It sucks that LG's implementation of Freesync has that narrow window, but you don't have to turn on filters and things to limit the fps if it is too high. I know RadeonPro can limit the frames of any video game and I am sure there are other programs. I mean you shouldn't have to but its a better work around than trying to max out the game to drop the framerate.
you need to figure out what fps you play in the majority of the games you play and hope that the narrow range of freesync refreshs matches that of your fps in games.
Logan spent some time at the end saying he was trying to get games to go below the monitor's max refresh rate. In this article by blurbusters, they look at the first gsync monitor (ASUS VG248QE G-SYNC) and measure input latency for various games.
Of note is counter-strike, which as Logan mentioned runs well above the max refresh rate of most monitors. By lowering the game's fps_max setting to slightly below the max refresh rate, blurbusters actually measured half the input latency, as gsync actually forces vsync to be enabled above the max refresh rate. Freesync lets you choose vsync on or off, but personally I'd rather limit the game's FPS to not go above that rate anyways, because I don't want tearing OR latency.
If you want low input latency, no tearing, and adaptive sync technology for either gsync/freesync, then limit your framerate with afterburner or something to just below your monitor's max refresh rate. Above the max you get tearing or vsync lag.
Note that below the minimum fps on freesync, you get frame/refresh mismatching like older non-adaptive monitors, but between the minimum and maximum, gsync and freesync perform the same.
Is it just me, or is video frame rate a bit wonky? i noticed some lower frame rate/tearing in the Seattle Tek video as well. I checked the stats for the video and it said it was 24fps. Is this perhaps due to the video not being fully processed by youtube yet, or was it shot at 24fps?
I know i am probably alone in this, but i would love some 60fps content. maybe not for the Tek or Inbox, but i think it would be pretty legit for product overviews, especially monitors.
Blade Runner was one helluva movie. Everything you see now in recent movies like the big ads and stuff, all came from blade runner, at least that's what I know.
Hey @Logan how bad was the backlight bleed on all three monitors? I've read these ultra wide monitors from LG have terrible backlight bleed out the box.
In games such as CS:S, or CS:GO, there are console commands that limit your frame rate. So if you're frequently going over 75 FPS, and still want that freesync capability, just use 'fps_max 75'
