Windows 7 Home Premium SP1

 

Last year I got a Manli GTX 1650 with 4GB (I didn't want to change the power supply and had issues with products availability/prices/etc).

 

Since then I have come across "screen tearing" for my first time, in weird places:

-watching youtube videos on chrome (i fixed this enabling hardware acceleration)

-on Among Us (weird twist: only installing it on a secondary Windows account)

 

I don't play many games and oddly enough I didn't come across any screen tearing while I was playing the most resource intensive I have, Genshin Impact.

(I remember it was pretty smooth with average settings but can't remember them all)

 

-so, should I get a 75hz or a144hz?

-also I don't quite get if FreeSync==G-Sync compatible==I have to switch to Win10 ?

(I am not really a fan of Win10 and I would have to replace it on quite a few computers because I need to have the same OS on all the computers I manage)

-would you think this a good choice https://eu.aoc.com/en/gaming/products/monitors/24g2u5-bk

 

EDIT:

I forgot, the monitor I get must be 24″ and IPS

I bought the AOC 24G2U-BK in the end

The only pain is I will have to update all my computers to Windows 10 to get that G-Sync compatible thing 

 

The plus is that I already had to anyways because on one laptop with Windows 7 the touchpad wasn't working.

They changed the technology (with what purpose I will leave the benefit of the doubt) gave no drivers for Win 7

1. Did you use the DP instead of HDMI?
2. Have you check if you enabled GSync in the Nvidia's Control Panel?

You may wanna check if it is under the support list.

 

Plus, this is why FreeSync, even FreeSync Premium, is always a lower quality version of the OG GSync (the one with the GSync module)
