Need Pro advice pertaining RefreshHz/Gsync
Posted: 04 Aug 2022, 16:22
I have a few questions pertaining an ideal setup for Gsync/Refresh rate. I'm going to list my computer specs just to clear the air on those questions if the info is relevant or not.
Monitor: ViewSonic - VX2458-mhd (144hz, Freesync but works with Gsync)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (3.90GHz)
GPU: Nvidia 1660 Ti
Ram: 16gb @ 3400 MHz
Mouse: Razer Viper V2 Pro
*Question*
Alright I've scoured the internet with mixed answers on this and I play a lot of competitive FPS games and tournaments. My current setup can't really maintain 144hz/FPS so for awhile now I've ran my monitor in 120hz mode and run Gsync with in game cap at 117fps.
I guess the main question I'm curious about is would it be better for me to keep my native monitor settings @ 144hz and just cap my in game FPS to 120? I've read some people claim this is better but then I see others mention frame timing and more input latency. I want to attain the best performance I can because every frame is a game changer to an extent.
I'm also very interested in explanations not just a yes or no answer. So I can better understand and acquire some knowledge on the topic.
I use the recommended Gsync settings if that matter at all. Gsync+Vsync+Ultra Low Latency Mode
