Why is is that high refresh rate monitors have more input lag at 60hz?
I understand that 60fps causes more input lag, but online reviews always note that most high refresh rate monitors have additional input lag at 60hz, why is that?
To add VRR into the mix - if the FPS falls to 60fps, causing the panel to drop via VRR to 60hz (with some frame doubling), does that means that effectively the monitor is in 60hz and also has that additional lag?
High refresh rate monitors at 60hz?
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.
