Correct way of using G Sync

[Themightyred92]

Just got a new Gsync 144hz monitor and I wanna be sure I have it set right.

If i understand correctly I have to set Vsync to on in nvidia control planel global settings and then turn it off in the game options?

Also I see people saying I should cap the FPS limit at around 141-142

[_I_]

if its cpu or gpu limited thats the best way

else rtss to cap at display hz limit

You don't need vsync on. Use rtss to limit the fps to anything under 143fps. Personally I cap to 100fps just for frametime reasons.

I have a 100Hz monitor with an overclock to 120Hz.
I set it to 120Hz and limit the frames to 100 with gsync on.
Vsync is turned off of course.
At over 100Hz some games can stutter so 100Hz it is.

I use V-Sync on and G-Sync on and limit fps to 141 on my 144hz screen. I followed information from this Blurbusters article

I have a 165hz G-SYNC monitor and I think it's best just to set V-SYNC to off globally and be done with messing with anything else.

But most guides say to enable Vsync globally and then disable it in game..

G-SYNC works regardless if you have V-SYNC on or off if the monitor is a proper G-SYNC monitor and not one of those "G-SYNC ready monitors".

G-Sync works the same way for either G-sync the hardware or G-Sync on Freesync displays. Read the link I provided as it explains the advantages of having V-Sync on in Nvidia Control Panel. That goes for Compatible or Hardware based G-Sync as they do the same thing.

The problem with G-Sync is that it doesn't remove tearing, it just reduces it and moves to the bottom part of the screen. G-Sync removes stuttering with VSync and variable framerate, so VSync is the reason G-Sync exists in the first place.

is there a good reason for n-sync?

G-sync on Linux :
Enable G-sync from Nvidia settings for tearless frames inside G-sync range 30-144fps.
and
Enable ingame V-sync for tearless frames over G-sync range +144.

Gsync on, Vsync off

Fps limit via MSI Afterburner + RTSS

Remember that many games load up by default in Borderless mode. Where Vsync can't apply.

And I always use 2 or 3 Monitors, so full screen is off the table
