To show your latency and FPS, you need to go to the in-game menu by pressing “ESC” . Go to the settings and you will see multiple tabs on the left side once opened.

Basically, your response time is 2x the latency , which means if you lower your latency by 250ms, you’ll also reduce your game response time by 500ms, which is half a second. If you lower your latency by 500ms, you’ll also reduce your game response time by 1000ms, which corresponds to a second, and so on.
