Freesync

Can someone please explain how freesync has any benefit on a 60hz screen? Doesn't it just match your refresh rate to the graphics cards framerate?

I'm so baffled by the difference it seems to have made.

G/Freesync is most useful at lower refresh rates because it prevents tearing, which is a lot more noticeable at

not op, but will I get the same experience of 120hz with a 60hz freesync monitor? or is 120hz still mandatory?

heck no
g/freesync prevent screen tearing, nothing else. 120hz shows you twice as many images per second, making the motion much smoother.

i use 120hz with ulmb, 60fps looks like it's stuttering to me and has a shitton of motion blur, with or without g/freesync.

No wonder nothing feels as smooth as my CRT did...

At least new screens are brighter though if you can live with the backlight.

No, 120hz is still faster/more responsive, as long as your video card can keep up.

G/freesync makes things feel smoother at lower frame rates.

thanks. shame, that means I need a >120hz 4k screen in the future, shit's expensive

Do you know why though?
Wouldn't capping the framerate to 60fps have the same effect in theory, provided that it doesn't go below that?
Because that's what I was doing up till tonight when I found the freesync option.

If the frame rate ever drops below 60fps you'll get tearing. Freesync prevents that.

hz 4k
you'll have to wait a bit, maybe a year or two. and be prepared to spend 1500+€ on the screen and gpu alone. i think no gpu currently on the market can do 4k@120hz on max settings. 1440p@144hz is the sweetspot right now in my opinion.
