Enable Fast Sync.

So you're using the game setting Vsync.  Have you tried Nvidia Adaptive Vsync in Control Panel? I set in Global Settings instead off per application for my rig,  so everything just capped at 60 Hz.  The effect looks the same to the eyes.  Only after analyzing frame time can see the difference between the technique used by game Vsync and Nvidia Adaptive Vsync (you can see my test under my siggy link)

means if no gsync, screen tearing/flickering/stuttering will still happen eventho your fps doesnt go above 144fps?

stringfellow try use fast sync

i mean 1070 and above haha

but i heard that fastsync is only suitable for games where you have excess fps usually in older games with 100+ fps those you can safely use fastsync.

however for more modern titles that really test performance, and is closer to 60 fps, fastsync might not work :/ or at least that was the explanation i saw on youtube about what it was.

I did not notice that Fast Sync option until today ha ha ha.  Too bad out of town to check it out on my PC.  Did some reading though from a few sources and one thing caught my attention

From Linustechtips
"the game's engine will run in the same conditions as it would with VSync OFF - it would render scenes as fast as the system canbut the main difference is that this will add some latency - the front buffer will only contain a completely rendered scene, where in the case of VSync OFF it will be displayed no matter the completion status"

From Anandtech I highly recommend this article if want to understand what all this Vsync Input Lag hu haaa is all about
"The end result of Fast Sync is that in the right cases we can have our cake and eat it too when it comes to v-sync and input lag. By constantly rendering frames as if v-sync was off, and then just grabbing the most recent frame and discarding the rest, Fast Sync means that v-sync can still be used to prevent tearing without the traditionally high input lag penalty it causes.

With all of the above said, I should note that Fast Sync is purely about input lag and doesn’t address smoothness. In fact it may make things a little less smooth because it’s essentially dropping frames, and the amount of simulation time between frames can vary. But at high framerates this shouldn’t be an issue. Meanwhile Fast Sync means losing all of the power saving benefits of v-sync; rather than the GPU getting a chance to rest and clock down between frames, it’s now rendering at full speed the entire time as if v-sync was off.

Finally, it’s probably useful to clarify how Fast Sync fits in with NVIDIA’s other input lag reduction technologies. Fast Sync doesn’t replace either Adaptive V-Sync or G-Sync, but rather compliments them.

Adaptive V-Sync: reducing input lag when framerates are below the refresh rate by selectively disabling v-sync
G-Sync: reducing input lag by refreshing the screen when a frame is ready, up to the display’s maximum refresh rate
Fast Sync: reducing input lag by not stalling the GPU when the framerate hits the display’s refresh rate"


Will definately check out fast sync when I get back home. The thing about fast sync based on the above article,  which to me personally is a drawback is that it will let my GPU run at 100%, and I have 2 of them. I like Vsync (game or Nvidia adaptive) because my GPUs dont need to run 100% to give me that 60 fps I'm want (the very reason why I knew I will go SLI when I got the first GTX 1080, though initially I thought maybe after 6 months,  but ended up SLI within a month).  Shadow of Mordor at 4K ultra around 50-60% utilization, means less electricity and heat compared to letting both GPU run maxed out.

If fast sync benefit any of the game I play,  guess I can enabled it per application.  So it will be adaptive as my global vsync settings,  and fast sync to games that benefit from it. What do you guys think? Good comprimise between both?

stringfellowI think you're better than me when it comes to this input lag thing (like i said my brain lags worst than my PC). So maybe you can try out some if those games you said that input lag were noticeable (FPS or fighting games was it?) and tell us if fast sync helps with the input lag. Also my opinion why the game crashed when you on Fast sync with your custom OC profile was because the GPU was maxing out,  unlike when you had the normal Vsync.

sorry im still trying to understand the mechanics here ><
soooo.... if a game fps fluctuates around 60-144fps (144hz monitor no gsync), what problem would u see?

Do you disable pagefile with 32 GB RAM or just leave Windows to manage it? I noticed that even with 32GB RAM, Windows still use pagefile.

Some said you wont notice tearing if monitor at high refresh rate like 144Hz as it refresh so fast, tearing frame wont be noticeable.
  3200MHz RAM
  that M.2 SSD can read/write how fast ? I wonder when will you upgrade to PCI-E card type SSD 
I disabled it I think.
I donno what Windows and/or Chrome feeding on these day, without gaming my RAM usage will be 70-80% ( with 8 Chrome tabs opened ) on 8GB.

Ahaaaaah. Used to have 32GB on my old rig, so had pagefile disabled coz I think its just taking up disk space without contributing much to system performance. Never had any issues with low memory having 32GB RAM. Currently on 16GB so I still have pagefile enabled until I can upgrade to 32GB. Hiberfil.sys disabled in my rig and laptop. That's another space hogger. Don't need hibernate since booting from SSD is fast anyways.

That Samsung 950 PRO M.2 has a read/write of 2500/1500 if not wrong. A more common 850 EVO has 540/520. So much powah!! Almost an instantaneous boot up on power

Don't wait, buy Titan X pascal now or buy the 3 Titan X maxwell that stringfellow is selling.

Also, have you pre-ordered the Samsung Note 7 phone?

I have and I will get it by early September.
