Unlike G-SYNC, it works with any display, and while it’s still a fixed refresh rate syncing solution, its third buffer allows the framerate to exceed the refresh rate, and it utilizes the excess frames to deliver them to the display as fast as possible. This avoids double buffer behavior...
Unlike G-SYNC, V-SYNC must attempt to time frame delivery to the fixed refresh rate of the display. If it misses a single one of these delivery windows below the maximum refresh rate, the current frame must repeat once until the next frame can be displayed, locking the framerate to half...
I went into the G Sync Program Settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel and changed the Monitor Technology from GSYNC to Fixed Refresh for Adobe Premiere Pro. Unfortunately, the screen just kept flickering black (I assume this is where the stuttering was happeni...
Without VRR, monitors refresh the screen at fixed time intervals. For example, a 120Hz monitor refreshes the screen every 8.3 ms (milliseconds). This works well if the source generates a new frame at the same rate the monitor refreshes, as every refresh cycle on the monitor gets a new, c...
One thing I didn't have a chance to fully clarify about this in my article is the exact difference between 60 FPS @144Hz/240Hz on a G-SYNC display vs. 60 FPS @144Hz/240Hz on a fixed refresh rate display. Those not knowing the in-and-outs could easily be confused why both display...
Prevalence of white lines: Regardless of the refresh rate you set in the OSD menu (180Hz, 144Hz, 120Hz, or 240Hz) and with all other settings reset to default, do the white lines still appear? Firmware impact: Did the white line issue persist on firmware 104? You ...
3. Adaptable refresh rate Monitors are engineered with fixed refresh rates whereas GPUs come with variable refresh rates that change according to the particular image being rendered. This mismatch of refresh rates is the root cause of screen-tearing, input lag, and...
NVIDIA's G-Sync is a combination of software and hardware technologies that allows a modern GeForce GPU to control a variable display refresh rate on a monitor equipped with a G-Sync module. In traditional setups a display will refresh the screen at a fixed interva...
Monitor manufacturers have come up with new technology in recent years to improve your gaming experience. One of those is variable refresh rate (VRR) support which matches the refresh rate of your monitor with the frame rate of your source.
With v-sync working on a monitor with fixed refresh of 60 Hz, you will only ever see framerates of 60, 30, 20, 15, etc. That's fundamental to how v-sync works and now you say G-Sync is more about displaying unlocked framerates above ~50 FPS without judder. So, which is it...
