Zotac GeForce RTX 4090 Amp Extreme Airo Review

Zotac's GeForce RTX 4080 AMP Extreme Airo comes with a mesmerizing RGB implementation that simply looks stunning. As expected, a factory overclock is included on Zotac's new flagship, and the cooler runs very quietly once the dual BIOS is switched to "quiet mode".

I found his take on vsync really interesting that I figured would be worth mentioning here.

1:
No matter what, I have always found that enabling vsync in pretty much any game introduces mouse movement latency, that elasticy effect you see when moving the mouse around quickly. Some people get used to this, and I did too for a stretch when I was on a 60Hz monitor with no VRR, but now that I have a VRR monitor up to 175Hz and with Gsync Ultimate, I only have Gsync enabled in NVCP, and have not forced vsync on in the global setting there. I also leave Vsync off in all games, I have yet to see any tearing whatsoever whether the game is running under or over my framerate target, which is either 120fps or 144fps since my monitor is in 144Hz mode (10-bit colour vs the 175Hz in 8-bit).

Games like FDays Gone I have to choose 120fps target because the preset slider is not granular, it goes from 120 fps to 150 for example, so I settled on 120. If I set it to unlimited and let it run at any fps it wants, then it could be 150, 170, 165 fps etc - In these situations I still see no tearing, just a nice and smooth motion. I lock it to a comfortable 120fps because the GPU caps don't whine as much then and the GPU fan doesn't run as loud.

2:
So what's going on here, why am I not seeing any tearing? is it because my monitor is an OLED and the nature of OLED motion means any tearing you would normally see on an IPS-LCD is removed?

3:
Is it because it is Gsync Ultimate?

4:
Is it a combo of both 2 and 3?

It's an intriguing one, I have tested with a bunch of setting configurations in a whole host of games since getting this monitor and no tearing is observed in anything whilst leaving Vsync off, but leaving Gsync enabled and letting the Gsync Ultimate module do what it needs to do.

This sort of thing doesn't really get clarified much on technically geared videos or reviews so I've observed this thing and am asking myself what's going on, even though I see no problem (tearing), so am not too fussed either way lol.

I have OLED 175Hz (Alienware) and I can definitely see tearing if I run out of refresh rate. I have always used vsync with Freesync and G-Sync, because it does nothing in the range of adaptive sync (which both AMD and NVIDIA confirmed many times) and it only kicks in when you go outside range (working as frame limiter). Though if you enable low latency in NVIDIA drivers or Reflex in game, it will cap your FPS even below that (167FPS in my case max instead of 175Hz), just to be sure you never spike outside refresh rate and vsync never kicks in.
 
well that me out for this gen cuz no chance am i buying the a gimped card like the 4080 and the scalpers are out in full force on ebay and facebook and i dont have time to compete with bots or pay obscene amounts over msrp so ill be skipping this gen because its gonna be a **** show like last gen

catch you all next year/year after!

all those who beat the odds enjoy guys
