Doubts/questions about NVIDIA control panel settings
Posted: 04 Jan 2024, 07:28
Hello to the entire blurbusters community.
I have a 144hz compatible gsync monitor with internal adaptive sync selected to off and with internal response time selected to fast.
Windows 10 configuration:
Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling: OFF
Variable refresh rate: ON
Speaking only of Singleplayer video games I have some doubts/questions, all issues regarding underperforming hardware are excluded:
1) If I understand correctly the GSync ON + VSync ON option is the safest and can be considered global but not totally free of possible tearing effects. Also with this combination there are no fluidity problems if I can't reach 144 FPS. Right?
2) Adding a frame limit to the previous configuration that is 3 lower than the monitor's refresh rate guarantees an elimination of tearing but the limit value must also take into consideration how many fps the pc can actually generate for the video game. Right?
3) The low latency mode is interesting even if it is limited to games that do not use Vulkan and Directx 12, but since it is not guaranteed to work properly globally it is better not to activate it from the Nvidia control panel. Right?
4) We know that there are old games that due to engine or programming limitations cannot go beyond certain fps. How should I deal with the NVIDIA control panel settings? Will I use the G-SYNC ON + VSYNC ON + 30 FPS Limit option?
I apologize in advance if these questions have been asked before.
