudgiraffe311]

I’m getting a new pc zooms and I hope you can help out a bit. I heard GD is very dependent on a GPU in order to run levels, so what GPU do you recommend to be able to run medium detail-high detail levels at 240hz? Also final question, can a 240hz 1ms monitor run on any pc? Or is there requirements that your PC needs to have in order to handle it? Lastly, thanks for this video it helped me out a lot!

[@arclightgd]

@@Hyperbola it has an insane amount of pretravel in the clicks, making it require more force to actuate, so that could be a problem.

[@goofydoggy1821]

thank you so much! but i just don’t fully understand the graphics card part. if you get a new computer tower does it hold a graphics card? do you have to buy it separately? can you put it in any computer tower? and which type of graphics card should i get? ps: how do you get nvidia control panel? it’s not on my computer but every tutorial i’ve watched, the creator has it

[@Hyperbola]

I'm sure there are graphics cards that are in separate towers or compartments of their own but PC towers almost always have graphics card space available. Preferably, get a high end NVIDIA graphics card that you're able to afford. Idk your budget so I'll leave that one to you. For NVIDIA control panel, you need to have an NVIDIA graphics card. If so, right click on your desktop and it should be there in the options menu. If you have an AMD graphics card, I'm sure there's a way to turn V-Sync off as well.

It will fit. Just not as well. Icedcave has a viper mini and had larger mice before and he hasn't complained yet. You might be fine but those bigger mice are definitely better.

@@Hyperbola This Viper Mini feels like crack btw. thank you

[@clumsycuber3254]

I have a wireless mouse with the option of wired. How does this work with input delay?

[@Hyperbola]

I'd use the wired mode as the connection is direct. The signal that a wireless transmitter sends to a receiver is slower than the direct connection; kinda like ethernet and wifi.

[@highoctanegames]

Exactly, because when it's wireless signals, it can go anywhere causing delay. If it's a direct current, then it has a path to follow rather than going anywhere but you'd probably not notice it too much

[@Xenon_001]

Is 360Hz really worth the upgrade from 240Hz? [(280Hz overclock) (I have the same monitor)]

[@Hyperbola]

I'm not sure tbh, but I would get the 390hz overclock if you're buying a new one, but be sure to bypass down to 360fps when playing stuff on lists. It may not be worth it if u dont play at the very top level.
