Apex legends on acer predator xb272

[not_l0v3ly]

Hey. please help me figure out the settings for apex legends. I like this game, but it behaves like shit with no fps limit of 190. without limiting frames, the picture twitches violently, with limitation a little better. and here's the question, what hz and gsync settings should i use?
1) cap 190 without gsync
2) cap 190 with gsync
3) set the monitor frequency to less than 240 hz

Or are there any other options that will provide a minimum delay with a smooth game?

So to provide a bit of context here, if your FPS exceeds 190 FPS in Apex Legends, the game becomes as you say violently twitchy. This is demonstrated here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krF79V7 ... e=youtu.be

This problem is related to the game engine itself so there is nothing you can do about it.

I bought a G-SYNC 240Hz monitor and will be using G-Sync on without V-Sync. G-Sync includes variable-overdrive which helps minimize pixel overshoot. Not sure if i will use the in-game FPS cap or RTSS to cap frames. Some pro's like Mendokusaai prefer RTSS cap because it provides better frame pacing.

You can find allot of information and benchmarks on the best settings here: https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync ... -settings/

I'm sure other, much more experienced members, can provide much more accurate information than me.

Thank you for the answer.
Now I try to play apex according to the instructions gsync ON + vsync ON and cap 235 (RTSS) . The picture is quite nice. But I still have in mind what I learned 15 years ago in cs 1.6, namely that vsync is evil for online games.
The guys here are doing cool tests and helping people figure it out, I'll trust them and I probably need to get used to playing by their instructions.

According to pros & videos, playing above 190 FPS results in stutters, as shown in the video above. I know blurbusters recommends 240-3 FPS cap but blurbusters only tested overwatch. Apex is an exception because of bugs.

I would use: GSYNC on, VSync off, Cap 189 (RTSS).

Also, enable GSync VSync in nvidia control panel , not in game.

Just to clear something up on this point...

I could test many more games, and my base recommended (minimum) -3 FPS limit with G-SYNC wouldn't change in this respect, because the sole purpose of that recommendation is to keep G-SYNC within its range and prevent V-SYNC-level input lag, not to ensure a consistent average framerate; that's up to the user to decided per game.

Some prefer to limit their FPS to a number that their system can sustain an average of 99% of the time, and thus increase input consistency.

But yes, Apex is indeed one of those games that does not react well to an uncapped FPS, and starts introducing frame pacing issue above a certain threshold, regardless of the syncing method used (or lack thereof).

and the last question then...
gsync without vsync does it add delays?

I'll be waiting for the detailed apex legends tests on 240 hz monitors)

Does G-SYNC + V-SYNC "Off" add input lag at 240Hz as opposed to what? Is that what you're asking, or something else? Please be specific, because the answers are going to vary depending on the scenario.

I don't plan on testing Apex Legends @240Hz any time soon. That, and I don't really need to; I can already tell you how G-SYNC will affect input lag in that game or in any game that allows G-SYNC.
