Hi guys i'm new here and don't know much about the whole "sync-options" in a graphics card, so i created this thread to ask for some advice. I have a 1050ti with a 75hz monitor. Now the monitor have free-sync but since i have an nvidia card so that's useless. After some research i found out there are other 2 options, that are adaptive v-sync and fast sync. Now here are my experiments results when i play For Honor, 1080p, very high settings:
oh also, if this monitor's refresh rate is only 75Hz, is it possible that the game can run at 100 FPS smoothly, or it's just showing 75 FPS and somehow the FPS counter just show the wrong number???
When i first bought the monitor, i didn't turn any of those sync options on, instead i turn on adaptive sync in game setting, the result was gpu runs at above 70%, clock speed is usually above 1700 MHz, the highest clock speed i've observed was 1835 MHz, which i heard was available due to GPU Boost 3.0. The frame rate is stable at 75 FPS, which is my monitor's refresh rate.
Then i learn of fast sync, so i enabled it in nvidia's control panel, turn off the adaptive sync in game setting. The result was the game runs at 80 - 100 FPS, GPU usage i always 98, 99%, and clock speed doesn't get higher than 1750 MHz.
oh also, if this monitor's refresh rate is only 75Hz, is it possible that the game can run at 100 FPS smoothly, or it's just showing 75 FPS and somehow the FPS counter just show the wrong number???
