Experiment with the settings on and off, adjust as needed. Choose your preference. If available, use adaptive VSync—this can switch on VSync when the frame rate exceeds your monitor’s refresh rate and turn it off when it falls below. It’s better to let you decide what feels right for you.
Ensure your FPS matches or exceeds your monitor's capabilities. If it falls short, fine-tune the settings until it does. For minor discrepancies (e.g., 80 vs 60), enable the feature for smoother performance. When FPS is too high relative to your refresh rate (like 200 vs 60), disable it for a more responsive feel. Keeping it off when needed prevents stuttering and potential tearing, while activating it unnecessarily introduces lag.
For 60hz monitors, your system may be generating more frames than intended. The impact on higher frame rates like 120-144 fps isn't clear—some might experience smooth performance, while others could see stuttering. Adaptive G/V sync tends to offer the best visual smoothness, though it depends on your monitor capabilities. Competitive shooters often favor a fixed 144 fps at 1080p over adaptive 4K, depending on their priorities.
Enable screen tearing if needed, but disable it when not required. It introduces delay, so use only when necessary.
