Help me configure G-Sync

[VagabondWraith]

I got my new monitor but have some questions: I was playing Ethan Carter Redux and was getting 160+ FPS. My understanding is G-Sync's range is 30-144Hz. Once you go above that, G-Sync is disabled and you're at the risk of screen tearing. I was reading online that some people enable both V-Sync & G-Sync in NVidia CP, and leave V-Sync disabled in-game. That way the refresh rate will never go above my monitor's which results in disabling of G-Sync. I read other people use a frame limiter to cap their FPS. I also read that if using a framerate limiter, you should cap your FPS at 140 to ensure input lag remains low.

 

What is the best way to ensure that my Hz range is always within G-Sync range? I'm just a little confused because I've seen conflicting answers across the net.

 

Thank you.

Use Nvida Inspector, works really well. http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-inspector-download.html

You don't risk getting tearing, you ARE getting tearing. Though on frequencies so high, you will not notice it, so don't worry. But if you do, congrats, you are inhuman

DONT use NVIDIA Inspector.

It introduces the same input lag as V-Sync for some weird reason.

 

Yes, you want to cap your FPS slightly below your maximum refresh rate so 140FPS cap is about right.

Use RivaTuner for that but you are always best of using in game limiter if available.

 

Yea, avoid V-Sync to avoid increased input lag.

Was unaware that it caused input lag, I have been using for certain games and haven't noticed it

A nice informative video, thanks for sharing. So from what I gathered, there is a slight input lag with Nvidia Inspector but nothing too bad.

Thank you very much!! I'll just cap the FPS using RivaTuner or in-game. Appreciate it! ?
