MSI Cares about Latency - PS5 Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Test
46SPONSORED BY MSI - Check out the MAG 323 UPF: https://locally.link/jTMO
Before we dive into this gaming greatness, I want to make it clear that this video is sponsored by MSI. For those that are long time viewers, you might be surprised to hear that from me. Suffice to say that I wouldn’t be taking their money if I didn’t think it was the right thing to do, and when MSI asked if they could pay me to use my Open Source Latency Testing Tool on their monitor, well that’s an offer I can’t refuse. So, without further adieu, let’s get into this!
The monitor to my side here is the MSI MAG 323 UPF - a native 4K 32” 160 hertz RapidIPS panel with a whole bunch of gaming focused features. The primary of which is all to do with this little port, the HDMI 2.1 port. That’s a bit of a rarity on gaming monitors, and what’s more rare is the full implementation of the HDMI 2.1 spec - specifically ALLM and VRR. That’s Auto Low Latency Mode, and Variable Refresh Rate. The latter is one you should be familiar with in the form of Adaptive Sync, G-SYNC, or FreeSync - basically the display only refreshes when the system has a new frame ready making for a smoother and tear free experience. ALLM on the other hand is pretty new, and in short it allows the display to automatically switch modes to give you the best experience - specifically switching to a low-latency game mode when it detects you’re playing a game. It’s worth noting here that within the HDMI 2.1 spec, ALLM and VRR aren’t required features, which means MSI has put the effort into adding support for this in their monitors. This is great to see, and helps make your gaming experience better regardless of what system or console you’re playing on!
