Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

It's the Framerate cap for 75hz IPS G-SYNC laptops I'm interested in. I've capped mine using RTSS at 73 FPS as recommended here in this thread. But this video suggests the game would speed up and slow down as G-SYNC was engaged/disengaged. So tomorrow I'll lower my cap to 70 FPS to see if it's there...

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

New video from Battle(non)sense about G-Sync on laptops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADYzuMe17q8 Thanks......Very good video. Pretty much the same findings as Jorimt except the frame rate cap is slight lower and he suggests turning off V-Sync. I figure there's no need as it won't kick in if the...

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

Having G-SYNC Activated + V-SYNC ON in NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL, I should turn ON or OFF V SYNC IN-GAME? In-game vsync must be OFF. It can interfere with g-sync otherwise (like the game doing triple buffering, or using timing that assumes the rendering is synced to a fixed refresh, or doing an automati...

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

Thanks...... I'd never heard of Latencymon so I'll give it a go next week when I'm home. But to be honest it was probably the realtek driver as the issue seems to have gone since updating it.
Thanks again.

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

Well I found what was causing World of Tanks to stutter (especially when V-Sync was disabled). I figured it was more to do with the laptop rather than the game after discovering the Nvidia pendulum test. The movement of the pendulum was not smooth regardless of what was set. So I did a little more r...

Re: NVIDIA may have implemented a synchronous framerate limi

I haven't studied RTSS closely, but: Does RTSS use predictive waiting before input reads? To do just-in-time rendering before VSYNC? I don't think so. It seems to use a fixed target (1000/framerate milliseconds.) It just blocks until at least that amount of time has passed since the last frame. Alt...

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

If that option isn't in the official control panel on your laptop, I assume there is good reason, and thus you're probably fine at default settings. As for "Vertical synchronization" being set to "On" at default, I agree. Nvidia did have it like that for a short period multiple driver versions ago,...

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

I'm fairly certain that no matter the (supported) GPU, at least with the desktop implementation, "Preferred refresh rate" defaults to "Highest available." As stated in my OP, it's to ensure your maximum refresh is utilized at all times, especially necessary for games that don't expose a refresh rat...

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

what is strange is that with G-Sync on and V-Sync off the FPS goes down to 50-60 FPS and the game stutters badly like it would if my GPU couldn't handle the graphics settings. It's the only game that does this. I'll just leave V-sync on and be done with it. Chalk it up to laptop specific G-Sync beh...

Re: G-Sync 101 w/Chart (WIP)

G-sync can't stop the game engine from stuttering, it can just keep the interface between the GPU and monitor from causing stuttering. Maybe you can turn down settings, maybe you can add in some buffering to get more consistent frame interval at the expense of more input lag. The thing is with G-Sy...
