Overwatch + G-Sync input lag?

[microsista]

normally with g-sync you cap your framerate at 138fps on 144hz screens to reduce input lag, but in overwatch if you dont use in-game display-based (framerate+10, so 154fps) framerate cap, and exceed it, you have one-frame thread lag feature enabled which increases framerate, but adds a significant delay, what are optimal settings in this game with g-sync monitors? should i disable g-sync in this game?

Maybe try using something like Nvidia inspector too add a driver fps cap too the game.

They REALLY overlooked having a custom fps limit.

Try the RTSS frame rate limiter. (It comes with MSI Afterburner.)

When i was messing around with Fallout 4 and G-Sync i was getting screen tears with RTSS frame cap so i tried Inspector and it worked, but who knows, i might of done something wrong

You can limit FPS to whatever you want by editing the config.

They finally patched the game, so it's possible to change custom FPS cap from the video settings:
So far I'm using 135, unless someone can measure settings that provide better input lag.

I'm also using 135, it feels noticeably more responsive. I haven't run any actual measurements though.

I know it's not overwatch but when i was testing it with CS:GO 135 was low enough to not enable V-Sync but it depends game to game and how shitty their fame capping is. But remember that you can always disable V-Sync in your driver so if your frame rate ever gets high enough it will just tear instead of V-Syncing.



Start raising the cap and you will slowly start to see frame tears at the bottom of your screen.

I took these awhile ago and this is what they look like when i was no clipping sideways at 140fps in CS:GO and CS:S.

Nice! That's a good way to test the limit, because you can actually see the tears and get pictures whereas the input lag is difficult to observe and measure.
