nVidia G-SYNC vs. AMD FreeSync vs. V-Sync? We measure the system latency!

I could not detect any latency impact from adaptive sync technologies, whether G-SYNC or FreeSync. The rumor that adaptive sync affects latency could be consigned to the realm of fables! If you own a G-SYNC monitor, you have a small advantage over FreeSync or G-SYNC compatible devices. The variable refresh rate starts at 1 Hz. Thus 1:0 for nVidia! We also found that the higher the FPS, the lower the latency, still holds true, but not always. If you send about 300 FPS to a 60 Hz monitor, you will have a much worse latency than an owner of a 144 or 240 Hz monitor. Thus technically also a disadvantage, which one can compensate only with very much Skill – a piece! My personal recommendation: For those who want near-competitive gaming, 144 Hz is the new 60 Hz!
