So I turned on my monitor's FPS counter--which displays the monitors refresh rate. It's in the top left corner.
Then I turned on fraps. I put it on the top right corner. It displays the frames the GPS is putting out.
These numbers are... different. Freesync can't keep up with changing frame rates. (they should lower the refresh rate a tad and have a temporary vsync to deal with this.)
But the biggest problem is that freesync goofs up altogether and despite having, say, a 55fps framer ate my monitor will glitch up and set itself to 144hz, momentarily shutting freesync down altogether. This happens mostly when framer a test are below 60... Which is where I need freesync the most.
Is it just me? I mean, it is better than no freesync... Although vsync in many cases is better.
EDIT: Did some more testing... Freesync only seems to work when framerate are extremely stable, and even then it hiccups.
Pretty sure it isn't just me and my hardware. Freesync doesn't seem to offer much, if any benefit at all.
I'm going to record a video and upload it.
