So I should start by saying I have had a G-sync monitor before. An official one not just compatible model and I preferred the 144hz over G-sync. I didn't find it made a huge difference in my life/gaming experience. I had to return those models they had issues. Skip ahead 3-4 years later and I buy a new monitor that is g-sync compatible. I saw this as a selling point or definitely a bonus.
So recently I've been playing a ton of Valorant with some buds. I also decided to overclock my RTX 2060. So I download the 3dmark demo on steam this weekend and one of the things it tells you when you start it is to turn g-sync off. So I go ahead do it, run the benchmark, then start a game a couple hours later.
This is where it gets interesting.. So after I joined the game I realized I didn't turn G-sync back on and didn't want to switch it on and screw up my video or crash the game or something. Yeah I was far more accurate and was doing waaaaay better. I feel like G-sync might add a bit of lag or something. I seem to be far more accurate now and I really don't notice a quality drop.
What do you guys think? I'm sorta feeling like g-sync/freesync is just mostly marketing hype and reviewers who talk about how wonderful it must be playing minecraft or something then do reviews. Honestly I kinda doubt the pros are using it even if they are running g-sync monitors.
Just my 2 cents, but I say give it a try for a few hours and see if it makes a difference for you.
