Should mention that while I showed in this video that Vsync could add at least 16.7ms of latency, the real figure is more than 50ms due to a variety of reasons I didn't go into for simplicity

Made an 11 minutes long video and gave the answer in the first minute and let you decide if you want the explanation or not?
Am I even on YouTube???

The human eye can't see above 3 CPU cores.

The human eye can see 10 more fps when your system contains RGB

Downloaded some refresh rate for my 60hz monitor, it’s now running 240hz

Imagine going back in time 1000 yrs and showing this video to someone from medieval times.

[mrk]

After watching this I now feel refreshed.

"How many frames per second do you need?"
"All of them!"

Really interesting video. Personally, I'll take the (for me) barely noticeable lag over tearing any day. I'll give enhanced sync a try though, I didn't realize that's an alternative to freesync.

[DarkReturns]

Holy crap, I was just talking to u guys in the comments the other day about this. Now you've made a video about it, this is why you guys are awesome!

[mvShooting]

I can't stand tearing and I hate input lag. Kill me now.

[Vextroboomin]

Yes! A youtuber that tells us the reason at the beginning! Then explains!!

[benjaminbrandis]

As a non-English-speaking person I’m sometimes having a hard time keeping up with what is being said, however from what I‘ve understood I can say this explanation is very educational and interesting. Keep up the good work!

[Meta-Drew]

Thank you so much for just giving the answer at the beginning, I'm going to watch the whole video but I sincerely appreciated it just being said flat out at the beginning. Subscribed

3 minutes in and now i truly understand why screen tearing happens. Great explanation. looking forward to the rest

[kinseyjr]

Great breakdown. Screen tearing and vsync input lag drove me nuts for years. Then I upgraded to a 144hz freesync monitor and I've had a buttery smooth gaming experience since. In my opinion adaptive sync is one of the best advancements in gaming technology. I just wish I would have discovered it earlier.

In short: Yes more then 60 fps is better on 60 hz display, because the image renderd on your 60 hz screen will be a more actual image the higher the fps.

[osamabuhnad]

My monitor has 144hz but I usually download 20hz every night

[electricmiragemedia]

The problem is that screen tearing on a 60hz monitor makes 60 fps look like 30

For competitive games: always vsync off
Non-competitive games: vsync on
