About 12 ms
The lower the buffer size, the lower the latency. It is best to keep to fairly low buffer sizes if your system can handle it. About 12 ms or less is usually a good idea.

During playback Cubase automatically compensates any delay inherent in the VST plug-ins you use. You can specify a Delay Compensation Threshold in the Preferences dialog (VST page) so that only plug-ins with a delay higher than this threshold setting are affected.
What is ASIO guard?
The ASIO-Guard allows you to preprocess all channels as well as VST instruments that do not need to be calculated in realtime. This leads to less dropouts, the ability to process more tracks or plug-ins, and the ability to use smaller buffer sizes.

Why does my audio card have so much latency?
The bigger the buffer the more time is available for the system to process the signal and the longer is the latency/delay of the signal. Unfortunately the buffer cannot be set to any desired value. If the buffer is too small the audio card has not enough time for processing the audio signal completely.
Where do I enter buffer size in Cubase?
