00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.480
even with some of the over-the-top graphic Solutions out there today that

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:10.200
promise Max sword performance with a price tag to match there's an old

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:15.480
classic problem that has been around for years that still plags Gamers even those

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:20.560
who own top-end equipment screen tearing tearing is what occurs when your screen

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.039
gets fed more than one frame during the

00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.880
time it's refreshing the on-screen image usually torn images only stick around on

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

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.960
large number of popular gaming titles the reason tearing occurs is because PC

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:40.800
video cards especially high performance ones can often Render games at much

00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:46.160
higher frame rates than the ones that monitors run at most LCD monitors today

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:50.760
have refresh rates of 60 HZ which would translate to 60 frames per second so if

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:55.480
your graphics card is pumping out 80 or 90 frames per second you're very likely

00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:59.640
to see screen tearing since the monitor is getting more than one image per

00:00:57.199 --> 00:01:03.519
second in the case of games with very high frame rates is actually even

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:08.119
possible to have more than two partial frames drawn at a time now the most

00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:12.439
common solution to the tearing problem is vertical sync commonly shortened to

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:16.840
vsync it's an option you can find in your graphics control panel or even in

00:01:14.759 --> 00:01:22.600
the graphical settings of many games vsync forces your graphics card to slow

00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:27.520
itself down and deliver frames at a maximum rate equal to your monitor's

00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:31.680
refresh rate again usually 60 FPS but sometimes higher but as we all know game

00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:35.680
games have become much more graphically demanding over the years and

00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:42.040
consistently getting 60 FPS out of your GPU can be a challenge this is where

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.560
vsync falls short if you turn vsync on

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

00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:51.439
per second your monitor will have to wait for your graphics card before

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.600
displaying a new frame which causes stuttering and lag problems that can be

00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:59.039
even more frustrating than screen tearing because of their inherent

00:01:57.039 --> 00:02:03.200
tendency to happen during the most intense game moments with lots of

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:08.239
objects and effects flying around on the screen enter freesync freesync is a

00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:12.280
standard from AMD that promises to eliminate screen tearing without the

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:15.400
stuttering associated with vsync freesync Works through a feature

00:02:13.760 --> 00:02:19.560
included in a recent update to the DisplayPort standard called adaptive

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:23.720
sync adaptive sync takes variable refresh rate technology something that's

00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:27.640
already existed mostly as a power saving measure and allows a monitor and

00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:31.160
Graphics adapter to communicate with each other to synchronize how many

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:35.519
frames per second the graphics card is spitting out and the monitor's refresh

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:40.360
rate so there's always one and exactly one complete frame on screen at a time

00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:45.080
adaptive sync Works between 30 and 144 Hertz so while you're stuck with a

00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:48.159
DisplayPort connection if you want to use variable refresh rate although the

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:52.280
other connections will work in the case of free sync you should see a noticeable

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:57.040
Improvement in both graphically intense and less graphically intense portions of

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

00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:05.159
use free sync you need a compatible Monitor and graphics card compatible

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:11.280
monitors have a DisplayPort revision 1.2a input with optional adaptive sync

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

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:20.560
website for the latest information but Linus you might be saying what about

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

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:29.080
of the same thing although g-sync and freesync do accomplish the same

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:33.760
objective there are some important differences free sync while a

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:38.680
proprietary AMD implementation uses the open adaptive sync standard that can be

00:03:35.959 --> 00:03:43.360
found on third-party scalers A necessary component of any monitor while gsync

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:48.760
Works only through an NVIDIA built scaler module that they sell to monitor

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:53.360
manufacturers so AMD's theory is that thanks to its lower cost freesync will

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:57.680
see much more widespread adoption but inidia seems pretty confident about

00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:02.560
gyn's chances in spite of the higher cost personally I wish we'd just get

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:06.879
along because the main thing for gamers who are shopping to know is that for now

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:10.879
if you want to run variable refresh rate Tech which you should because it's

00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:14.720
awesome a freesync monitor will not do it with an NVIDIA graphics card and a

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:19.600
g-sync monitor will not do it with an AMD graphics card even though they'll

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:25.360
both work normally with tearing with each other speaking of things Gamers

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.360
something where is that keyboard ah I found it MTH drop is

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:34.400
today's sponsor they're currently running a a drop for this set of Galaxy

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:40.120
key caps from keyp fuller.com with a pretty significant discount this is a

00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:42.199
full set so that's a 140 pieces of PBT

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:47.039
