G-Sync that important?

[Soulreaver]

Hey Guys,

I have a G-sync capable Monitor but for HDR sake I lately connected a HDMI cable to it as the Monitor supports deeper blacks with it.

Although HDR looks much better I found that I often find myself wondering if my fps are on par.

Right now I'm playing Valhalla and although turning V-Sync on I recognize screen tearing and sometimes it also feels "unsmooth" it's not stuttery but as if my FPS went down to 45-50ish. And I can feel it although I play with Gamepad. What in general makes me less sensitive to fps.
Then I activate the fps counter and it's around 70fps. With HDMI the Monitor only supports 75Hz.

Now I wonder if it's just due to missing G-Sync or if my brain might do some tricks on me.

Anyone got some experience with it or did some testing?

Yeah like always you have to take the good with the bad. It's definetly a keeper Monitor for sure and I somewhat feel lucky that I realy like the low black level HDR optic even if it's not the absolute HDR experience.

I never actually wanted to talk about my Monitors HDR capabilitys. But yeah could have seen that comming knowing how Steam works :D

I mean overall this is as first world problem as it gets.

Different people like different things, you spent the money enjoy your hardware they way you want to. Steam...will be Steam, as always there will be someone saying something about whatever you're doing. Don't pay them any mind, you just do you man.

No no no you've got it all mixed up : /

HDMI 2.0 is based on the Hitachi SH-4 32-bit RISC CPU clocked at 200 MHz, making every HDMI 2.0 cable capable of Sega Dreamcast Backwards Compatibility. Man I can't believe you got this THIS wrong tisktisk.

I find this hilarious honestly.

Especially important with HDTVs as sometimes only 1 of 3-4 are HDMI 2.1, the rest could be 2.0.
