How does Vsync work?
Your monitor settings might conflict with the game's display. The game could override the NVIDIA panel if it runs at a higher refresh rate than the panel supports. At 60Hz, Vsync behavior depends on whether it’s enabled: adaptive Vsync turns off Vsync when FPS drops below the target, but if you’re under 60fps and Vsync is active, it will stop refreshing to match your input.
Vsync turned down your FPS to a minimum of 40, preventing it from dropping below that level. It keeps the display in sync with your monitor’s refresh rate, avoiding tearing. Refresh rates such as 59Hz and 119Hz determine how smooth the image appears; they control the number of frames per second, making motion look more fluid.
It's simply at the point where the program locks you in FPS; 59 Hz doesn't really matter compared to 60, just like 119 to 120 is similar.
Can the system reach 120 fps? If not, it should cap at 60, as I think (like if you can't hit 60, it drops to 30). It's not really 60fps, more around 59.9 times something.
Updates your frames to prevent screen tearing. Also reduces stuttering when needed.
On a 120hz screen it switches through 120-60-45-40-30, prompting curiosity about why consoles didn't adopt 120 TVs. This setup provides 40 and 45 fps v-sync, whereas 60 offers smoother performance.
