Nvidia’s adaptive sync is a smart alternative to vsync that allows you to render frames using the nvidia control panel software.
Vsync adaptive. The old one took some ~10ms to process, render the frame. Fast sync basically renders as many frames as the gpu possibly can, and drops the ones that aren't required. Available for games based on directx® 9, 11, 12* and vulkan® apis as well.
Nvidia’s adaptive sync is a smart alternative to vsync that allows you to render frames using the nvidia control panel software. Firstly the difference between adaptive and non vsync is that regular vsync locks the refresh rate to your monitors hz while above the maximum hz,. Unlike vsync, in which if your rates dip below the monitors refresh rate it will significantly lower the fps the adaptive combats this by turning vsync on and off dynamically.
At high framerates, vsync is enabled to eliminate tearing. Gpu titans nvidia and amd have created their own. I have vsync on and now adaptive vsync since i bought a new laptop.
For the smoothest gameplay, vsync is the best option. When calling wglswapintervalext with an interval of 1, i would expect full traditional vsync (not adaptive). Vsync is set to application controlled in the control panel.
Adaptive vsync is a smarter way to render frames using nvidia control panel software. At low frame rates, it's disabled to minimise. Donate to our patreon page:
Currently, this comes in two. Vsync is a feature that tries to ensure your monitor is in sync with your gpu and displays every frame your gpu renders. Adaptive sync is only available to those with.
