Re: Adaptive Vsync (Half-Refresh) disabled after restart, possibly other Vsyncs

Adaptive and trashsync GimmickSync bah

Tripplebuffering works with standard Vsync on 144hz for me

@F340BD

Tripplebuffering is not that great. It has more input lag than double and adaptive.

But I will try it.

I found a solution for me.

Tripplebuffering didnt work. It did the same thing. Framerate was going from 75 to 80 (75hz monitor) and felt really bad.

The weird thing is that vsync didnt work, not even from nvidia control panel!! Same thing, framerate wasnt locked at 75.

Thankfully I tried fast sync (from nvidia control panel) and it worked. Almost perfectly synced  and no input lag. (I caped the framerate at 80fps from origin launcher ,so fast sync can work properly....since I have a 75hz monitor )

Nice everything is so inconsistent lately with performance in things whilst the Api's in place are known they still manage to reinvent this wheel and break games Always people tied to EA.

What monitor do you have ? Others might benefit

@F340BD 

I have AOC  G2460V (1920x1080 @ 75hz) with Freesyng (for ATI cards), I only use nvidia cards so I cant use freesync but its ok.

But I cant advise people to buy 75hz monitors. All gamers should go for 144hz even if they play at 80fps.

For me 75fps is the minimum for fast first person shooters and 60fps is unplayable (you lose the track of the enemy when there is a lot of movement). So, in the future I will go for a 144hz monitor, even if my rig can only get 85-90fps. I will buy a monitor with g-sync, so it will be fine.

ps: also free-sync is a little tricky. I tried it on another game that I play (quake) and capping it at 80fps has very choppy. I had to cap it at 75 or 76 fps to have a smooth animation. And even then Im not sure that it is better than un-synced.

(for some reason some games look veeeery smooth when you play "nosync , capped at 76fps on a 75hz monitor" and other games like Apex look very bad. Apex looks bad even at 100fps ,on a 75hz monitor I mean  ) 

@Anaxim_0 

When the display controller on the monitor drops frames for smoothness it can appear like disappearing some 60hz monitors are more than capable and some 144hz monitors are just bad and pushed to appear that way and hinder play.

Freesync and Gsync are gimmicks like RGB and Gaming so are the days of our lives.

@F340BD 

I'm afraid you are right.

Also I did more testing today.

In quake champions, fast sync is a lot worse than the normal vsync , its too choppy. No sync at all its also a lot better (than fast sync) , it does a lot of tearing but still its good.

So, Im afraid it will be the same for apex too.  (normal)Vsync will be a lot better than fast sync. For now (where normal vsync doesnt work in apex ) fast sync is the only solution for me.Its not bad but its not perfect.

(I agree about some monitors are worse than others but still ,  a perfectly synced 60hz monitor vs a perfectly synced 75hz monitor has 15less frames.  If you like do do a test ,there are some first person shooters that let you do vsync every 2 frames. If you have a 60hz monitor it makes you play at 30fps synced. When you play some time with 30fps then you understand that there is absolutely no way that 60 fps are enough for a fast first person shooter........90fps , yes I would be happy... but less than 80-85fps you are in serious disadvantage when you play vs people with expensive computers )

@Anaxim_0 

You have to work with what you've got at times sometimes the advertised specs are limited more than should be allowed simply from cheap manufacturing to save 40c by using a sub optimal part that causes all kinds of grief.
