Vsync or more fps?

[CyberCorn]

Hey guys, I was wondering if I should enable Vsync or not, because my fps will be capped at 60 if i enable Vsync.

Maybe it is because my monitor can only display 60fps.

 

PC:

i7-4790k

Asus Strix gtx 970

500G SSD

16G Fury RAM

V-Sync. Keeps the card cool and keeps screen tearing down.

I'll gladly deal with tearing than use Vsync as it causes latency.

You're always limited by your monitor. VSync just prevents your gpu from rendering excess frame before your monitor can display them. This can cause input lag (actually display lag), but prevents screen tearing. Honestly, I always turn VSync off, but then again I use a TN panel so screen tearing isn't really an issue.

depends on your monitor's hz.

Wish for a G-Sync monitor at X-mas!!! Problems gone!! You get the best from both worlds with G-Sync!!!

Download msi afterburner and lock the fps to 60. No tearing, no display lag.

Honestly if you can wait.. G-Sync monitors are RIGHT around the corner and the experience is amazing.

eh, more fps = less input lag

 

also vsync sometimes introduces input lag on it's own

 

vsync for slower games, vsync off for faster games that require precise inputs

 

when the 8gb cards drop

 

LTT should do a video of two 290x/980's in xfire/sli compared to their 8gb versions in xfire/sli

Depend, some game doesn't tear as bad so i usually limit the framerate instead of using vsync. (eg: Dota2)
