I’d like to see further explanation of using V-Sync in addition to G-Sync I thought this was redundant and just added latency issuws

[@msoltyspl]

The only extra effect ULL would have is automatic fps limit (following blurbusters' author of gsync101 explanations). If you use nvcpl max framerate slider ULL will simply follow this setting (or at least it should follow it) instead of its fixed pre-defined limits (-1 at 60, around -2/-3 at 120 and so on) if the slider is not used. If you use external (rtss) or in-game settings it will still (pointlessly) set its fixed limiter - which is literally incorrect thing to do in such case. Of course this also assumes v-sync is on. If it's off then it's just ull == on (aka set the mprf == 1 hint).

Lol poor guy, Nvidia made it confusing for sure.

[@EpiKerCovers]

@@guywithalltheanswers6942 So what is the real answer and why?

[@guywithalltheanswers6942]

@@EpiKerCovers The vysync setting tells your driver to set turn gysnc on basically. It also tells it o set your driver to vsync on when your framerate hits your displays native refreshrate. This is why you have to cap your framerate, because you don't want to get the latency from vsync on that you get with this setting. If you have framerates two to three times higher than your refreshrate you can use fast sync but it isn't as smooth usually since it skips frames to decrease latency.

[@CUBAMUSICA84]

I was at the tyrolean one lol thanks battlenonsense. Qos Just set game ports or "service port" to highest priority and set port 80 and port 443 to lowest your router will do the rest. If you are using bandwidth percentages use 67% for highest and 33% for normal. I would avoid settings for "medium" priority I think this just makes your router not sure of what it's doing. Hope this helps please give me a like if it does.

[@venomblade891]

I had been using this setup, but globally forcing NVCP V-Sync on instead of the in-game vsnc because I thought I had read somewhere that some in-game vsync solutions could have extra frame buffering or other implementations that would increase input delay compared to NVCP V-Sync on. I'll have to do some testing. Thanks for the vid!

[@KleskReaver]

The_Cosmo its for both G-Sync module and G-Sync Compatible displays, V-Sync On makes the GPU wait for a complete frame before sending it to the monitor thus eliminating tearing completely (this is in addition to your refresh rate matching your frame rate which G-Sync does by itself which already helps with tearing but V-Sync takes it just that extra step further) V-Sync doesnt behave the same way when G-Sync is on vs G-Sync off which is why Nvidia need to rename the V-Sync option when G-Sync is on, its confusing people everywhere

[@Oldsah]

I have a freesyc monitor but the overshoot introduced at 50-100fps is too much and manually lowerig it every time is really bothersome. That's why variable overdrive is so good. Also at 240hz tearing is much less noticeably so I leave it off.

[@skryabin5167]

With Gsync/Vsync On + ULL@Ultra the nvidia drivers will automatically cap the framerate at 225fps (240Hz monitor), the manual fps cap at 236 is too high in this case. We know usually the best input lag is achieved using the in-game options, while nvidia frame limiter and RTSS are suboptimal choices (even though the frametimes can be better). If you want the definitive lowest input lag config maybe it's better to manually cap the game something below 225fps while using ULL@Ultra, to avoid the automatic nvida frame limiter...but without testing I'm not so sure, what do you think? do you have any data for the input lag when the automatic 225fps cap is applied (gsyncON/vsyncON/ULL@Ultra scenario) compared with a slightly lower ingame cap?

When pairing with gsync, theres definitely games that works better with ingame vsync and some work better with nvcp vsync, you just have to test it yourself. But with my observation after owning gsync monitors for 6 years, older games work better with nvcp vsync, they usually tend to do more than just vsync and cause stuttering etc. Newer games have better in game vsync.

[@journey4109]

Let's say, I play mostly old single player fps/rpg's. After buying 144hz monitor, it brought more headache for choosing right refresh rate along with fps cap, vsync. Each game has own frame limiter, quite often it's not obvious positive result after turning on freesync. I ended up setting fixed 75fps cap/75hz for all games without vsync.

[@GENKI_INU]

Freesync, Vsync and Gsync all add at least 1 frame of latency, which would be an additional 16.7ms at 60 fps for example. In my opinion, the tech is overrated since most games are optimized enough to not have much perceptible frame tearing to begin with. So unless you're displaying your gaming footage to an audience, I wouldn't bother. Just use the game's built-in frame limiter at your refresh rate and call it a day.

Luciano R and that’s a voluntary transaction between nvidia and the monitor manufacturer. What’s your point?

[@BattleNonSense]

At the foundation everything is "VESA Adaptive Sync". :) Main difference between "AMD FreeSync" and "NVidia G-Sync Compatible" is that nvidia has a certification process for monitors to ensure that these monitors meet certain standards. There are many Adaptive Sync monitors out there which have major issues _(flickering, very narrow VRR, ...)_ even when you use them with an AMD GPU. Those won't get the "G-Sync Compatible" stamp, which is a good thing for the end user as he then knows that he cannot expect much from these devices. I would hope that AMD starts to do the same thing in the future.

I don't understand. When you cap your fps lower than refresh rate it should use adaptive sync of your display. So why we can see tearing in bottom of screen? Why adaptive sync don't eliminate it? Pls explain

[@fran117]

The answer is frametime variances. “Frametime” denotes how long a single frame takes to render. “Framerate” is the totaled average of each frame’s render time within a one second period. At 144Hz, a single frame takes 6.9ms to display (the number of which depends on the max refresh rate of the display, see here), so if the framerate is 144 per second, then the average frametime of 144 FPS is 6.9ms per frame. In reality, however, frametime from frame to frame varies, so just because an average framerate of 144 per second has an average frametime of 6.9ms per frame, doesn’t mean all 144 of those frames in each second amount to an exact 6.9ms per; one frame could render in 10ms, the next could render in 6ms, but at the end of each second, enough will hit the 6.9ms render target to average 144 FPS per. So what happens when just one of those 144 frames renders in, say, 6.8ms (146 FPS average) instead of 6.9ms (144 FPS average) at 144Hz? The affected frame becomes ready too early, and begins to scan itself into the current “scanout” cycle (the process that physically draws each frame, pixel by pixel, left to right, top to bottom on-screen) before the previous frame has a chance to fully display (a.k.a. tearing). G-SYNC + V-SYNC “Off” allows these instances to occur, even within the G-SYNC range, whereas G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” (what I call “frametime compensation” in this article) allows the module (with average framerates within the G-SYNC range) to time delivery of the affected frames to the start of the next scanout cycle, which lets the previous frame finish in the existing cycle, and thus prevents tearing in all instances. And since G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” only holds onto the affected frames for whatever time it takes the previous frame to complete its display, virtually no input lag is added; the only input lag advantage G-SYNC + V-SYNC “Off” has over G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” is literally the tearing seen, nothing more.

You always have to enable gsync with vsync, to even out frametimes without adding input lag

I have a 165 Hz G Sync monitor and have capped frame rate globally in the NVIDIA Control Panel at 161 FPS. But when I turn on the refresh rate counter for my monitor in a game, I see 165, not 161. Shouldn't I be seeing 161, since the monitor adjusts its refresh rate to the FPS, which cannot go above 161 FPS? What gives?

[@carljohnson-ie7lm]

do urself a favor and limit ur framerate through riva tuner statistics instead of nvidia control panel, with nvidia control panel i still got random stutters while RTSS is butter smooth btw some games like csgo ignore RTSS and i bet nvidia control panel as well

[@DoctorZaius]

@@carljohnson-ie7lm What's crazy is that the NVIDIA Control Panel's setting does work, since the FPS counters for the game show a max of 161 FPS. And G-Sync works since the monitor's frame counter does decrease under load. The problem is it caps at 165, not 161!

@@carljohnson-ie7lm I saw no difference with frame times between NVCP and RTSS (both a straight line during gameplay no hitches or stutter), but it feels more responsive/less input lag with NVCP

[@CoCo.-_-]

refresh rate and frame rate are not the same thing so what you have is fine do not worry

[@DoctorZaius]

@@CoCo.-_-I know they are not the same thing but the point of G-Sync technology is to make the monitor's refresh rate adapt to the application's frames per second. So in this case, they are - or are supposed to be.

I just bought the Asus VG259QM and I’m having really annoying issues, I have a dual display setup and when the VG259QM is connected via DP with or without Gsync enabled when the Monitors wake up from sleep as the energy saving plan all my windows get moved to one monitor, this also happens while connected via HDMI but only when Gsync is enabled. I believe is because the Asus monitor take too much time to wake up from sleep.
