Freesync/gsync on vs off 144hz

[Jordie]

Hi guys I have a MSI mpg27cq which had been great until recently I have noticed ghosting on mount and blade 2 bannerlord. The game isn't that well optimised so my rig will sometimes struggle to keep frame rates high.

 

I notice especially on trees and grass when the frame rate dips I will see a blue trail behind the object what I think is ghosting.

 

I have a rtx 2070 super and I'm using gsync. However what I'm not sure on is do I have to keep my framerste high to reduce the ghosting? Also will turning the gsync off and having the monitor at a constant 144hz help reduce ghosting?

 

I know VA panels are prone to have some ghosting but I've only ever noticed it on mount and blade and borderlands 3, every other game is flawless.

 

Any advice would be great as I'm not sure if using gsync is a must or not and if it is, should I try keep frames as high as possible.

 

Thanks

Sounds more like motion blur or render artifacts in those games rather than ghosting.

 

Ghosting is the result of slow pixel response times preventing them from fully changing to their new color before a new frame is drawn. You would notice it in other games if it was a monitor problem and is typically more noticeable at high refresh rates since the picture on screen is changing more frequently.

 

All G-Sync does is match the monitor's refresh rate to the FPS your GPU is outputting. This is to prevent screen tearing and make game play still feel smooth even when the FPS fluctuates. It has nothing to do with ghosting.

I think your right about the motion blur. I disabled g sync and set the monitor to its fastest response time setting and enabled anti motion blur on the monitor. Locking the frame rate to 144 and doing mentioned above has reduced it to a more acceptable level.

 

For some reason turning thevfreesync option on in the monitor osd disables the anti motion blur which is a shame I'd like to have them both on but I guess that's not possible
