G-sync+V-sync on DSC enabled displays (input lag)

Post by tyrant750 » 23 Feb 2024, 00:50

I've done some personal testing on my Dell AW2723DF g-sync compatible monitor. I don't have the appropriate equipment to confirm my findings but it feels to me that when I enable G-Sync with V-sync, there is additional input lag with DSC enabled and running the display at 280hz 10bit.

Again, I cannot confirm with real data but games feel noticeably smoother and more responsive when I completely disable DSC and run the monitor at 240hz 8bit.

I would imagine with the new 360hz (through DSC) 1440p oled monitors this would be a broader issue users would be reporting but I cannot find any forum post reporting this.

Can anybody confirm or deny my claims?

Are you correctly limiting your FPS to prevent vsync? Without that, you will get vsync lag.

Yes, at 280hz, I will use an FPS cap of 250 in games that do not support Reflex. For games that support Reflex, I enable the feature which will cap the game at 260hz.
