G-Sync, high frame rate and emulators

Yes, I bought a G-Sync monitor.
The Asus PG279Q. A great 27" IPS monitor, 165Hz and G-Sync. I highly recommend it.


Anyway, why would I buy this one ? For the sake of emulation, of course. 
With the help of Freesync or G-Sync and 75Hz monitor and +, you can say goodbye to tearing and input lag output lag! That's not a joke. Theses monitors are simply a godsend. 

Last few months, one of my fixations was these damn input lag output lag. (≧ロ≦)
There's a few things to do in order to reduce the input lag when you don't have g-sync or freesync. And some are worth to be used like hard GPU sync, triple buffering in windowed mode or some tricks with nvidia and ati drivers. You'll reduce it, but never get rid of it. With g-sync and freesync, yes.


But now, I'm free from bad input lag output lag and tearing. 
You've just had to set a frame limit, but almost every emulator set this for you. The little detail I like it's when you use Fast Forward option, everything remains smooth. ^◡^

No more v-sync, no more stuttering, no more tearing, only a smooth gameplay. A must buy for any emulation lover.

EDIT: here's a good video on this subject, thanks to LocutusOfBorges

  1. Hey, I have a G-Sync monitor and would like some help. Do you notice any stuttering for 59/60 games in RetroArch? What are your settings?

  2. Hi, no I didn't notice. It is the interest of g-sync, if it's activated. ^^
    In RA, like on the screenshot, i've turned off v-sync and hard GPU sync. That's all and it works.
