Messed up your link <| sep |> i dont skip it but u can if u want <| sep |> If people are confused like I was , there ' s a post on rOutOfTheLoop that explains the drama <| sep |> If you have Vsync on with Freesync , the GPU will stop rendering extra frames if FPS is at the max refresh rate of the panel . It doesn ' t throw anything away , it just waits to start rendering the next frame until the display pulls the framebuffer for the current one . If you have Freesync on , Vsync off , then you will continue to generate frames beyond the max refresh rate limit , so there will be tearing . <| sep |> We don ' t give a shit how actual music works , we just want the game to start already . Do you care if your mechanic uses goldplated tools to fix your car or do you just want it fixed properly and in decent time ?
