I did some more testing. So turns out the delay when playing RL is real. The reason is Vsync. Turns out I currently can't have Gsync on my TV because my GPU is ancient. When I turn off Vsync the delay is absolutely playable, though it does get choppy at times. My new rig will most likely solve all of the issues with actual solid frames, Gsync and I would assume that Nvidia Reflex will help as well. It should definitely be enough to play RL at a high level.
