As long as you are within the dynamic refresh rate range of FreeSync, you will not experience screen stuttering, tearing, or a noticeable increase in input lag. If your FPS (Frames Per Second) dips below that range, though, FreeSync stops working. The main problem here is that many FreeSyn...
As previously mentioned, since the G-SYNC module replaces the regular scaler of the monitor, G-SYNC monitors have lower input lag, though most FreeSync monitors have imperceptibly low input lag anyway. The upsides of not having a G-SYNC module include a lower price tag and more extensive co...
By itself, VSync has no bearing on graphical quality, but enabling it eliminates ugly screen tearing. While that may seem like a no-brainer, it can also tank your frame rate and increase input lag—both of which are the bane of competitive gaming. Confused about how to approach this myste...
If you're only looking to game at 1080p, at least for now, then an HDMI 2.0 connection will suffice too. But if you have the DisplayPort option, it will give you much more future-proofing capabilities, especially as we start to see DisplayPort 2.0 adoption increase in the future. It's...
FSR will be a cross-platform technologyas part of the hardware-agnostic GPUOpen library of effects. That means it will also work on Nvidia graphics cards, provided the latter adds support for it. While this is yet to be confirmed by AMD, it does line up with what AMD did withFreeSync,...
A variable refresh rate (VRR) is a great technology that is becoming more and more popular. NVIDIA calls thisG-SYNC, while AMD calls itFreeSync, but the core concept is the same. A display with VRR will ask the graphics card how quickly it is delivering the frames and adjust the refresh...
