Hi

It seems this monitor is HRR but VRRR is from 48 to 144 Hz and not from 0 to 144 Hz.

I don't know exactly what this means for a game (MSFS) that is played around 20 to 50 frames per second. Some people say that I will get problems with this monitor while playing between 20 and 48 frames per second. I don't know exactly what and I would like to know befor purchasing it.

You shouldn't prioritize VRR over high frames.

Lower your settings to try and land above 60 fps and it wont be a problem.

The game almost never goes above 50 fps...

What are the specs of your system

What are the specs of your system

i9-10900K and RTX 3090, but even wih those you can't run more than 40 fps with all settings ultra.

My question is related to refresh rates, stutters, tearing and so on.

I saw the monitors posted above but some of them are really too expensive. I would like an answer just for the one I posted in the title so that I can decide. To buy or not to buy, that's the question.

You can always disable gsync if it causes issues.

How is possible if I have NVidia card?

Its just a feature, you can disable it in NVIDIA Control Panel.

Buy the monitor, set up GSYNC.

Play the game, if you don't have issues, cool, resolved.

If you do have issues, just disable GSYNC in the NVIDA control panel.

I would imagine you won't have too many tearing issues since those are really prevalent in faster paced games like shooters and racers. From what I can tell, MSFS is pretty slow paced, so I don't think you will have an issue.
