> I think there is a subtle difference between fps (avg) and latency

Yup, I only mentioned 60Hz, because 16.667 ms is more obvious WRT latency but less known.

No, RB allows you to set up the audio and video latencies, and since the track is fully known, it’s able to apply negative latency to everything but the input (which, being physical user input, is the only thing that can’t be altered).

So you set up input->audio latency and input->video latency values and the game will internally play them ahead, so that they appear exactly in sync in the physical world.
