    40FPS on a 60Hz monitor does not mean the last frame is repeated 20 times. Unless your GPU is somehow putting out super inconsistent framerate where you get 40 frames at 60Hz and then nothing for one third of a second, what you said is absolutely incorrect

    Screen stuttering is the directly related to fps being skipped and/or repeated in place in a single cycle or hz. Granted there are more technicalities around the way the monitor handles such frames but the principle explanation is correct.

    @@SoulOfTech No it isn't lol. If you have a consistent 40 fps on a 60hz monitor, then 20 of the frames will be repeated once each in the span of a second, it wont repeat one frame 20 times. You could have a situation where one frame repeats 20 times in a row, but you wouldn't describe that as having 40 fps, you would just describe that as a lag spike. Also, in an ideal world, your fps would far exceed your monitor's refresh rate, not simply match it. Exceeding the refresh rate of your monitor minimizes the delay between rendered frames and displayed frames, which is good. If you have 60fps and 60hz, your frames may be as old as a1/60th of a second by the time they are displayed by the monitor. If you have 120fps and 60hz, your frames can only be as old as 1/120th of a second by the time they are displayed. Higher fps essentially lowers input lag regardless of refresh rate.

    @@SoulOfTech no it's not at all. In your imaginary scenario, your frame timings would look as follows: 40 times 16.6ms per frame then a sudden inexplicable spike to 334ms and then back to 16.6ms per frame and repeat At that point something is seriously wrong as you're getting huge lag spikes periodically every second Out of curiosity, how long ago did you join our ranks?

    @@ScrewTSW @ja735. Again I think you are misunderstanding the point I am trying to make. Ill respond one more time to clarify my explanation also I am leaving both your explanations as I genuinely believe the viewers should have all the information available and the points you both made are totally valid. 1. My example of 40fps from the GPU to a 60hz monitor is an isolated extreme example, in the real world rarely would the frame rate stay sustained on a single number, it would constantly fluctuate to your point. 2. My example was within the instance of a single second (hz) it does not represent the on-going refresh before or after. It's far more complex to explain a varying refresh rate for an audience who has no idea what FPS or refresh rate even is. 3. You nailed it when you said in my imaginary scenario, that's exactly what it is, an extreme example to show the implications of what can happen. Rarely is screen tearing as dramatic in real life. 4. You are also correct in the instance that every frame would most likely be repeated more than once as opposed to the last frame being repeated multiple times, however that is provided the number is equally divisible (ie 30 fps over a 60hz monitor would yield each frame twice like you said) however if the frame rate is not divisible certain frames would be repeated more than others (ie: the 59 fps example). My references were no more hypothetical then your example of each frame repeating exactly twice an an imaginary world. Also I have no idea what your last question about joining ranks is lol, made me chuckle a little....

  • @dillonmann6409
    @dillonmann64092 ай бұрын

    Pretty bummed because I'm still getting tearing when using Free sync. Should I have gone with a G-sync computer monitor because I use Nvidia GPU? The whole reason I got a new monitor was to enjoy Frame Generation (which turns v-sync off) and hopefully have the benefits of the FG without having the screen tearing. It seems I'm in the exact same boat as I was before. I am glad I now have a 4k monitor so that's really nice. Any advice would be nice. PS. I watched a bunch of YT videos and have messed with all the right settings which hasn't fixed anything. In the Nvidia control panel, I have forced V sync on, switched it to off to see if that was interfering with Free Sync, switched it

    I built a PC 9 months ago, went with an AMD GPU and Freesync Premium Pro 175hz 1440p monitor, (ASUS ROG XG32AQ), now I just bought a 4070 ti Super OC without even checking if my monitor supports gsync. It says it’s gsync compatible and does 48-144hz, does that mean I can never play 30fps games again? I might have to send it back.

    You can play at 30 fps, but the freesync won't work. The minimum fps for freesync is 48. This is the lowest frequency this monitor can produce. Below it the freesync will turn off and it will work like a regular monitor.

    This video doesn't address anything besides basics. It also doesn't tell you the truth about freesync or gsync or the marketing fud. The tier list did not exist for freesync originally, you could buy a monitor branded premium pro today that was plain freesync in the past. Even now, it's not a legitimate point, you should buy based on features not branding. Freesync is also a standard outside of AMD. Cheap monitors would àdvertise it, and the Nvidia marketing dept would spread FUD on AMD for something outside their control. Nvidia also spread FUD on LFC. The monitor doesn't do LFC, the video card does LFC, you merely need a refresh window. Gsync started as a FPGA module for $200 added to the base monitor price. It became unfeasible for 4k needing active cooling fans. Nvidia rebranded freesync as gsync because their marketing was so toxic they literally couldn't sell their base on switching to the industry standard. It's basically the same thing now, and you buy solely on the monitors capability, not what it's branded. Asus seems to make better monitors in general, so that's usually the safe option. You can buy other monitors, but be careful, and there are major differences in panel types. IPS, VA, TN, OLED.
