I donât have Gsync, but I can share some thoughts.
Vsync is controlled from the NCP or the game, never both.
Vsync with frame capping is the old way. Vsync with Low Latency Mode is the new way.
I use Vsync 60pfs with Low Latency Mode = Ultra. Works great!
I donât think there is one best setting since everyoneâs PC HW configurations and capabilities vary considerably.
For myself, I have AMD 5900x, RX 6800 16gig GPU, 32gig memory, NVME M.2 drive (2) with a Samsung Q70A TV/monitor at 120Hz. While my GPU & monitor support Freesync premium pro I have it turned off. I have found that the MSFS Vsync works best (20fps or 30fps) as the sim can manage frame rates on its own. For SU9, youâre always going to have stutters at some point, you just have to fine tune it to minimize them.
I always set the Vsync in the Game settings. In my case, my monitor is a 60hz model. I set Vsync to 100% in Game settings, and it syncs at 60pfs. I tune my graphics settings to high at 1440p to keep my frames solid. Once you see itâs working, turn off the FPS counter.
G-sync is separate from FPS performance. It is a combination of hardware and GPU software that dynamically changes the monitorâa refresh rate to match the frame rate output of the GPU as long as the frame rate doesnât exceed the monitorâs maximum refresh rate. G-sync is designed to prevent screen tearing. For example, frames are generated by the GPU then sent to the monitor. If the monitor hasnât finished displaying a frame before the next frame arrives, only partial frames are shown. During fast movement, the screen âtearsâ and doesnât look good if it happens frequently. Using G-sync, the monitor does not show partial frames. It doesnât matter if it is 20 FPS or 70 FPS. Personally, I enable G-sync for my monitor and I leave VSYNC off. YMMV
VSYNC is different because it is application controlled. There are a number of VSYNC and capping the frame rate topics on this forum with recommendations for optimal performance that can be found by using the forum search.
I like V-Sync off if you have a monitor capable of G-Sync or FreeSync.
So I would probably go with option 1 or 2.
As low latency should not be that relevant and your fps wonât be much higher if they reach 60, a fps cap should not have a major impact.
In the end trying is the best option, but I would do it in SU10 using DX12/DX11.
Any change in the amount of bits processed by a GPU is going to increase its temperature. Taking of the frame rate cap, changing to a higher resolution, implementing HDR are going to increasing the number of bits going to the monitor. This is the GPUâs one and only job, send bits to the monitor(s).
GPU manufactures publish operating temperatures for their products (mostly for warranty and RMA replacements). Temperatures should be monitored, of course. I discovered that my GPU (2080ti) automatically lowers the clock speed if the temperature becomes too high and restores it as temperature decreases.
I find ultra mostly works great however not at all for 4k lossless recording. On my PC for the sake of less than one fps the low latency âOnâ setting resolves the issue completely.
Had issues using g sync also with v sync personally so I run Riva tuner and set at 60fps for msfs.exe although never had any issues leaving it uncapped on my Samsung oddessy monitor but to keep a bit of load off the system I usually leave at 60 though.
