    Basic vsync worsens response time, often by a lot. I’d take screen tearing over vsync.

      True. For FPS I often do that too. For top-down view games it’s often nicer with vsync. Even triple buffered.

      That’s news to me. I haven’t had any gaming machine for sometime now, my last PC was using an AMD FX6300 and Radeon 285 slotted into and ASUS board. I didn’t have the budget to buy any monitor beyond 1080p 60hz. Ah, lots of Skyrim, GTA V and Witcher 3 memories

      I really miss gaming on MacOS, the Switch is fun but nowhere close. A Steam Deck might scratch the itch?

        The biggest reason for all of the free sync/ gsync stuff is because vsync sucks and makes latency worse.
