Sparky is saying they could theoretically enhance the experience by switching to static 144hz when fps drops below 40 (v-sync on/off fallback), but still return to operate in freesync mode when fps climbs back to 40 and above.sharknice wrote:No, with the minimum at 40hz you eliminate stuttering and tearing at frame rates from 40-144 fps. With the minimum at 144hz you don't eliminate stuttering or tearing at all because you now have a fixed refresh rate.Sparky wrote:That's better than the current freesync fallback case, which is 40hz without eliminating stuttering and tearing.sharknice wrote:That would be the same as having a fixed refresh rate. You would always be at 144hz and wouldn't eliminate any stuttering or tearing.Sparky wrote:Why not fall back to the monitor's MAX refresh rate?
and he is probably right, it should have resulted in a better 'out of range' experience. even better would be to implement a refresh rate multiplication method to preserve a wider VRR range as G-Sync seems to be doing for lower fps, according to pcper.
