Hello everyone, I recently purchased a XL2546 and was wondering if I should still run V-Sync. Now I know it is recommend normally to cap fps a few frames lower than max Hz, and use g-sync and v-sync.
However, since my main game (Apex) seems to run poorly over 200fps I am going to keep it capped at 190. Since my fps will be so much lower than the 240 Hz my monitor will be running on, would it be beneficial just to turn V-Sync off?
V-Sync off or on with frames capped at 190.

Re: V-Sync off or on with frames capped at 190.
It depends on your goals.
If using G-SYNC Compatible on your XL2546 (There's so many variants of the XL254X series, some of them supports FreeSync/G-SYNC Compatible, while some doesn't), then in-game capping is the best way to smooth your game in a low-latency matter.
VRR makes scrolling really smooth in Apex, which is extremely useful if you like the "TestUFO smooth feel" during RTS panning motions.
Now, if you also use motion blur reduction (DyAc), you want framerate=Hz because you can't use VRR at the same time as strobing. The 182 Hz mode combined with a 182fps cap (or RTSS Scanline Sync, or Low-Lag VSYNC) is a serviceable alternative.
