Vsync Question with Nvidia

[Guest]

Hello Everyone!

So I have this PC

i7 4790k,maximus vii ranger, GTX970 g1 gaming, 8GB 1600 Hyperx black ram

My question would be,

When I had a r9 270x I had lots of issues with screen tearing.I intend play few demanding games on this system.

So what would be the best option to apply globally , Adaptive or just vsysnc?

Vsync would limit to lower fps ranges when the gpu can't render enough fps, And adaptive does a real cool job activating vsync when needed?

So what is the point of not having adaptive vsync globally?

The only problem with adaptive V-Sync is it could in certain cases not kick in when needed. Can't say for sure, never really used it.
An even better option yet would be getting a G-Sync or Freesync monitor: absolute smoothness without any drawbacks. (other than price)

Been back in PC gaming for a year now and I settled on adaptive and it has not given me any problem (4570k & GTX780)

Depends on the games options/engine, monitor refresh rate, and other factors.

Some games force V-sync. Adaptive Sync should work fairly well for high requirements games and shut off V-sync when the GPU can't cope with 60FPS. When you run a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor it doesn't make much sense to have either on.

There is no indication that Nvidia will make their cards compatible with Freesync. G-Sync monitors are still a little pricey.

I have a 60Hz 1920x1080 monitor so I run with V-sync on. (Waiting on some competition to lower the price of the ROG Swift, and quality seems to have dropped off with the extreme rush to get them built)
