So idk exactly where this thread would go so I put it here.

So we hate screen tear right? But hate input lag from vsync?

Well, for the many who don't know, there is an old trick to get both with almost no drawbacks.

Here is what you do: turn on vsync, then set an fps cap to 1 frame per second lower than your refresh rate.

Boom done. Try it. Again this is an old trick so I didn't discover this on my own, but I know many don't know about this and go about and blow money on fancy monitors when this does just as well, and it's free.....

Except G-Sync fixes more than that when your minimum FPS is much lower than the refresh rate of your monitor.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
