This video doesn't address anything besides basics. It also doesn't tell you the truth about freesync or gsync or the marketing fud. The tier list did not exist for freesync originally, you could buy a monitor branded premium pro today that was plain freesync in the past. Even now, it's not a legitimate point, you should buy based on features not branding. Freesync is also a standard outside of AMD. Cheap monitors would àdvertise it, and the Nvidia marketing dept would spread FUD on AMD for something outside their control. Nvidia also spread FUD on LFC. The monitor doesn't do LFC, the video card does LFC, you merely need a refresh window. Gsync started as a FPGA module for $200 added to the base monitor price. It became unfeasible for 4k needing active cooling fans. Nvidia rebranded freesync as gsync because their marketing was so toxic they literally couldn't sell their base on switching to the industry standard. It's basically the same thing now, and you buy solely on the monitors capability, not what it's branded. Asus seems to make better monitors in general, so that's usually the safe option. You can buy other monitors, but be careful, and there are major differences in panel types. IPS, VA, TN, OLED.

40FPS on a 60Hz monitor does not mean the last frame is repeated 20 times. Unless your GPU is somehow putting out super inconsistent framerate where you get 40 frames at 60Hz and then nothing for one third of a second, what you said is absolutely incorrect

@SoulOfTech 8 ай бұрын

Screen stuttering is the directly related to fps being skipped and/or repeated in place in a single cycle or hz. Granted there are more technicalities around the way the monitor handles such frames but the principle explanation is correct.

@@SoulOfTech No it isn't lol. If you have a consistent 40 fps on a 60hz monitor, then 20 of the frames will be repeated once each in the span of a second, it wont repeat one frame 20 times. You could have a situation where one frame repeats 20 times in a row, but you wouldn't describe that as having 40 fps, you would just describe that as a lag spike. Also, in an ideal world, your fps would far exceed your monitor's refresh rate, not simply match it. Exceeding the refresh rate of your monitor minimizes the delay between rendered frames and displayed frames, which is good. If you have 60fps and 60hz, your frames may be as old as a1/60th of a second by the time they are displayed by the monitor. If you have 120fps and 60hz, your frames can only be as old as 1/120th of a second by the time they are displayed. Higher fps essentially lowers input lag regardless of refresh rate.

@@SoulOfTech no it's not at all. In your imaginary scenario, your frame timings would look as follows: 40 times 16.6ms per frame then a sudden inexplicable spike to 334ms and then back to 16.6ms per frame and repeat At that point something is seriously wrong as you're getting huge lag spikes periodically every second Out of curiosity, how long ago did you join our ranks?

@@ScrewTSW @ja735. Again I think you are misunderstanding the point I am trying to make. Ill respond one more time to clarify my explanation also I am leaving both your explanations as I genuinely believe the viewers should have all the information available and the points you both made are totally valid. 1. My example of 40fps from the GPU to a 60hz monitor is an isolated extreme example, in the real world rarely would the frame rate stay sustained on a single number, it would constantly fluctuate to your point. 2. My example was within the instance of a single second (hz) it does not represent the on-going refresh before or after. It's far more complex to explain a varying refresh rate for an audience who has no idea what FPS or refresh rate even is. 3. You nailed it when you said in my imaginary scenario, that's exactly what it is, an extreme example to show the implications of what can happen. Rarely is screen tearing as dramatic in real life. 4. You are also correct in the instance that every frame would most likely be repeated more than once as opposed to the last frame being repeated multiple times, however that is provided the number is equally divisible (ie 30 fps over a 60hz monitor would yield each frame twice like you said) however if the frame rate is not divisible certain frames would be repeated more than others (ie: the 59 fps example). My references were no more hypothetical then your example of each frame repeating exactly twice an an imaginary world. Also I have no idea what your last question about joining ranks is lol, made me chuckle a little....

@@SoulOfTech My point was simply that in the video you misrepresented what unmatched refresh rate to FPS would do and how it behaves and misappropriated the periodic lag from the game video example to that. nothing more, nothing less and the last comment was a joke about PC Master Race

I have used Gsync for a while and i have noticed Several Unreal Engine 4 games have a stutter issue with Gsync. It apears to be a problem with games that try to testure cache while traversing, people call this traversal stutter. Dead Space, and Alone in the Dark have this problem. The only solution is to not use Gsync in those games and unfortunately the comunity, not understanding this gives a negative reaction and brands the game as broken or unfixable, yet, it you just turn gsync off the problem is gone for the most part. Go on any thread or youtube video on how to fix the traversal stutter and the only thing you wont find is the one thing that really fixes it😂

@yarg2015 Ай бұрын

So in games you basically want v-sync off so VRR can do its thing, right?

@Bleacher22 Ай бұрын

With g-sync monitor you have to enable v-sync also for a better image, but need to set a fps limit a few frames lower than your max refresh rate of the monitor to avoid input lag in the games. Probably the same with freesync monitor.

I built a PC 9 months ago, went with an AMD GPU and Freesync Premium Pro 175hz 1440p monitor, (ASUS ROG XG32AQ), now I just bought a 4070 ti Super OC without even checking if my monitor supports gsync. It says it’s gsync compatible and does 48-144hz, does that mean I can never play 30fps games again? I might have to send it back.

@OleksandrPanasiuk-h2e 4 ай бұрын

You can play at 30 fps, but the freesync won't work. The minimum fps for freesync is 48. This is the lowest frequency this monitor can produce. Below it the freesync will turn off and it will work like a regular monitor.

Buy a gpu according to your monitor. Buying a gpu paired with an ugly monitor is like buying a high quality music player paired with cheap pairs of earphones. You can’t experience it fully.

@@shingngaling4357 Sorry, but that does not answer my question. The question is: If my gpu generates 60+ framerate, why do I need g-sync?

@alexanderacosta7866 Ай бұрын

@@undefined125 Because is not that the monitor has a lower framerate, it just adapts to the framerate of your gpu, if your gpu produces less frames than your monitor can display it will cause stutter, if your gpu produces more frames than your monitor can display it causes tearing, but if your monitor adapts to the frames generated from your gpu, then those issues I just mentioned are resolved. This also means that you can buy a high refresh rate monitor, and without worrying about stuttering and then simply upgrade your pc down the line

Pretty bummed because I'm still getting tearing when using Free sync. Should I have gone with a G-sync computer monitor because I use Nvidia GPU? The whole reason I got a new monitor was to enjoy Frame Generation (which turns v-sync off) and hopefully have the benefits of the FG without having the screen tearing. It seems I'm in the exact same boat as I was before. I am glad I now have a 4k monitor so that's really nice. Any advice would be nice. PS. I watched a bunch of YT videos and have messed with all the right settings which hasn't fixed anything. In the Nvidia control panel, I have forced V sync on, switched it to off to see if that was interfering with Free Sync, switched it

For sync perfectly to work you have to free seenc ON, v-sync ON, limit fps a few frames lower than a max refresh rate of the monitor, make sure monitor's freesync compatible with gpu.
