What determines the effect of viscosity in games?

Question

Windows

I do not know how to call it correctly, I'm sure that there is a generally accepted term. The point is that in modern games at high graphics settings, when moving, there is an effect, as if slowing down, and this is not so much a subsidence of fps (although it is also present), but rather a somewhat slow reaction to the player's actions. Config: i3-6100/8 Gb RAM/RX460 2Gb/SSD/W10 Pro. Drivers are all up to date. I understand that the config is not particularly playful, but I would like to determine the "weak link" that directly affects this effect.

Answer 1

Disable sync.
The effect of viscosity can be in poor response from devices.

Answer 2

Yes, at least from what it can be, starting from drawdowns in the voltage of the power supply line and ending with a lack of RAM or GPU memory or a weak GPU itself, a lack of core frequency (in frequently-dependent Lara Croft games, for example), a lack of CPU data processing speed (low-threading, small cache), etc. etc. MSI Afterburner is here to help . Although in your case, everything is clear.
in your case, everything is a weak link except ssd.

Answer 3

Read about frame time (not frame rate). This is the same effect in which responsiveness in control disappears.
Here is the article

Answer 4

This is exactly the FPS drop, and nothing else, if the game allows you to display your own counter value - display it and make sure.

Answer 5

It seems to me that you have problems with the hard drive, although this may not be the case, it may be overloaded, because of this, both the video card and the processor can be 100%, try turning off the torrent and the rest of the unnecessary software
The Geforce Experience utility has a detailed graphics setting for games , as well as presets, try to disable something there, look for what slows down the game, some kind of Motion Blur, etc. vsync and so on
It looks something like this:
There are more settings here than in the game itself, and "pressets" can be downloaded from the Internet, set automatically according to your hardware, then manually reduce the values ​​until the game starts running at least 100FPS to make it comfortable
If you have a Radeon, then sell and buy a GeForce, I always had problems in games with Radeon, it seems to me that Radeon is more of a card for work than for entertainment, although there may also be similar utilities for it.
And put games from steam and not broken ones
