Nvidia G-Sync vs Adaptive-Vsync?

[Gerr]

For gaming, is there a big difference and are there any scenario’s when one would see a larger difference, like 60hz vs 144hz, 24" vs 27", 1080p vs 1440p, etc?

 

And to make sure everyone is on the same page, I am refering to Adaptive VSYNC, not adaptive-sync(freesync).  And I know G-Sync is better, but by how much?

[TheConverter]

G-SYNC is better.

Linus did a video testing latency from when a button is pressed and the flash of the gun. He ended up finding out that either one isn't better than the other. They just go back and forth trading blows.

 

The only major difference is really the price of the monitors which Adaptive sync will cost slightly less. Also Adaptive sync monitors can have other inputs like DVI and HDMI (variable refresh only works with DisplayPort for now, but is good for other devices like a console or another PC) while G-Sync monitors only have DisplayPort.

 

WHOOPS read Adaptive-Vsync as Adaptive sync the VESA standard, or did he really intend for it to be the Adaptive sync. Damn this is confusing

[werto165]

Do you mean free sync or vsync? 

[Lord_Karango17]

Wait, are you comparing g-sync vs freesync, or weather adaptive sync in general is as good as high refresh rates?

[Sakkura]

G-SYNC is better.

I don't think you need to hide, G-Sync is unquestionably better than Adaptive Vsync. Adaptive Vsync is Nvidia's old attempt at improving over classic Vsync, but it really doesn't help much. G-Sync actually addresses the core issue.

G-sync is superiour, because the 980Ti is better then the Fury X.

 

Also Acer XB270HU beats the Asus MG279Q which only has Freesync up to 90hz. No way I'm going back to TN or 90hz.

Fury X? This is a comparison of two proprietary Nvidia technologies. Unless OP meant Adaptive-Sync (and Freesync) rather than Adaptive Vsync.

Are you trying to start a flame war? lmao

No, but I think OP is.

I mean Adaptive V-Sync, not Freesync.

 

And I do presume G-Sync is better, but how much better?

He was asking which one is better. I said G-SYNC is better because on the Nvidia side you have the 980Ti and the Acer XB270HU compared to the Fury X and Asus MG279Q.

ah okay. Adaptive-Vsync is just Vsync that turns itself off and on based on the frame rate being under or over the refresh rate of the monitor. G-sync matches the refresh rate of the monitor to the frame rate if it is within the range it can handle ex. 30hz-90hz. Gync offers a better experience but Adaptive-Vsync is a good substitute for those who don't want to buy a new monitor

[Sakkura]

Almost as much better as it is against just using basic Vsync. All Adaptive Vsync does is turn Vsync on or off dynamically. You still get tearing when it's off and stuttering when it's on.

You seem to be talking about Freesync and Adaptive-Sync, but that's completely irrelevant here. Adaptive Vsync is an Nvidia technology you can use with any monitor.

Why would I want to use it when I have a G-SYNC monitor???

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the only time you would see tearing is when VSYNC is OFF and your GPU is pumping out MORE frames than the refresh rate of your monitor.  And you only experience stuttering when VSYNC is ON and your GPU is pumping out LESS frames than the refresh rate of your monitor?  Thus wouldn't Adaptive VSYNC stop both tearing and stuttering?

Well, no. The issues are just somewhat less apparent in those situations. Adaptive Vsync isn't useless, but it doesn't truly fix these issues. There's a reason Nvidia went to all the effort to develop G-Sync even though they already had Adaptive Vsync.

[Jahramika]

Yes they went all out to try and lock up looting millions of dollars from little kids that want the max everything at there parents costs. Both achieve the same goal one for less money. Cough royalty fees I mean.

*Cough* bought my Acer XB270HU for 390€ instead of 799€ *cough*

gsync/freesync only.... rest is shit

I really expect an American or a Brit to have a good chance to be very annoying and juvenile.

But i guess i owe Americans and the British an apology.

He basically said that FreeSync is better because it has no extra costs. Well guess what, there is no Freesync monitor like the Acer XB270HU, the Asus MG279Q can only do FreeSync up to 90hz, so what's the point in buying a 144hz monitor if you only gonna use it at 90hz.

 

And trust me, 90hz and 144hz is a BIG difference.

You can still go up to 144Hz in FreeSync mode depending on how you set your settings. It just will no longer be synchronized once you pass 90. But that's not the same as being capped at 90Hz.

Then there is the fact that the Fury X is 10% worse then my 980Ti. And the AMD drivers suck.

The Fury X matches the 980 Ti at 4K, just not at 1440p. And the AMD drivers are doing better than Nvidia on Windows 10.

Everyone is still on W8.1 bro atleast a few months more...

 

Also the AMD drivers suck because VSR can only do 3200x1800 where as I can do 8K with DSR.
