Reduced buffering?

[Weedl]

I tried googling this but its not that conclusive.. Gears 5 recently added another graphical option called reduced buffering. It says ''Reccomended that it be turned on if your computer is able to produce a framerate that is substantially higher than your monitors refresh rate''.

Is it worth turning it on if i lock my FPS to 144? I run the game at high settings and it sticks to 144 alot of the time but it drops down to 110-120 pretty often so i dont know wheter or not i should turn it on or not. My monitors refresh rate is 144 does that mean i have to get more than 144fps for this to work? am confused

I guess it's just some fancy frame rate cap? You can turn it off to remove or minimize screen tearing, but I doubt it will affect you all that much

Kind of sounds like V-Sync

It just lowers pre-rendered frames leading to lower input lag.

Vsync without buffer frames
