Freesync Question

[Howitz]

So, i have freesync enabled both on amd software and on my monitor, which support it from 40 to 75hz. When i play warthunder, i get around 200 fps and no way of limiting it other than activating another kind of sync, which is v-sync... so what do i do? do i let my graphics card unleash itself 100% in warthunder or use v-sync, is there really no way of limiting it to around 70? so i can avoid broken frames and use freesync without activating v-sync?

In Crimson you can set a frame limiter for specific games or across all games, just set it to 75 for war thunder.

okay thanks i haven't noticed there was this options. so will it include 75 and use freesync or should i put it to 74 just to make sure freesync is always on?

There is a way. If you have MSI Afterburner, it includes another program called RivaTuner statistics server. You can use it to crate a global framerate cap and also a framerate cap for each specific application.

Or this.

easy.

Activate VSync. That way, you will get perfectly even 75 fps, with exactly 13,333333 ms Frametimes per frame.

Usually you should not experience stutter or lag at all. Just perfectly smooth Gameplay.

 

Take Care: Some Games will still give you a bit of Lag, like Doom and CS:GO should.

In those cases you turn VSync off, and play with uncapped fps (just try it yourself, if it feels better in terms of response).

Or try a Frame limiter

I think EVGA precision has FPS target.

i can set a framecap in crimson as stated by RKRiley, but my other question is, if i set the framecap to 75hz, will freesync be always activated? like mathematically is the interval (40,75) or )40,75( ? should i put the framecap at 75 or 74 or even 73? does it jump around by some decimals, disabling freesync?

That i don't know (i never used a software framecap. At least, when i still had my HD 7870, that just did not work at all.).

 

However, if you cap it to 75, and you NEVER drop below 75 fps, there is no point in having Freesync at all. Since it wouldn't give you ANY Benefit.

Freesync is only usefull, if you can NOT hold 75 fps or more. Like, when your fps are droping between 50 and 75, then Freesync works like a charm.

But when your GPU can hold 75 fps perfectly, there is no reason for the Monitor, to reduce it's "Hz".

Okay thanks, i think my questions has been answered now. thanks guys.
