1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,480
even with some of the over-the-top graphic Solutions out there today that

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,200
promise Max sword performance with a price tag to match there's an old

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:15,480
classic problem that has been around for years that still plags Gamers even those

4
00:00:12,599 --> 00:00:20,560
who own top-end equipment screen tearing tearing is what occurs when your screen

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,039
gets fed more than one frame during the

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,880
time it's refreshing the on-screen image usually torn images only stick around on

7
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:31,320
your screen for a fraction of a second but it's still enough to notice in a

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:35,960
large number of popular gaming titles the reason tearing occurs is because PC

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,800
video cards especially high performance ones can often Render games at much

10
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:46,160
higher frame rates than the ones that monitors run at most LCD monitors today

11
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:50,760
have refresh rates of 60 HZ which would translate to 60 frames per second so if

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:55,480
your graphics card is pumping out 80 or 90 frames per second you're very likely

13
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:59,640
to see screen tearing since the monitor is getting more than one image per

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:03,519
second in the case of games with very high frame rates is actually even

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:08,119
possible to have more than two partial frames drawn at a time now the most

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,439
common solution to the tearing problem is vertical sync commonly shortened to

17
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:16,840
vsync it's an option you can find in your graphics control panel or even in

18
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:22,600
the graphical settings of many games vsync forces your graphics card to slow

19
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:27,520
itself down and deliver frames at a maximum rate equal to your monitor's

20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:31,680
refresh rate again usually 60 FPS but sometimes higher but as we all know game

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,680
games have become much more graphically demanding over the years and

22
00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:42,040
consistently getting 60 FPS out of your GPU can be a challenge this is where

23
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,560
vsync falls short if you turn vsync on

24
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,479
and are playing through part of a game where your GPU can't pump out 60 frames

25
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:51,439
per second your monitor will have to wait for your graphics card before

26
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:55,600
displaying a new frame which causes stuttering and lag problems that can be

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,039
even more frustrating than screen tearing because of their inherent

28
00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:03,200
tendency to happen during the most intense game moments with lots of

29
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:08,239
objects and effects flying around on the screen enter freesync freesync is a

30
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:12,280
standard from AMD that promises to eliminate screen tearing without the

31
00:02:10,239 --> 00:02:15,400
stuttering associated with vsync freesync Works through a feature

32
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,560
included in a recent update to the DisplayPort standard called adaptive

33
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,720
sync adaptive sync takes variable refresh rate technology something that's

34
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:27,640
already existed mostly as a power saving measure and allows a monitor and

35
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:31,160
Graphics adapter to communicate with each other to synchronize how many

36
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,519
frames per second the graphics card is spitting out and the monitor's refresh

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:40,360
rate so there's always one and exactly one complete frame on screen at a time

38
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,080
adaptive sync Works between 30 and 144 Hertz so while you're stuck with a

39
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,159
DisplayPort connection if you want to use variable refresh rate although the

40
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:52,280
other connections will work in the case of free sync you should see a noticeable

41
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:57,040
Improvement in both graphically intense and less graphically intense portions of

42
00:02:54,280 --> 00:03:00,560
your games with no tearing visible so how do you get it you might ask well to

43
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:05,159
use free sync you need a compatible Monitor and graphics card compatible

44
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:11,280
monitors have a DisplayPort revision 1.2a input with optional adaptive sync

45
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:15,599
support in the firmware then on the GPU side you can consult the FAQ on AMD's

46
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:20,560
website for the latest information but Linus you might be saying what about

47
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:25,239
NVIDIA's g-sync hadn't they beaten AMD to the punch isn't free sync just kind

48
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:29,080
of the same thing although g-sync and freesync do accomplish the same

49
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,760
objective there are some important differences free sync while a

50
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:38,680
proprietary AMD implementation uses the open adaptive sync standard that can be

51
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:43,360
found on third-party scalers A necessary component of any monitor while gsync

52
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Works only through an NVIDIA built scaler module that they sell to monitor

53
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:53,360
manufacturers so AMD's theory is that thanks to its lower cost freesync will

54
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,680
see much more widespread adoption but inidia seems pretty confident about

55
00:03:55,319 --> 00:04:02,560
gyn's chances in spite of the higher cost personally I wish we'd just get

56
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:06,879
along because the main thing for gamers who are shopping to know is that for now

57
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,879
if you want to run variable refresh rate Tech which you should because it's

58
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:14,720
awesome a freesync monitor will not do it with an NVIDIA graphics card and a

59
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:19,600
g-sync monitor will not do it with an AMD graphics card even though they'll

60
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,360
both work normally with tearing with each other speaking of things Gamers

61
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,360
something where is that keyboard ah I found it MTH drop is

62
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,400
today's sponsor they're currently running a a drop for this set of Galaxy

63
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:40,120
key caps from keyp fuller.com with a pretty significant discount this is a

64
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,199
full set so that's a 140 pieces of PBT

65
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:47,039
