Optimal Settings for Fighting Games
Posted: 19 Nov 2018, 12:06
Between 120 Hz: G-sync OFF & V-sync OFF -VS- 144 Hz: G-sync ON & V-sync ON -VS- 144 Hz: G-sync ON & V-sync OFF which setting delivers optimal performance?
I was told by a user on a discord channel that fighting games capped at 60 fps can benefit with 120 Hz refresh rate w/o g-sync enabled since 120 is a double of 60 and produces double frames. But I've also read Blur Buster's G-sync 101 articles especially on Hidden Benefits of High Refresh Rate G-sync that at 144 Hz with g-sync and v-sync enabled you get the shortest amount of input lag achieved. However, what confuses me is that on the G-sync vs V-sync OFF article, with G-sync enabled and V-sync disabled the input lag is lower than with V-sync enabled.
So is there a better optimal setting than the 3 I've specified?
