You’re seeing two settings that seem unrelated: one controls your monitor’s refresh rate, while the other manages synchronization between the game and your display. The “sync every frame” option ensures the game updates its visuals in perfect time with your monitor’s refresh cycle, reducing flickering or stuttering. It works by aligning in-game rendering with the monitor’s refresh rate, making the experience smoother.

This feature lets you adjust the refresh rate inside the game, while "sync every frame" activates Vsync.

When playing in full screen, the screen refresh rate takes precedence over the settings in the control panel. Keeping every frame synchronized is essentially VSync. If you're using dynamic syncing, you should disable it.

Variable syncing is G-Sync compatible. Since you don’t have a G-Sync monitor, there’s no need to worry. Also, you’re not using VSync. Thanks for clarifying!

They are comparable, but rather of aligning the frames to a setting you picked—G-sync and FreeSync do this—Vsync locks the frames to your monitor's refresh rate instead. Both enhance overall fluidity and remove screen tearing. Vsync offers broader compatibility since it works on any monitor, while FreeSync requires a specific display.
