Understanding VSYNC and FreeSync

[venomx]

Got a 144hz samsung monitor. Is it best to have freesync " Off " " Standard " or " ultimate "

It seems turning it on slows down the response time

Also. In the Nvidia control panel you can have VSYNC on/off/fast/adaptive etc ??

No GSYNC, just freesync according to the spec.

In the monitors OSD menu it gives the option of Freesync OFF/Standard/Ultimate

GPU is a 3060ti fe

Freesync is for AMD gpu,s and Gsync is Nvidia, this syncs framerates to the monitor

Basically Vsync and Freesync etc basically reduce screen tearing right ?

I'll leave it on ultimate ( in the monitor OSD ) and "ON" in the nvidia control panel

In the nvidia control panel it says " G Sync compatible " or you can turn it to " Fixed refresh "

I'm happy with how it's set-up now so that's good.

When I played CSGO on my old monitor/tv the FPS would be over 300 at all times.
On my new 144hz monitor it stays static at 144fps but is incredibly smooth and responsive.

Why does the FPS get capped ? It's not a problem whatsoever as it's loads better now but just wondering

You will be capped to 144 frames as that is the maximum your monitor can display when vsync is on.
Ultimate option can cause flickering, so try standard in games if you happen to get flickering with ultimate on

Seems bang on with CSGO and Rocket League. No probs at all with ultimate so far.
