I feel dumb asking this, but what do I set V-sync to when using G-sync?

Chen G

Should it be on or off? Or does it not make any difference?

BTW I don't know how they do it but the Nvidia control panel is by far the most demanding application I have, every drop down menu takes an eternity to open, more demanding than any AAA game.

I don't remember if it actually matters or not, but for me with my G-sync monitor I have vsync turned on.

The control panel went to shit in my opinion, saving changes on mine causes it to stutter for a few seconds. Just make sure you enable g-sync in the control panel.

Definitely turn it off. V-Sync causes latency, and screen tearing is already fixed by G-Sync.

Wouldnt V-sync lock it to 15, 30 or 60 fps?
Instead of the continues variable that G-sync offers?
I've no idea which supersedes the other.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

V-sync locks it to whatever your monitors refresh rate is

If you're using G-Sync, turn VSync off.

If I turn it off I still get tearing.

If having both on keeps the tearing down then by all means keep both on. Usually, though, you would use only G-Sync

Either turn it on to match your monitor refresh rate or globally limit your FPS to -4fps under Gsync upper limit.
