VRR or V-sync?

[HippeusOmega]

I have a G-sync monitor but I'm not sure which setting i'm suppose to use in the graphics option.

turn Gsync on and if your monitor support VRR then use VRR or if you get max fps of your monitor then get VRR if not use Vsync but even then you will be fine with Gsync and VRR.

Okay my G-sync is auto enabled for Full and windowed mode in Nvidia app. Looking up the specs for my MSI monitor doesn't look like it supports VRR. I did enable the display indicator to make sure G-sync was fully working in the game though.

Don't use v-sync unless you have a muggle monitor, which you don't.

So I'd use VRR option with my gsync monitor?

you use VRR in game, and like usual you should have Vsync forced on in nvidia control panel

g sync IS vrr. make sure gsrync is enabled for your monitor and select vrr. gsync is a nvidias Variable Refresh RAte technology, - vrr. Don't turn on v sync anywhere. they are two contradictory options.

Okay thanks. Not used to seeing VRR as an option. Normally I just see v-sync in the options and click it off.

np. It works like this: a monitor can display a new image at a certain rate, like 60 times a second. But graphics cards might draw new frames at different rates, like a simple scene it might be able to draw 100 times a second, but lots of explosions and shadows etc, maybe it can only draw at 50 frames per second. So this becomes a mismatch. Sometimes, with each new image the monitor displats, it might have to pass a frame that is drawn by the graphics card, if the card drew 2 frames in that time period. Or if the card drew 0 frames in the time period, the monitor has to display the same frame twice until it has a new frame to display. What v sync does is locks the max frames your graphics card can draw, to the refresh rate of the monitor. So if your graphics card could draw 90 frames a second, but the monitor can only display 60 frames per second, it now becomes 60/60. this eliminates screen tearing and unevenness, but also bottlenecks your graphics card and it can feel laggy and unresponsive. Likewise, if your graphics card can only produce 45 frames a second while your monitor is displaying a new image 60 times a second,then there remains a mismatch. Then VRR was created. With VRR, the monitor will only refresh (display a new frame) when the graphics card has produced a new frame. This results in a much smoother experience as there is never a mismatch. This is why you should always use VRR instead of vsync, if your monitor supports it. If you have a g-sync or free-sync monitor, then it supports VRR.
