Will input lag ever be negated on freesync/g-sync monitors?

Serious question

Should I buy another Titan Xp and SLI them or just get rid of the one I have and try to get a 2080Ti with plans to SLI another one when inventory catches up?

Man I say 2080 Ti. That is what I'm doing in a month with my 2 x TITAN X Pascals. Not even going SLi from the start which will be the first time in like 6yrs. Tons of games don't even have support and if they do get support it is not at launch. The problem with not being at launch for me is I play most games at launch, so I bet them by the time SLi support comes 6months later.

From what I understand its not terrible on gsync but horrible with freesync. PCper did a good job with metrics years ago on this issue. Will try and find the article.

My experience with gsync was great but not for us. We usually have PCs that lock us at an fps we enjoy. They are all overpriced and don't have things I truly want in a monitor.

PCPer - Difference in GSync vs FreeSync

PCPer - More details

Edt: anyone ever take their ADD/ADHD medicine and then become hyper sensitive to input lag? I normally don't have an issue with it but when on Adderall I notice any delay.

Yeah that's really old, freesync has had a tad lower input lag than gsync for awhile now.

I don't really care. Nvidia is going to be supporting it soon anyways. They were fighting a losing battle from the start.

You sure?

The tech didn't change.

Yes and no.

It is 2 different processes

Okay, let me google. IDK how but would love to find out. Thanks for explaining how this tech works!

It they both still suck. No standard is better than the other for input lag. Looking for metrics but really non out there that I can find right now.

Still think you are mistaken. Again doesn't matter the age of the articles. The process of this tech didn't change. Freesync 2 is basically display port 2.0 adaptation from 1.2.

Edt: Gsync is surprior if you read about both techs. But it comes at a stupid price markup. nVidia needs to support both standards.

After more reading the input lag issues with might not be specific to gsnyc or freesync but windows. All the input lag tests seem marginal at best.

Please read those articles UH. PCper also did a good 30mins podcast on the tech if you can't read with Red glasses on.

It's not, freesync 2 is actually superior by a decent margin especially for new tech.



We've been over this when HDR and FreeSync 2 dropped.

Goddammit.

HDR. And no we haven't been through this.

We aren't talking fckking hdr. Yes this is photon latency which is part of input latency. It's not exactly total input latency. Please understand.

I am though, I specifically said new tech.

We already know input lag for standard is the same on both.

Now to answer this, the difference is minimal, so unless you are playing CSGO or something it won't matter.

That isn't true though. Input lag is a totallity of different processes in the pipeline. It is very hard to truly measure.

It does exist.

Correct, some tests show Freesync having less, others show Gsync having less. The difference for each in said tests are very very small.

Unless we are talking HDR, where Freesync 2 has significantly less input lag thanks to it's tech.

Are you in marketing? You are awesome at being misleading.

Edt: I will agree margins are small.

Read those articles. They are good.

Don't muddy the water again. Also not sure how much truth if any is in that statement.

If I was in marketing I'd just post that there are over 300 Freesync monitors available and not even 60 GSync.

Or that there is 4 major television brands with freesync support already added or coming next year (Samsung and Vizio already, Sony and LG in 2019).

That would matter more in terms of Nvidia being forced to support the tech as manufacturers continue to push back and some even declining to make GSync displays than anything else.



Funny enough the PS4/Pro does not support Freesync, they are apparently saving that for the PS5. The Xbox One S and Xbox One X supports it though.
