60fps 60hz screen tearing issue?

[TheRedWarrior]

Ive been looking between a g-sync display and a non g-sync display, with the former being a 1080p 180Hz TN panel, and the latter being a 1440p 60Hz IPS panel. I was wondering if a GPU delivering a constant 60 FPS or more on a 60 Hz display would experience screen tearing.

You would not see tearing with V-Sync enabled.

You would not because you would be able to turn on V-Sync.

But doesn't V-Sync cause stutter also? How would it perform without V-Sync?

yeah, that's a common side effect. I personally would take the reduced screen tearing over it.

 

without v-sync, you'll get screen tearing in games. i would recommend you play a couple games with and without to see what you emd up liking. But i assume that youll end up keeping vsync on

You can get tearing if the screen and GPU are not synchronized, either by V-Sync or G-Sync. If they are not synchronized then you can still get tearing even if you have 60 fps on a 60 Hz screen.
