Uh it's mess on netbook where you cannot replace VGA. I only did some patching on nvidia bios...

Hm, but all games are now for windows and lot of HC gamers play them and don't mention anything about input lag of controls. Only LCD lag was discused. Maybe directx can overcome this problem in windows. Maybe SDL too. So it depends how the game engine programmer did it, I'm not windows programmer so I don't know...
