Does radeon anti-lag work along with vsync?

[Hoppled]

I cannot find an answer on the internet for this.

I use a 60 hz monitor and I have been experiencing bad screen tearing in Hunt: Showdown, so I enabled vsync.

Vsync as you know causes input delay. I really just thought anti-lag was a meme setting, similar to "gamer modes" in other software. I randomly enabled it (with in-game vsync) and immediately noticed better response time.

Is this just placebo? I tested it again several times and it honestly feels better with anti-lag. I thought this wouldn't work or be compatible with vsync.

Thoughts?

How is it a "placebo" if you,

You answered your own question.
Anti lag helps with input delay if your GPU runs at its limit, irrespective of any sync method.(95-99%)

Not sure what to gather from this when you say GPU at its limit. I would normally go above 60 FPS in that game, but vsync obviously caps at 60 for my monitor. So, I assume my GPU usage isn't that much.

Well, assuming somethings stands on on one side, and knowing something on the other side. :)
Ill try to go a bit more into detail, although AMD stills keeps silence about the exact approach.

First of all, it is important to understand that the input delay or input lag originates from a whole chain of latency sources.
In many games, one or more frames are precalculated and held back by the CPU in such a graphics-limited scenario in order to ensure that the graphics card always receives new rendering instructions and can be used efficiently. But this leads to a latency of at least two frames.

At 60 fps, for example, this corresponds to an input latency of 33.3 milliseconds caused by the CPU and GPU INDEPENDENT from FreeSync/Vsync.
Normally Vsync would increase input lag, which you might be well aware of, but since AMD's Anti-Lag kicks in right at the beginning of the frame output, you wont notice that much of a input lag like you would notice without Anti-Lag.

According to AMD, the more your game is GPU limited, the more you benefit from Anti-Lag. That being said, youll have much more input lag @60hz than lets say at @144hz.
Thats why Ani-Lag works perfectly fine in your case.
