Hello. There are a few things I didn’t understand from the article and I would like to ask about them. I have a PG32UQX monitor with Gsync ultimate. I didn’t understand how it is with the Vsync setting. Should I rather use it on this monitor in game or in nvidia panel settings. So which is better for Gsync. And if I set vsync in the nvidia panel (which means I have my own 3d settings) will it change the look of the game ? Like texture quality and stuff. And the second thing. How about the windows power plan. Is it ok to use balance or is high/ultimate perfromance better ? Thanks..

I play valorant and want to know the best possible way to optimize my game for input lag. Please answer by letting me know what to do with the following settings: G sync on vs off, V sync on vs off, Nvidia Reflex on vs off, and fps cap. Thank you 🙂 I have 3080 and 5600x

Hello, I have an ASUS PG279QM monitor. This monitor has an FPS Counter feature with a graph displaying current frame rate. While testing with a Nvidia CP VSYNC ON + NVIDIA CP FPS LIMITER set to 237 FPS in a CS:GO game I’ve noticed that most of the time it is at 237-238 but sometimes it spikes to 240 on that “FPS Counter” graph, so does it mean that GSync is disabled and VSYNC and its latency is enabled in that case? I tried to cap it to 235 fps and still sometimes it shows me 240, I tried to lower it to 230 fps and then I didn’t noticed these spikes to 240 on that graph on my monitor. Right now I’m not sure whether I should stick to 237 FPS or to 230 because I mainly concerned whether Gsync may be disabled in that “spike case”, but I’m not sure maybe it is just a graph that is not very precise? What is your opinion on this? Also, I’ve tried to use an “In game” limiter in CS:GO but it is far less consistent compared to NVidia’s one. I’ve read articles and it is said that the recommendation is to set it to “-3 FPS” but in my case I’m not sure. What’s your thought on this? Thanks. 🙂

Hello i have a question. I have an Samsung QLED TV with a 4k 120Hz panel and it is G-Sync compatible. I will play with fixed 60fps on 4k because my RTX 3080. What settings should i use?
120Hz on 4K, G-Sync and V-Sync i think both should be enabled.
What Framelimit should i set? 117FPS or 57 or can it still be on 60? Im am not sure about that.
Thank you for this great article.

sorry i still don’t understand

why recommends Nvidea
V sync let the 3D setting decide, and not on?

first I use Gsync+Vsync + framelimiter

If Reflex is available in the game, should I turn off LLM in the Control Panel?

For example if I play a game that is very GPU bound and there is no reflex should I set LLM to ultra or on when using gsync + vsync + frame limiter .

Thank you so much.
