Enabling NULL with V-Sync off improves
latency but sacrifices visual fidelity—you’re
subjected to screen tearing due to the way the
technology works. Conversely, enabling V-Sync
to reduce tearing without G-Sync active greatly
increases latency. Now, however, you can enable
NULL, V-Sync, and G-Sync simultaneously toeliminate screen tearing
and get latency results
on a par with native
game performance with
all those technologies
turned off. Impressive!
Keeping V-Sync and
NULL active with G-Sync
disabled is still faster, but
you’ll still get that nasty
screen tearing.
We haven’t had
time to play around with the new feature
yet, but it sure sounds cool on paper.
Near-native latency without ugly screen
tearing? Yes, please.
The new GeForce drivers and the new
GeForce GTX 1660 Super graphics cards
should both be available now.
