Should you use Gsync & Vsync at the same time?

Hello, wondering if I should enable Vsync while Gsync is enabled, or if I should set an FPS limit and keep vsync disabled

hi

nope its a bad idea because vsync is more like a temporarily solution for people without variable refresh rate displays

just turn G-sync on and leave v sync and all FPS limits off

the gpu and display will synchronize together automatically when G-sync is on

I won't get screen tearing with Vsync or FPS limits are off if I pass my monitors refresh rate limit? I thought I would. Monitor is 165hz and I often get over 200fps without a limit or vsync

you were right, here's a good overview https://blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync101-input-lag-tests-and-settings/14/

So it looks like I want Vsync, Gsync and an FPS limit about 3 fps below my monitors refresh rate. Will give this a try/

Yes the vsync ingame should be off and in the control panel it should be enabled because of their explanation under "Nvidia Control Panel V-SYNC vs. In-game V-SYNC"

This explains where I was getting stuttering with an 80 series build, and its gone now. lol thank you very much!

that's nice to hear =) another benefit is that if you cap your fps your GPU doesn't have to work as hard, so it's a win win if you can eliminate stutters too
