Does Nvidia Reflex replaces any use for vsync ?

If you can enable it, i'm pretty sure it works and that's the reason why there is no tearing without V-Sync. G-Sync only works once V-Sync is disabled.

I've started using vsync and trying to keep my games beyond my monitor hz to avoid screen tearing... Looks greats when above 100 fps.

Then i saw this new game called enlisted on a open beta. After looking at its settings i found out they do have this nvidia reflex option. If you enable it, the game automatically disables vsync. And i don't see much different if any at all.

Now, i've looked at the nvidia reflex explanation video and they still say to use their gsync stuff.

So, i still need vsync or not ? Im not sure whats going on here...

Literally all V-Sync does is to limit your fps to the max refresh rate of your monitor. If your games ran at more fps then your monitor refresh rate, then V-Sync was not enabled. Reflex will decrease your input lag, but will not work with V-Sync. However it will work when using G-Sync, which is the better option than V-Sync either way.

 

Personally i would never use V-Sync as it's known to increas your input lag a lot.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

The idea of vsync capping frames isn't totally true. On planetside 2 vsync does not limit my fps to my monitor hz. And vsync kills screen tearing if you have enough frames to keep up with.

Weird that i dont see screen tearing with reflex and vsync off in that game.

Probably because with V-Sync disabled, G-Sync is active. It's the better option to reduce or eliminate screen tearing than V-Sync.

Do you have a FreeSync monitor? Most of the time these also work with G-Sync.

Can you enable G-Sync in your driver options or not?

I also only had FreeSync monitors for the past few years, but every single one of them worked flawlessly with G-Sync.
