Why would you even want G-Sync over FreeSync, or even V-Sync for that matter? Let’s delve into the specifics of how Nvidia’s frame-pacing solution works. Because monitors and graphics cards operate at completely different cadences in a non-G-Sync environment, screen tearing and stuttering kick in when the graphics card’s render time is slower than the monitor’s refresh rate. It hands over incomplete frames for the screen to update itself with, or simply doesn’t deliver the goods in time and skips frames. By adding an additional bit of circuitry into the monitor, G-Sync makes the refresh rate march at the beat of your GPU’s drum, rather than the other way around. It means you’re always seeing complete frames on screen, because your monitor only ever asks your GPU for a new…
