Check if refresh rate matches FPS settings.
Check if refresh rate matches FPS settings.
I recently purchased the LG 24GN65R-B. I observed that the refresh rate and frame per second in games aren't aligning properly. Others with similar LG monitors have reported fluctuations in refresh rate depending on FPS, but mine remains stable. I activated the "fps counter" in the settings, which shows the monitor's refresh rate. I've tried various solutions: enabling Freesync Premium (Basic), using HDMI 2.0, and disabling V-Sync in GTA V and Valorant. Despite these adjustments, the refresh rate never drops below 144. My assumption is that with Freesync enabled, it should synchronize the monitor's refresh to match the FPS. Does this require VRR for it to function? I'm unfamiliar with VRR and don't know if my model supports it. The specs are R3 2200G, 1660Hz, but the review is limited to around 30 nits to 300 nits. I was considering GF24F 2, though after-sales support there is unreliable in my region. AOC was an option, but it was costly. I opted for LG since it's a brand name and my previous monitor was also LG.
According to what I understand, you must utilize a DisplayPort connection for Nvidia to Freesync compatibility. For an HDMI cable, you need an Nvidia GPU paired with a Gsync monitor or an AMD GPU with a Freesync monitor. With your existing configuration, the optimal choice would be to turn off Gsync/Freesync and switch to VRR (or Vsync) so the GPU restricts its refresh rate to match the monitor.
Enable G-Sync in the Nvidia control panel. Without it, you won't have Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support. VRR aligns your refresh rate with your frame rate to avoid screen tearing.
This particular device isn't widely used, while comparable 1080P LG models support both G-Sync and DisplayPort. For VRR, choose DisplayPort and activate G-Sync.
