Talk about NVIDIA G-SYNC, a variable refresh rate (VRR) technology. G-SYNC eliminates stutters, tearing, and reduces input lag. List of G-SYNC Monitors.

I played tomb raider from start to finish with g-sync having not played it before. It wasn't completely perfect, it did get a little hitchy around certain parts of the game, no idea why. This was with a pad.

Max Payne 3 ran perfectly with g-sync on my system under dx 11 but that's with a pad, I've not tested it much with the mouse.

It's definitely not a mouse issue for me. It's a game engine stutter, not an input stutter.

With a xbox controller i have no engine stutters in MP3 atall, so i guess results vary, however i had consistent mouse pacing issues, like --\---\---\---\--\----\--\\-----\- if that makes any sense.

With GTA V out in a couple of days it'll be interesting to see how it it runs under G-Sync, fingers crossed it works well.

Let's hope so. I'm a bit worried after the trouble I had with Max Payne 3 since it's on the same engine, but they've had a few years to improve it.

Gmod gsync micro stutters on any setting besides fps_max 100. Tried forcing different dx levels with -dxlevel 80 and setting different prerenderd frames with no avail. Tried to cap with RivaTuner and still doesn't work. Even with vsync enabled.

I got a feeling that Gmod can only display 100 frames a second and anything more than that will just cause the game to repeat frames it has already displayed. I wish I could get more, as fast bhopping with a extra 40~ frames would be wonderful.

I've had similar problems with Source engine games in the past. I'd always have to set the fps_max equal to my refresh rate when vsync was on to stop it from intermittently stuttering. It's been fixed for newer versions of the engine but probably not for that specific game.

Anyone tried GTA V yet? I can't get it running well with G-Sync on my set up.

How so? Working well enough for me with GTX 970's and a Swift.

Getting quite a lot of micro stutter with G-Sync on, regular v sync smooth, I'm on a 780Ti.
