Simonharris, you do not understand latency at all and Hvyen has been little help to you in this respect.
Do you use a midi keyboard when playing softsynths like Sylenth or Gladiator? If you do then there will be latency. You may not be able to hear it but no setup can give 0 latency. There will be a slight delay from when you press a key on your midi keyboard and to when you hear the sound from your speakers.
Using the Virus in TI mode (usb) there will be a small amount of latency when you press the keys, just the same as with a soft synth. However if you have a decent soundcard with good drivers, the delay will be tiny and likely unnoticeable - the same as your soft synths.
In regards to your comments about using presets and not wanting to have to tweak them - If this is how you approach your productions (which is fine, each to our own), then I would suggest that the Virus, or any other synth would be a waste of your money. Especially a synth that costs what the virus does.
You would be better with Romplers like Nexus and Omnisphere. These have huge librarys of built in sounds ready to go that sound very high quality. Omnisphere is actually a synth as well so you can really tweak and create new sounds where as Nexus is a lot more limited in what you can do to the sound other than basic filter and FX stuff. But either way, a rompler like Nexus is aimed at those who just want ready to go, high quality sounds with little to no tweaking required.
The Virus does have thousands of presets, some of them very good, but if you don't want to do any tweaking then you will likely be spending all your time browsing through presets trying to find one that fits your track.
SYNTHS ARE MEANT TO BE TWEAKED!!!
