AMD just revealed Anti-Lag 2, which is an updated version of the Anti-Lag feature that the company launched in 2019. Unlike the original, Anti-Lag 2 works within the game itself rather than through the driver, and AMD claims it offers upwards of a 95% latency reduction compared to the original Anti-Lag.
Recommended Videos Months later, we have Anti-Lag 2. AMD says it worked closely with Valve to get the feature working in Counter-Strike 2, ensuring that it not only works, but also that it won’t earn players a ban. Given that Anti-Lag 2 is integrated in the game directly, it works similarly to Nvidia’s Reflex feature, rather than the driver-level latency reduction we saw with the original version.

With Anti-Lag 2, AMD is able to nearly halve the latency. It seems the latency reduction for lower resolutions isn’t as extreme, however.
