Talk about AMD's FreeSync and VESA AdaptiveSync, which are variable refresh rate technologies. They also eliminate stutters, and eliminate tearing. List of FreeSync Monitors.

Hi, I've been using ACER KG241QS(1ms 165hz) for months, tried all the variations for a while but didn't realize which is better for fps games to get less latency VRB/OverDrive or FreeSync. Any suggestions? Thanks

Purpose of Overdrive -- see www.blurbusters.com/faq/lcd-overdrive-artifacts

Purpose of VRB -- see www.blurbusters.com/faq/motion-blur-reduction

Purpose of FreeSync -- see www.testufo.com/vrr

If you are using VSYNC OFF and don't care about quality, you can turn FreeSync & VRB OFF. However, VRB is useful for motion blur reduction & aim stabilizing, which may outweigh the approximate ~2ms average lag penalty of strobing. Also, FreeSync reduces stutter, which is quite useful if your game is very stuttery (this won't apply if your game almost always run at a frame rate above refresh rate).
