glad i found this video. i tried gsync On + vsync ON + low latency mode Ultra, the result in Valorant is good. Game feels smooth, no screen tearing, and the input deday is unnoticed. FPS auto caps at 225. BUT, only if my PC hardware can handle 240fps+ at alltime. My monitor is 240hz. PC specs i5 12400f, 16G RAM bus 3200, 1660 super.
If you want the lowest input lag, you go uncapped with gsync and vsync off. LLM on is fine but will be disabled with reflex on (reflex should be on). Gsync+vsync versus uncapped no sync can range from 10-20ms difference in input latency. Even if the game feels smoother, there is less accuracy to your mouse movements.

Great video, I had some questions. So I run at 180-210 frames, I have a 144 hz monitor, which of these options should I do?: 1. G sync on, Vsync on, Reflex on + boost to cap FPS 2. G sync on, v sync on, reflex boost on + boost 3. No gsync, no vsync, reflex still on+boost (since I think it reduces input lag)
If im getting around 200 fps in Valorant and I have a 144hz gsync compatible monitor, is it better to run gsync+vsync+reflex or everything off+uncapped. Is there any noticeable delay even when I use gsync+vsynnc+reflex with the frames im getting compared to when running everything off+uncapped?
With the new NVidia control panel updates, under Vsynch you get two options of "on" and "fast" would you recommend having on "on" or "fast" Thanks in advance!
Correction i tried all possible combos at 360 hz with 600fps plus. For me GSNYNC ON VSYNC OFF, is the smoothest and most responsive by far for valorant at those specs!
G-snyc with frame cap vs fixed refresh uncapped has like a night and day difference. I use this with all my games because it just feels wayy too good. Hate that people keep saying its bad when its most definitely not. Awesome video!

Question in regards to graphic settings and latency. Just followed your advice on G-sync and it's been working great. For graphics, should i be doing all low, AA off and filter to 1x or is it okay to just run all high settings? i notice a lost of 1-2ms in regards to game latency.
@@hi1234258 You can increase your graphics as high as you want. You can also put Anisotropic Filter as high as you want. That's the nice thing about GSYNC, because you're running an fps cap, you can max out your settings because the FPS hit does not matter. Sometimes though, these settings can lead to increased latency. Best thing to do is turn on your latency stats, and just increase things 1 at a time. I have a new video coming out soon, I've been collecting a ton of data so it'll cover alot of things.
It depends. Do you want the game to look smoother or be more responsive? You can't have it both ways unfortunately. Gsync on and vsync on (vsync needs to be on for gsync to work above 165fps). You can get 10-20ms less input latency if you don't use gsync+vsync. Which for me, is very noticeable. If you want the lowest possible input latency: Turn Nvidia reflex on in valorant settings. Uncap the fps. Turn off gsync and vsync. And call it a day.
These days there was this issue with Packet Data rate where you needed to cap frames to 128 to get constant 128 tick rate . Also some users me included if they don't cap the fps they get network problem indicator. Fps goes down to 100 times. So can I cap at 128 the fps even thou it goes lower sometimes and Gsync-ON + on+boost + Vsync-Off

old video but saw this question and since im in the same situation i wanted to know also so i have a 165Hz monitor, which do u think is best i use? for games like csgo/val/apex which one is best for low input delay, low frame time and basically best for competitive games? uncapped let it run abt 180-400fps (very unstable) or G sync on, v sync off, 163fps cap or gync on, vsync on, 163fps cap
Late reply but in case you haven't figured out a good solution or have other questions... It depends. Do you want the game to look smoother or be more responsive? You can't have it both ways unfortunately. Gsync on and vsync on (vsync needs to be on for gsync to work above 165fps). You can get 10-20ms less input latency if you don't use gsync+vsync. Which for me, is very noticeable. If you want the lowest possible input latency: Turn Nvidia reflex on in valorant settings. Uncap the fps. Turn off gsync and vsync. And call it a day. You mentioned frametimes but honestly, if you aren't getting stuttering, do not worry about them. The only time limiting frametimes works for latency is if you're having huge frametime spikes. And if thats the case, in NVDA control panel, limit the fps to a number that gives stable and low frametimes. That way, you get the benefit of stable latency as well as low latency (although using RTSS or NVCP to limit fps will generally raise average latency in exchange for stable frametimes) If you are letting the game run uncapped at 400fps, try limiting it to 250 or 300 and see if that makes it more stable. Valorant is a pretty good game when it comes to latency so even if you run vsync on (NVCP), you shouldn't have HUGE increases in latency like in other games. The other thing that is important if you are getting instability is using NVDA reflex. It stops the pre-rendered frame buffer queue from piling up and creating unstable input lag that spikes.
I am playing with a g sync monitor, v-sync off, uncapped fps and i have screen tearing, what should I do? I tried capping fps to 144 (my monitor's hz), to 143 and i still have screen tearing, is it normal?
Turn G-Sync ON with the fps cap and you won't get tearing. Also lower the cap a little more than 143. Need to give more room if your monitor's refresh rate is 144.

I turned Gsync and vsync on and it runs smoother but it also gives me input lag at the same time. It feels like whenever I shoot at enemies my bullet delays
What hz monitor? There will be slight input delay at lower refresh rates, but as you get into higher refresh rates the input delay is unnoticeable, unless you just have the settings configured incorrectly.
there is definitely a tiny bit of input lag, I play at 240hz uncapped fps and got so used to it, that my mouse feels sluggish when I use gsync + nvidia vsync and capped at 237 with reflex turned on for some games. I dont recommend gsync for comp, its only for single player games where you turn up the graphics and play lower fps.

Weird shit. I am getting tearing all over the place sometimes, when running G-Sync. No other game is causing that issue. Any suggestions? Edit: I turned on V-Sync in the nvidia control panel, but my fps won't get higher than 225, even though my in game fps cap is set to 235. What does that mean? Is 225 the highest fps for G-Sync to work in that game?
Vsync locks your fps to your refresh rate, I'm assuming yours is 240? If you have Low latency mode ultra OR nvidia reflex ON, then the game will automatically limit fps below your refresh rate. The only way to change the actual FPS it limits it to is to limit it lower or turn off vsync then limit the fps. The other option is turn on reflex. Limit fps to 235 IN GAME (you might wanna go lower), turn off vsync and gsync. This should provide similar latency as if you were using gsync+vsync but with a higher frame limit along with the benefits of reflex.
Hello please help, Im really confused right now. I have a 165hz monitor with free sync. Most of the time 80-85% I get higher fps than 165. Should I turn on my monitor freesync? Should I turn on my computers g sync? Please help
You should enable Gsync. It is recommended to cap your framerate to 3 frames less than the refresh rate of your monitor, which would be 162 FPS in your case. Now, in my own experience, in game framerate limiters is the way to go, as Nvidias control panel limiter and RTSS produce input delay. In that case, if the in game limiter doesnt allow you to set a fixed value, go for one that is below your monitors refresh rate. Example I have a 144hz display, and I use the 120fps limiter in most games.
Enable GSYNC + VSYNC in the nvidia control panel, and enable reflex in game for games that have it enabled. If a game doesn't have reflex, use the in game limiter, if there is no in game limiter, use RTSS
The answer is frametime variances. “Frametime” denotes how long a single frame takes to render. “Framerate” is the totaled average of each frame’s render time within a one second period. At 144Hz, a single frame takes 6.9ms to display (the number of which depends on the max refresh rate of the display, see here), so if the framerate is 144 per second, then the average frametime of 144 FPS is 6.9ms per frame. In reality, however, frametime from frame to frame varies, so just because an average framerate of 144 per second has an average frametime of 6.9ms per frame, doesn’t mean all 144 of those frames in each second amount to an exact 6.9ms per; one frame could render in 10ms, the next could render in 6ms, but at the end of each second, enough will hit the 6.9ms render target to average 144 FPS per. So what happens when just one of those 144 frames renders in, say, 6.8ms (146 FPS average) instead of 6.9ms (144 FPS average) at 144Hz? The affected frame becomes ready too early, and begins to scan itself into the current “scanout” cycle (the process that physically draws each frame, pixel by pixel, left to right, top to bottom on-screen) before the previous frame has a chance to fully display (a.k.a. tearing). G-SYNC + V-SYNC “Off” allows these instances to occur, even within the G-SYNC range, whereas G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” (what I call “frametime compensation” in this article) allows the module (with average framerates within the G-SYNC range) to time delivery of the affected frames to the start of the next scanout cycle, which lets the previous frame finish in the existing cycle, and thus prevents tearing in all instances. And since G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” only holds onto the affected frames for whatever time it takes the previous frame to complete its display, virtually no input lag is added; the only input lag advantage G-SYNC + V-SYNC “Off” has over G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” is literally the tearing seen, nothing more.

@@ShakkN As far as I know adaptive sync is supposed to eliminate the tearing seen when the refresh rate is out of sync. So what you're saying is that the tech is incomplete and still lets some frames be out of sync? I think what you're saying is that adaptive sync adjusts to the framerate to eliminate tearing, whereas vsync adjusts to framerate aswell as the frametime within that framerate so it does a better job and it's worth the trade in lag? Interestingly, when I use Freesync (which supposedly is slightly worst tech than Gsync), I don't really notice any tearing. In some games you can cap the FPS in game to whatever value you want, so I can put it at exactly 240+Freesync like I have currently. I hear some people say what you're saying, to cap it at 237 with vsync, but I don't see the point taking that extra 1-2ms of input lag when Freesync already takes care of most if not all tearing. I've also seen people say to only use adaptive sync with no vsync, but still cap at 237, which to me makes no sense since adaptive sync doesn't use a buffer.
Wait, why should I enable V-SYNC with G-SYNC again? And why am I still seeing tearing with G-SYNC enabled and V-SYNC disabled? Isn’t G-SYNC suppose to fix that?

@@Just1kOoL yeah, you won't have issues but I personally believe that it would be much better if you had invested in a less pricey option. I have the older version of the monitor you bought and it is FANTASTIC. The thing is, no matter how high the hz, the monitor can only display that amount of hz say 240 if you're getting 240 frames consistently
From what I’ve learned from a different video is you should run both but cap your FPS 5 FPS below your monitor refresh rate. So if you have a 144hz monitor you should cap your FPS at 138 so that Vsync never kicks in. And the reason you want vsync while also using gsync is because even if you cap your FPS at 138 without vsync you’ll still get screen tearing. So you get rid of screen tearing without having input delay. Hope that helps!
Also when I have no frame limit but Nvidia Reflex to ON + Boost my FPS in game displays as going higher than my refresh rate, does this mean the reflex limiter is not working or is this supposed to happen?
The reflex limiter will only work if you are running Vsync in the NVIDIA Panel. If you don't have Vsync on in the NVIDIA panel your frames will be uncapped.

If im getting around 200 fps in Valorant and I have a 144hz gsync compatible monitor, is it better to run gsync+vsync+reflex or everything off+uncapped. Is there any noticeable delay even when I use gsync+vsynnc+reflex with the frames im getting compared to when running everything off+uncapped?
he said it's better to run gsync on v sync off and fps uncapped with reflex on+boost for 144hz monitors
With the new NVidia control panel updates, under Vsynch you get two options of "on" and "fast" would you recommend having on "on" or "fast" Thanks in advance!
If you're using GSYNC you want to use ON
Correction i tried all possible combos at 360 hz with 600fps plus. For me GSNYNC ON VSYNC OFF, is the smoothest and most responsive by far for valorant at those specs!
G-snyc with frame cap vs fixed refresh uncapped has like a night and day difference. I use this with all my games because it just feels wayy too good. Hate that people keep saying its bad when its most definitely not. Awesome video!

Question in regards to graphic settings and latency. Just followed your advice on G-sync and it's been working great. For graphics, should i be doing all low, AA off and filter to 1x or is it okay to just run all high settings? i notice a lost of 1-2ms in regards to game latency.
Also, just wanted to add any issues using Nvidia Image Sharpening? Currently getting 3-5ms game latency with settings all high and sharpening on
@@hi1234258 You can increase your graphics as high as you want. You can also put Anisotropic Filter as high as you want. That's the nice thing about GSYNC, because you're running an fps cap, you can max out your settings because the FPS hit does not matter. Sometimes though, these settings can lead to increased latency. Best thing to do is turn on your latency stats, and just increase things 1 at a time. I have a new video coming out soon, I've been collecting a ton of data so it'll cover alot of things.
165hz,i got 400-500 fps in valorant should i turn on the gsync + vsync on orturn on the gsync and vsync off
It depends. Do you want the game to look smoother or be more responsive? You can't have it both ways unfortunately.
Gsync on and vsync on (vsync needs to be on for gsync to work above 165fps). You can get 10-20ms less input latency if you don't use gsync+vsync. Which for me, is very noticeable.
If you want the lowest possible input latency: Turn Nvidia reflex on in valorant settings. Uncap the fps. Turn off gsync and vsync. And call it a day.
These days there was this issue with Packet Data rate where you needed to cap frames to 128 to get constant 128 tick rate .
Also some users me included if they don't cap the fps they get network problem indicator.
Fps goes down to 100 times.
So can I cap at 128 the fps even thou it goes lower sometimes and Gsync-ON + on+boost + Vsync-Off

You mentioned frametimes but honestly, if you aren't getting stuttering, do not worry about them. The only time limiting frametimes works for latency is if you're having huge frametime spikes. And if thats the case, in NVDA control panel, limit the fps to a number that gives stable and low frametimes. That way, you get the benefit of stable latency as well as low latency (although using RTSS or NVCP to limit fps will generally raise average latency in exchange for stable frametimes)
If you are letting the game run uncapped at 400fps, try limiting it to 250 or 300 and see if that makes it more stable. Valorant is a pretty good game when it comes to latency so even if you run vsync on (NVCP), you shouldn't have HUGE increases in latency like in other games.
The other thing that is important if you are getting instability is using NVDA reflex. It stops the pre-rendered frame buffer queue from piling up and creating unstable input lag that spikes.
I am playing with a g sync monitor, v-sync off, uncapped fps and i have screen tearing, what should I do? I tried capping fps to 144 (my monitor's hz), to 143 and i still have screen tearing, is it normal?
Turn G-Sync ON with the fps cap and you won't get tearing. Also lower the cap a little more than 143. Need to give more room if your monitor's refresh rate is 144.
Should I use gsync + vsync on my 144hz monitor ? Don't people say it's not worth it if your fps are more than refresh rate ?
Got a laptop having screen tearing problem in dgpu mode (gsync on) its running good in hybrid mode(gsync on)?
I have a question. I turn on a Vsync and my fps cap in 240 for my monitor hz but my game render has increase a lot which, increase from 3.9ms to 11ms so,I confuse why your game to render still the same.
It may be because your monitor is build like that....u will have to sacrifice ms for hz.
I can run 144hz but at 5ms though it can go to 3ms but 60hz.

Vsync locks your fps to your refresh rate, I'm assuming yours is 240? If you have Low latency mode ultra OR nvidia reflex ON, then the game will automatically limit fps below your refresh rate. The only way to change the actual FPS it limits it to is to limit it lower or turn off vsync then limit the fps.
The other option is turn on reflex. Limit fps to 235 IN GAME (you might wanna go lower), turn off vsync and gsync. This should provide similar latency as if you were using gsync+vsync but with a higher frame limit along with the benefits of reflex.

You should enable Gsync. It is recommended to cap your framerate to 3 frames less than the refresh rate of your monitor, which would be 162 FPS in your case. Now, in my own experience, in game framerate limiters is the way to go, as Nvidias control panel limiter and RTSS produce input delay. In that case, if the in game limiter doesnt allow you to set a fixed value, go for one that is below your monitors refresh rate. Example I have a 144hz display, and I use the 120fps limiter in most games.
yo bro, instead of v sync on would fast sync be better?

The answer is frametime variances.
“Frametime” denotes how long a single frame takes to render. “Framerate” is the totaled average of each frame’s render time within a one second period.
At 144Hz, a single frame takes 6.9ms to display (the number of which depends on the max refresh rate of the display, see here), so if the framerate is 144 per second, then the average frametime of 144 FPS is 6.9ms per frame.
In reality, however, frametime from frame to frame varies, so just because an average framerate of 144 per second has an average frametime of 6.9ms per frame, doesn’t mean all 144 of those frames in each second amount to an exact 6.9ms per; one frame could render in 10ms, the next could render in 6ms, but at the end of each second, enough will hit the 6.9ms render target to average 144 FPS per.
So what happens when just one of those 144 frames renders in, say, 6.8ms (146 FPS average) instead of 6.9ms (144 FPS average) at 144Hz? The affected frame becomes ready too early, and begins to scan itself into the current “scanout” cycle (the process that physically draws each frame, pixel by pixel, left to right, top to bottom on-screen) before the previous frame has a chance to fully display (a.k.a. tearing).
G-SYNC + V-SYNC “Off” allows these instances to occur, even within the G-SYNC range, whereas G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” (what I call “frametime compensation” in this article) allows the module (with average framerates within the G-SYNC range) to time delivery of the affected frames to the start of the next scanout cycle, which lets the previous frame finish in the existing cycle, and thus prevents tearing in all instances.
And since G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” only holds onto the affected frames for whatever time it takes the previous frame to complete its display, virtually no input lag is added; the only input lag advantage G-SYNC + V-SYNC “Off” has over G-SYNC + V-SYNC “On” is literally the tearing seen, nothing more.

@@ShakkN As far as I know adaptive sync is supposed to eliminate the tearing seen when the refresh rate is out of sync. So what you're saying is that the tech is incomplete and still lets some frames be out of sync? I think what you're saying is that adaptive sync adjusts to the framerate to eliminate tearing, whereas vsync adjusts to framerate aswell as the frametime within that framerate so it does a better job and it's worth the trade in lag? Interestingly, when I use Freesync (which supposedly is slightly worst tech than Gsync), I don't really notice any tearing. In some games you can cap the FPS in game to whatever value you want, so I can put it at exactly 240+Freesync like I have currently. I hear some people say what you're saying, to cap it at 237 with vsync, but I don't see the point taking that extra 1-2ms of input lag when Freesync already takes care of most if not all tearing. I've also seen people say to only use adaptive sync with no vsync, but still cap at 237, which to me makes no sense since adaptive sync doesn't use a buffer.
hey bro so whats the point of enabling vsync then if your fps is always under?
Wait, why should I enable V-SYNC with G-SYNC again? And why am I still seeing tearing with G-SYNC enabled and V-SYNC disabled? Isn’t G-SYNC suppose to fix that?

What if my rig is not powerful enough and I have ~100 fps. Should I get the 240hz monitor? Will I have impossible tearing?
it won't tear. it's just a waste of money. get the 144hz one or 120hz one.
@@kulfi9705 thanks for the answer!
I got a good deal for a Alienware AW2521HFLA, 24" - 240hz with vsync and FreeSync.
I use it as the main monitor for work as well as gaming on my laptop. No issues at all :D
@@Just1kOoL yeah, you won't have issues but I personally believe that it would be much better if you had invested in a less pricey option. I have the older version of the monitor you bought and it is FANTASTIC. The thing is, no matter how high the hz, the monitor can only display that amount of hz say 240 if you're getting 240 frames consistently
Why on earth would you get a 240hz monitor if you barely get 100fps. Stick to 75 or go 144 until you can upgrade the rig.
@@trevorv3804 girlfriend is using a laptop. Pc upgrade in the future. :(
I have 144hz monitor and uncap fps is 144-200+, should i use gsync only or both gsync and vsync?
From what I’ve learned from a different video is you should run both but cap your FPS 5 FPS below your monitor refresh rate. So if you have a 144hz monitor you should cap your FPS at 138 so that Vsync never kicks in. And the reason you want vsync while also using gsync is because even if you cap your FPS at 138 without vsync you’ll still get screen tearing. So you get rid of screen tearing without having input delay. Hope that helps!
@@K_I_L_R_O_Y yes use both. Im using both with my 144hz Monitor and it caped my fps auto to 138 and i dont have screen tearing
Also when I have no frame limit but Nvidia Reflex to ON + Boost my FPS in game displays as going higher than my refresh rate, does this mean the reflex limiter is not working or is this supposed to happen?
The reflex limiter will only work if you are running Vsync in the NVIDIA Panel. If you don't have Vsync on in the NVIDIA panel your frames will be uncapped.
@@ShakkN hey, can i ask something, if i can run valorant on 200fps and i have 144hz monitor, should i use v sync and cap my fps to 142, or should i turn off v sync and uncapped my fps?, + should i use free sync? Thanks
@@kevinwijaya6626 do not use gsync or vsync. Just uncap and let your frames run feee on 144hz monitor
i think this helped (with gsync +vsync) with tearing. i also think my wifi (even tho its 5ghz and really fast) also adds to tearing idk about that tho. ill see how it plays out in games
Bruh pls go get a LAN cable man 😮💨 doesn't matter if you have the fastest Internet on earth while using WIFI 👀 always the best connection while using ethernet/lan cable
I wanna ask you which latency setting is much important to us in order to get best competitive advantage. which one is , is it game latency,render latency,or game to render latency regards
They all go hand in hand, and have correlation with each other. You are trying to reduce input and game latency. I’m going to be posting another video next week covering my recommended setup from start to finish.
@@ShakkN when you gonna upload the video bro:D
@@oguz6725 very soon, currently collecting a lot of data
@@ShakkN Bro I dont know what settings I should stick to I keep changing my settings I have asus 259qm monitor do you have any idea about overdrive should it be on 80 60 100 120 ? and I find limiting to 500 fps in game better than uncap any thought ?
@@oguz6725 Theres a website called "rtings." They review monitors, here is the link to yours: www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/asus/tuf-gaming-vg259qm
If you scroll down to motion and look on the left at max refresh rate, 60 is the best setting for your monitor.
As for the FPS CAP, it's all dependent on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a more consistent input lag and frames shown on your screen then yeah cap your fps. For a 240hz monitor id go with a 400 fps cap. These are the settings shroud uses currently, 400 fps cap fixed refresh rate. If you want the LOWEST input delay then uncap your frames, but the input delay can be very inconsistent and cause hitching.
I get about 230fps without vysinc but it drops to 130 sometimes. So with vysinc on I only loose a couple of frames and it caps at 144
