Brother we have to get you up to a million subscribers. You touched on things I’ve been trying to get explained for a long time. You explained this to the tee. Great Great Job 👍🏾
Thanks buddy, really appreciate the comment!
No problem quick question I have a free sync monitor and I tried to use a Samsung freesync monitor for game The Last of us but that game runs only in Window Bordered and not full screen. I tried two different monitors with freesync set and it seems not to work right due to maybe not full screen. What was a way I can use on this type of game
@@ramonj7037 check blurbusters' guide (in the description) on windowed games, as I'm not sure what more to suggest in your case!
so enabling Vsync in control panel and gsync is not good idea for competitive titles right ? like csgo? or apex?
Great video, people should find this very helpful. 😃
Thanks, you legend
this channel is so underrated you deserve 1 millions subs
Thanks bud, really appreciate it!
Awesome video!!! Thanks!❤
Pleasure, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you brother. Very helpful video.
Pleasure!
Very helpful! Thank you! I have a question, though. @TotallydubbedHD what about texture anisotropy vs G-sync. Do I still enable it? Or do I disable it in game and enable in nVidia settings? Do I disable both? I haven't managed to find a clear answer anywhere. I'm also mainly playing Destiny 2. Thank you in advance!
Not sure about that, not researched or used that option. Sorry!
@@TotallydubbedHD Thank you for such a quick response. One last question - I have an issue with my Samsung Odyssey G7 C27G75TQSU - 27" monitor. It flickers while I'm in desktop mode but the image is nice and stable while gaming. It's a known issue BUT it's always exactly the other way around - stable on desktop and flickering in game. I was thinking this might be somehow connected to G-sync? Have you encountered this issue? I've tried every possible solution (including horrible Samsung customer support, firmware update, drivers and software update). I'm actually considering buying a new monitor :(
@@tomaszzaremba8005 I've not, unless G-Sync isn't officially working. So, maybe if you disable it, all those issues will go away.
Thanks, had a feeling I wasn't set up right.
No worries, glad I could help!
Thank you 🙏
Pleasure!
If low latency mod is ultra with max fps set to -3 and vsync is turned on in the nvidia panel, what should I do with vsync option inside game settings - turn off?
I liked the sincerity
What low latency mode do you use when gsync is off for competitive games? On, off, ultra?
It's a hard one to answer as it's based on the game. As I play CSGO (generally CPU bound), I have no real benefit of using the settings - as it's really to help GPU-bound games. Thus, my suggestion would be: check your GPU usage when playing your game of choice and see if the GPU is being truly utilised, if it is, then set the setting to ON (Ultra can cause issues in certain scenarios - and I'd only recommend that setting if the game has Nvidia Reflex built-in to the game's settings). If you see, like me, that GPU utilisation is really low, then I don't think you'll benefit from ULLM (ultra low latency mode) - and you'll be good with it set to Off. Hope that helps!
Thank you!
Pleasure!
Nvidia g sync monitor are supported 3d vision or not ?
Hi there! I wanted to ask you a question not really related to this video, but more your advice for which monitor to choose. I know these 2 monitors are a bit older and maybe there are better options, but I am in the market for a new gaming monitor at an affordable price and saw you do reviews on both of them. The monitors in question are: AOC C27G2ZE vs AOC 27G2SPU/BK The C27G2ZE is running at 240hz but in your review I saw you talking a lot about motion blur issues since it is a VA panel. So I wonder if I should then go for the 165hz IPS panel that the 27G2SPU offers? Hope to get a reply from you soon and thanks in advance! 😃
I would suggest the 27G2SPU, however, if you consider yourself a hardcore gamer and you're considering a 240hz, I'd seriously consider this: kzhead.info/sun/nMyHoaywn4WIpYk/bejne.html
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks a lot for the very quick answer! I will definitely try to get my hands on the monitor from the link you sent me. If I don't manage to buy that I'll go for the 27G2SPU. Thanks again! You just got yourself a new sub 😁
@@skydoesmc36 thanks! Links in the description give me commission via Amazon :)
@@TotallydubbedHD Hi! Sorry for bothering you again 😅 I have one more important question. I have found the monitor from the link you sent me for sale and was about to buy it, but then I checked my laptop and it only has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 DisplayPort port. Do you know if that port can even support 240hz and if I buy an adapter will that be a problem? I found a few articles on the internet but none of them are very concise so I gotta ask the expert 😉 I am worried because apparently usb 3.2 gen 1 only has max bandwidth of 5Gbps. Thanks again and hope to get a reply soon!
@@skydoesmc36 honestly not sure when it comes to USBC ports, as they're picky at times. But it should be fine, especially at 1080p!
Both Nvidia reflex and low latency mode caps your fps if you have vsync enabled with G-sync so no need to cap it when you use either of those. If you must cap your fps on a 240hz monitor though i'd recommend capping your fps at 225 fps, that's what nvida does with reflex. A 237 cap is too close to the monitors max refresh rate i believe.
hello,do you have any idea why i still have tearing even with this settings?for exemple,if my fps drop from 230 fps to 225 fps,i got tearing...do you have any idea please?my rig is pretty good,so it should not be the problem..
Not sure, but it wouldn't be to do with G-Sync, at least it it's actually supported on your monitor.
So my question is should i use this settings in all of the games and how about if i have 240hz monitor and i dont get 240fps stable but i can feel some input lag with gsyn on what should i do in that case And should i limit fps even if reflex low latency mode automatically capping my fps
Yes, if you want to benefit from the best experience, as mentioned in the video.
включаєш просто fastsync+gsync і можешь ставити кадрів скільки хочешь , важливо без низької затримки і обмеження роби в самій грі, затримки нуль, рваних кадрів нуль, я 3 місяці шукав відповідь поки сам не дійшов до цього, а ця настройка автора не правильна затримка дуже і дуже велика в онлайн іграх шутерах вона точно не підходить повірь, 3 місяцям моїх досліджень😊
thanks for this video i just ordered alienware AW2521H monitor but i found no G-Sync sticker on its leg .. is this normal?
Pleasure. I'm not sure about the marketing - better look into the specs!
@@TotallydubbedHD im not expert but thank u very much bro
if you play hardcore fps game as you said. Do you need to turn off the "in-game" low latency mode as well as in NVidia control panel?
You'd only want to use it once, and not double up - I just answered a question to someone else, which I thought I'd copy and paste for your info (was in relation to using ULLM in general) :) It's a hard one to answer as it's based on the game. As I play CSGO (generally CPU bound), I have no real benefit of using the settings - as it's really to help GPU-bound games.

Excellent video. But what i wanna know is how you captured a PERFECTLY smooth clip of gameplay? Was it captured during 60hz or 144hz?
Thanks! And as for the gameplay, at the native refresh rate of the monitor(s).
Is it important to activate free sync to a g sync gpu for every game or not ? Because I have a monitor 240hz with and amd FreeSync premium
This has been covered in the video
@@TotallydubbedHD how many fps I will get if I don’t activate gpu with amd FreeSync premium?
@@angondash1965 it doesn't affect it
@@TotallydubbedHD so it’s mean I can get 240 fps?
@@angondash1965 yes that's to do with your GPU power, not Freesync
Im confused on v sync still. so if my fps never went below 48 or above 144 fps in theroy the v sync would never kick on. so as long as im not out of that range g sync is good enough. like if i set the in game limiter 3 less and my pc was good enough to never drop below 48 fps?
Yes but you can't guarantee that.
@TotallydubbedHD that is true I just am not a fan of the ULL being on because sometimes I like to set my games down to 100 to 120 fps if it's really intense and I heard setting a frame cap in game can mess with ULL and v sync and make it worse. also having it on can be weird with games with reflex
@@user-ge6py9jh6o alright, best of luck!
thanks

Здравствуйте, пожалуйста подскажите такую инфу - у меня 2k 27gp850, я играю в танки, система мне даёт стабильно 250fps, вот как лучше с G-sync и залочить 161гц или отключить G-sync и залочить 220 fps и играть, мне нужна профессиональная Ваша консультация.
If it's input lag related it's always a good vid for online gamers.
Thanks!
good job
Thanks!
Great vid! the blurbuster Faq actually has a section on why you should use the V sync option with G sync: "Upon its release, G-SYNC’s ability to fall back on fixed refresh rate V-SYNC behavior when exceeding the maximum refresh rate of the display was built-in and non-optional. A 2015 driver update later exposed the option. This update led to recurring confusion, creating a misconception that G-SYNC and V-SYNC are entirely separate options. However, with G-SYNC enabled, the “Vertical sync” option in the control panel no longer acts as V-SYNC, and actually dictates whether, one, the G-SYNC module compensates for frametime variances output by the system (which prevents tearing at all times. G-SYNC + V-SYNC “Off” disables this behavior; see G-SYNC 101: Range), and two, whether G-SYNC falls back on fixed refresh rate V-SYNC behavior; if V-SYNC is “On,” G-SYNC will revert to V-SYNC behavior above its range, if V-SYNC is “Off,” G-SYNC will disable above its range, and tearing will begin display wide. Within its range, G-SYNC is the only syncing method active, no matter the V-SYNC “On” or “Off” setting."
Thanks! And indeed, their website is linked in the description.
suppose i want least input lag, so capping fps to 142 in 144hz monitor is way to go?
Uncapped is what you want. Higher FPS = lower total system latency.
@@TotallydubbedHD i play gta 5 and it has weird problem of hiccups at some limit so suppose gta 5 act weird going over 180, so i should limit it to 178, but keep it uncapped for other games?
Thank you very much for solving my gsync problems,. I really didn't know until today that my poor performance on non fullscreen games was because i was not using nvdia inspector's fullscreen and windowed mode!!!
Pleasure buddy, really glad I could help :)
What about low fps games like Microsoft Flight Simulator? I get on average 33-43 fps. (Monitor is Samsung G5 34 inch with Freesync Premium 165hz and GPU is Super 1660).
Then you'll struggle to see the benefits.
@@TotallydubbedHD Story of my life… 🤣. What settings do you recommend? Freesync on or off? Low latency mode off/on or ultra? Vsync off/on or fast? Cap frames or uncapped? Tnx
@@jasminbenca4035 most of what you've asked is covered in the video.
should i use nvidia g sync for gaming ?
No. For hardcore porn
My g-sync keep causing flashing on the sides in wow had turn it off
Sounds like you've got an incompatible monitor?
why i don't need to enable the vsync in game?
cuz you enabled it in the nvidia control panel globally
Damn I ain’t ever use g sync before. I tried today. It makes it feel so much smoother and more fluid
Glad you're enjoying it!
@@TotallydubbedHD I have my games capped at 240anyways, after enabling g sync vsync and low latency in nvidia cp it caps it at 225, but feels the exact same as 240. It’s better for the big warzone battle royal map because it’s more stable at 225 and doesn’t bounce around but it also feels way more smooth
Low latency mode ultra is not necessary if the game supports reflex. It is completely overrided by reflex. And the only different between on and ultra is that ultra sets an auto FPS limit below the refresh rate, thats the only difference (which is basically what reflex does as well as long as you have vsync on) Its also worthy to mention capping frames in NVCP or RTSS does not reduce latency as much as capping in game. If there is an ingame frame limiter, it is much better. There are a few examples where NVCP frame limiter would be better, and it usually has to do with games where the frametimes are spiking and causing stutters. Sometimes, because of the stutters and jumpy FPS, latency can be inconsistent. Other than that, always use an in game frame limiter. A lot of games on steam will let you use a launch option that limits FPS (or unlocks). I don't know of any games that don't allow an in game frame limit. I'm not sure if I missed it in the video, but GSYNC settings will almost always cause more input lag than just having it unlocked. You get screen tearing but when you're at 144+ hz, its relatively meaningless and doesn't impact competitive gameplay but the game may feel less smooth
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
In the Chapter about G-Sync Settings you explain to turn on V-Sync in the NVidia Control Panel. Then when you jump into Destiny (visualy appealing settings) you have V-Sync OFF inGame but you do not explain why. So V-Sync ON in NVidia - okay But how to set it in Game and why?
While I've noted it in the video, it's a good question and one I should have covered. Effectively, as the Nvidia Control Panel (NVCP) V-Sync doesn't incur any extra input lag and works in connection with G-Sycn technologies. The in-game one however, can cause issues and if it's running on top of the NVCP V-sync, it could add that unwanted input lag (ie work on top of the global settings). So, effectively you want to ensure that V-sycn in games (all) are always disabled. Usually this will be the case anyway as game developers don't want you having a bad input lag experience either. Hope that answers it :)?
@@TotallydubbedHD Wow thank you for the quick response! This should be a great help for all who read this and for those interested i rly recommend to check the blurbuster link :) thank you
@@yverson87 no worries, and yes indeed!
using gsync on valorant or csgo is better in my opinion. when you use ultra low latency mode plus the frame limiter and gsyc+vsync its smooth with no screen tearing and barely any input delay. The ripple effect from screen tearing is what throws me off in competitive games i dont even know how you guys bare with that but ive gotten to a high rank in valorant using gsync so i see no reason to disable it at all.
Sure, whatever works for you.
Is it better to enable it or disable it on rocket league?
That's for you to decide!
@@TotallydubbedHD okay I enabled it and thank you for your help it's really appreciated 🙏🏽❤
@@lensko3715 no worries.
I’ve tried everything but I feel huge input lag. Mouse feels shit with it enabled.
Shouldn't be the case.
Then use it in CS 😂 I have for the most of times in fps games under 240 fps but still it’s noticeable. You don’t notice it in other fps games?
@@PvtRinzlerwhich monitor do you have by interest?
@@TotallydubbedHD AW2721D 240hz
@@PvtRinzler native G-Sync, so should be good!
As you can see in the Gsync demo, freesync isn't as smooth as Gsync.
Yup
I have a freesync monitor. I don't game below 48hz 🤣
I always use Gsync without Vsync it feels way snappier, i dont care if i get some tearing once in a while because Vsync just makes the game sluggish and unresponsive even with Ultra low latency on. For FPS games i always turn off Gsync because you need that low latency to be competitive.
Guess whatever works for you!

Having V-Sync on is the frame limiter, that's what it does, you don't need a frame limiter with G-Sync, it's what you used to do with fixed refresh monitors to reduce input latency by reducing the FPS by 3. V-sync is a monitor refresh frame rate limiter, it's as simple as that.
Better watch the video again and read the articles in the description.
What I said isn't wrong, for years there has been debates about having vsync on or off , it makes no difference , only limits the frame rate to max refresh, which is what vsync is for. So frame rate limiter on is useless with gsync. So to summarise, vsync is a frame rate limiter so you do t need one on, fps will never go over max refresh
