[SOLVED] GSYNC + VSYNC + Frame Limiter = more input lag?

[lethal66]

Hello there, I currently have GSYNC, VSYNC, and frame limiter on in the NVCP. VSYNC is enabled because when it's off I notice tearing only on the bottom half of the screen and it really bugs me and disables me from having a smooth experience. But my question is, will I have more input lag with these three things enabled?

G-Sync it self is already enough. it will sync the frame from gpu to monitor with less latency compared to vsync,

As per my experience, when i borrowed my friend's 165hz monitor, a g-sync compatible monitor (freesync monitor), the screen tearing only appears if the FPS dropped below 120fps, in the means "Really Feel" it. So GSync on + frame limiter is already more than enough. but try to use only gsync.

If you care about fps then try to adapt with the tearing, eventho i hope for a noticable screen tearing, i tested 1 match of valorant without any syncs both monitor and NVCP etc etc, i didn't see any screen tearing at a really visible level, frame capped and un capped, both are almost identical.

I usually dont do any syncs cause competitive fps is all about more fps and less latency. I only use Vsync and Frame limiter to AAA non competitive games.
