V-Sync Lag

Hey Guys,

My friend told me that v-sync creates additional lag between you clicking and the gun shooting, if I limit the refresh rate to 60Hz does this still increase lag?

Also is it even noticable, gonna get CS:GO soon! :)

For CSGO you shouldn't touch V sync it makes the experience bad but for most otherwise V sync can help with screen tearing or coil whine

I would disable v sync and if you have amd limit your fps that way since that will prevent any tearing (FTRC)

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

Why? I have a 60Hz panel...

Normally you wouldn't be able to tell the difference when getting fps above your monitor's refresh rate, but CS:GO is an exception. For some reason 300 fps is very noticeable from even 100-150 fps for many people.

CS GO is no exception! You won`t notice the higher refresh rate on your display, but you will feel the game more responsive, because of the lower input lag. With v-sync off you are trading artifact free experience, for a more responsive gameplay. A few ms won`t mater in a SP game, but you need them in MP.
