Posted September 29, 2015 Is it just me, or the placebo affect of seeing more fps? I apply v-sync to a game and it seems like said game becomes somewhat laggy, but when I turn v-sync off it'll become smooth.

Posted September 29, 2015 It's due to input lag. "It pays to keep an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out." - Carl Sagan.

Posted September 29, 2015 Same. When I turn V-Sync on the game feels choppy. And I have to keep it on because I get screen tearing otherwise. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 29, 2015 It's due to input lag. Could you please shortly explain what that is exactly? I'm not sure I understand that term correctly. Appreciate it.

Posted September 29, 2015 Author Same. When I turn V-Sync on the game feels choppy. And I have to keep it on because I get screen tearing otherwise. Sucks. I don't really have screen tearing issues... Well, maybe... Damn 60hz.

Posted September 29, 2015 yeah vsync IMO is worse than the frame tearing the input lag increases and if fps drops below 60 just for half a second it causes a noticeable stutter NEW PC build: Blank Heaven minimalist white and black PC Old S340 build log "White Heaven" The "LIGHTCANON" flashlight build log Project AntiRoll (prototype) Custom speaker project Spoiler Ryzen 3950X | AMD Vega Frontier Edition | ASUS X570 Pro WS | Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB | NZXT H500 | Seasonic Prime Fanless TX-700 | Custom loop | Coolermaster SK630 White | Logitech MX Master 2S | Samsung 980 Pro 1TB + 970 Pro 512GB | Samsung 58" 4k TV | Scarlett 2i4 | 2x AT2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 29, 2015 The lag is due to the graphics card having to wait.

Posted September 29, 2015 Input lag that is NOT caused externally by things like too high anti aliasing settings (In the old days and even now, this can cause artificial input lag to be FAR Beyond what the input lag should be....like 200ms input lag at 40 FPS and I still don't know WHY that happens). but for vsync, the input lag is exactly 1 frame. 1000 divided by refresh rate in milliseconds=1 frame of input lag for vsync. e.g. 60hz=16.7ms (1000 / 60).
