That said, if you're going to be using an AMD card in FreeSync mode on the AW2721D, is there a reason you're not going with the AW2723DF instead? I.E. future-proofing in case you buy an Nvidia GPU?


I already have a 3080 and the AW2721D and am thinking about swapping the GPU for a 7900XTX so I ...

Oh, that.

I'm familiar with the first two sources.

That's typically not due to VRR operation itself, but due to differences in display processing, firmware and driver implementation between monitor models/modes.

I.E. one FreeSync monitor can have lower overall latency than a native G-SYNC ...

I have seen a couple sources that state that Freesync has ~25% more latency than G-Sync, is this true?

Not that I'm aware of. Where did you hear that?

I recently became a massive Linux nerd and on my quest to figure things out on that platform, I have found several resources that say kwin/kde plasma in general has the option now to disable and allow tearing to occur (thus no vsync) though, there is more to the story found here:

Triple buffer will still work to prevent tearing, but could potentially add extra latency/issues due to its extra buffer (G-SYNC operation is natively double buffer).


I have zero Linux experience, so can't help you there.


Thanks for the info, it's a big help!

Hopefully a Linux user might ...

Is V-Sync from the compositor equivalent to enabling V-Sync in NVCP on Windows?

G-SYNC only uses V-SYNC's VBLANK signal adherence to ensure the tearline is steered offscreen at all times when the framerate is within the refresh rate, regardless of what double buffer method you use, so if ...

The best solution I have found is https://www.osrtt.com/ but there is no Linux support.

Are there any alternatives to compare Windows and Linux latency?

Today's modern monitor refresh rates are now far beyond that, so 800dpi can sabotage your mouseturn/mouselook frame rate of your slowtracks (e.g. sniper scoping etc).


Would you say 1440p240hz with 400dpi with a relatively low in-game sensitivity (1.85 CS:GO) would be a concern. I doesn't feel ...

I use G-Sync + V-Sync + frame cap normally on Windows.

Is V-Sync being forced on Wayland really a problem then? Is V-Sync from the compositor equivalent to enabling V-Sync in NVCP on Windows?

I am trying to figure out if with the upcoming 545 Nvidia driver (when multi-monitor G-Sync will be fixed ...
