Yes! I have been crying about latency for nearly 10 years [1]. Computing has always been optimising for throughput. And before Pro Gaming, there just hasn't been a marketable incentive for companies to work on / minimise latency. Now we finally do!

Even in the best case scenario, the lowest latency is still 25ms, and in most cases we are still above 50ms. I think it is worth posting [2] Microsoft Research on Input latency. It would be nice if we could get average system end to end latency down to sub 10ms level. Which is what I hope work on VR will bring us.
