Been trying to play Grid 2 on my PC with Freesync monitor.
When freesync is on i get 60 fps and it looks all stuttery abd flickery.
When freesync is off i get constant 144 fps (my monitor's max hz, but vsync and freesync off) and it looks great.
Any idea?
Thanx

What is the Freesync range of your monitor? If you go below or above the range, you won't get the benefit of the feature, and will throw back to regular v-sync implementations.
My range is 48hz-144hz.
If i get above it, vsync should cap it at a144 and thats it.
But i dont get above, as i said with freesync on i get approx. 60 fps and off i get 144 fps.

What about other games? Do they work fine with Freesync on? Maybe there's something going on with Grid 2.

    Illinois is working to ban toxic food additives that have been banned for decades in other countries; additives that can be replaced and all those countries still have Skittles and Mountain Dew. Title of the piece: GUBMINT WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CANDY

    Gee, I wonder if the author is biased?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Veho, Sounds and smells like bullshit. They don't give you cancer, and California should know that. I don't get why they stick labels that say "may or may not cause reproductive harm or cancer".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Arsenic doesn't give you cancer either.

    Mame should be two sets one for preservation of everything and one set for people who just want to play and enjoy the old old ganes

    It's so unfair, maybe AI can save us lol

    I mean if a company could use AI to do the work of a home conversion for essentially free why not? The rights for some games are completely lost though
