Screen tear or input lag? To vsync or not to vsync? For the longest time, this was an either-or question in the PC gaming space. You could either have a tear-free, properly frame-paced image or low input latency. You couldn't have both. Or could you?
Well that depends. If you already have a modern gaming monitor that supports variable refresh rate (FreeSync or G-Sync), you don’t need to use this guide at all.
But if you have a regular, fixed refresh rate monitor, or if you like to play games on your TV, this guide will help you get a tangibly better experience in terms of screen tearing and input lag.
