How VSync affects frame rates and screen tearing
Engadget says VSync makes the GPU wait for a monitor's refresh cycle, potentially adding input lag or stuttering.
TLDR
Engadget explains that VSync makes the GPU wait for a monitor's refresh cycle to help prevent screen tearing. It can introduce input lag or stuttering when the GPU can't keep up. Engadget suggests trying FreeSync or G-Sync if your setup supports them, with standard VSync as a fallback when neither is compatible.
