G-Sync Free-Sync compatible monitors

From what I recall when Battlenonsense did a complete button to pixel test under best case scenario G-Sync best case was 9ms and FreeSync 11ms so it is strictly true but in reality the average is so close no one would notice the difference. FreeSync does take a slight latency penalty around the LFC window due to how it uses PSR in a way not originally intended which sometimes mean you get 1 additional frame of latency in a transition from a framerate drop to high framerates again - but again that generally isn't a factor if you are maintaining reasonably good framerates in the first place.

His statement isn’t true though, as he is saying Freesync has lag and G-Sync does not. Pretty sure that is inaccurate.

Besides, 2ms is so little that I doubt hardly anyone one can tell the difference.

But reading some people’s post you would think there is a huge difference between freesync and g-sync. Lol.

The main reason I have G-Sync is because at the time of purchase it was the only way of getting 4K with a bigger range than 40-60. Also I could see how far AMD had fallen behind and for 4K I would be needing nvidia gpu’s to drive it for quite a few years. Looking forward to the 3000 series at the moment :D
 
All LCD's have lag over CRT's some keep saying the G-Sync Module adds lag which it does not as the reviews at launch and since show, now FreeSync is "laggier" (for want of a better word).

IMO and many reviews the hardware method is better but yes its cost a lot more but at the time it launched there was not other way to get this feature on a Desktop PC monitor (Laptops have a form of it) so...

2ms is still 2ms add that to other lag in system like input lag etc and it all adds up.

If 2ms did not mater why do people cry out if a new monitor is lower than 1ms like VA panels before overdrive are about 4ms but possibly 2ms after it?

Would not matter if it was 0.01ms the way they market it as its still slower than old CRT/Plasma tech.

Go watch the video bellow (not the best representation) and see this marketing gimmicks was not needed years ago as games were smooth and fast.

Don't have the time to look into the article or video you are quoting but everywhere I have seen it shows there is a penalty for using G-Sync over v-sync off. Blurbusters showed this and even someone like linus did a proper test from what I recall.

If you are a competitive gamer you will be using a 240hz display with graphics turned down. For the rest of us 2ms won't be a bug deal. It ain't for me, I don't even play online. Each to their own though.

Linus's test was flawed as they misunderstood some settings (also G-Sync has been updated since changing some behaviour so their tests don't reflect current implementation anyhow).

And blurbusters? They have not updated their article from what I saw last.

You are right though, G-Sync has been updated since, G-Sync = Freesync now :p:D
