Is G-Sync/FreeSync as laggy as V-Sync?

Let's cool the insults, and anything similar, and stick to the topic at hand.

Gsync and Freesync basically have zero lag as long as you stay bellow the refresh rate (so employ an fps capper etc).

 

It's also worth noting, just going to 144hz alone makes tearing and frame judder ALOT less noticeable.

latency-wise the *syncs cant do much good, but i can defenately agree on the judder thing, i've been considering gettign a *sync monitor for that if they werent so hilareously expensive. i'd gladly toss out my buisiness monitor for something with a dreadful stand if it meant minecraft's jumps between 70 and 200 FPS werent as noticeable

It says "G-Sync vs. FreeSync input lag"... on two  different monitors.

so? in the video he shows gsync with vsync on vs off

isnt that what the entire point of your topic is??

...it shows FreeSync and G-Sync, not V-Sync and G-Sync... c'mon man!

hoooooly crap is it really so hard for you to watch a video??????????

its not hard to actually WATCH and INFORM yourself

Oh my goodness, I give up.

 

Go buy a gsync monitor and do the testing yourself if you cant watch 15 minutes of video...

Because it is. He uses two different monitors, you cannot compare different technologies with different monitors.

but it's not possible to have 2 same monitors with different tech...I see nothing wrong with it. As long as the two panels are both rated equally (refresh rate, response time, input lag and whatever) then it is a fair enough test. He's just showing whether G-sync or Freesync is better in general.

could add to that that beyond the branding both technologies (and probably both specific panels) are doing pretty much the exact same thing hardware-wise, making the freesync/gsync comparison mostly a matter of driver optimization, and buying a decent monitor on either side of the boat. (although nvidia's more closed off ecosystem generally makes them only allow the very best of the best, hence why shit's expensive )

Keep the thread on topic and quit the insulting.
