First of all my display (KTC H27T22S) is gsync compatible, so no variable overdrive. I have the monitor running at 180hz, and most of my games are capped to 60fps, with LFC engaging under 72fps from what I can see. What I'm wondering is which overdrive to use, since I have 3 lines of thought in my head that would lead me to use 3 different settings.
1. Since the monitor is set to 180hz, I should use the overdrive setting (Advanced) that performs best at 180hz.
2. Because when in game at 60fps with LFC, the monitor is at ~120hz, I should use the overdrive setting (Standard) that performs best at 120hz.
3. I should use the setting that performs best at 60hz (off), since the actual game framerate is 60fps.
So which would be best? I guess I have the same question for VRR OFF as well, 180hz and 60fps, which od would be best?

With VRR OFF, you should use the settings that looks best at 180Hz, regardless of FPS. Overdrive is something that is only tied to Hz.
With VRR ON, Hz will equal FPS, so use the overdrive setting that looks best for your particular FPS cap. However, LFC will always throw a wrench in this since the driver is free to choose to LFC 60FPS to 120Hz if it thinks it's beneficial.

I will leave it on Standard the, since the driver seems to always use LFC for 60fps. Thanks!RealNC wrote: ↑27 May 2025, 08:26With VRR OFF, you should use the settings that looks best at 180Hz, regardless of FPS. Overdrive is something that is only tied to Hz.
