![]() ![]() When you’re gaming, different scenarios will require more processing power, and so the GPU will not be able to send the necessary data to your monitor in as quick of a manner. GPUs, however, do not operate at a fixed rate. ![]() Most modern monitors operate with a 60Hz refresh rate, which means that every second they cycle through 60 different images (frames.) This means that over a given period of time, a monitor will show a set number of images (frames) on the screen. Most monitors operate at a fixed refresh rate. And, thousands of those frames played in rapid succession will appear to you as a video or the motion in a game. To you, all of those individual pixels will form a single image (or frame). In computers, the graphics processing unit (GPU) is responsible for sending the necessary data to the monitor that tells the monitor what color to make each individual pixel on its screen. However, before you can understand what VSync is and whether or not you should be turning it on in your games, you should first understand what screen tearing is. VSync (or vertical sync) is a feature that attempts to help your graphics card and monitor to operate at a rate that is conducive to providing smoother gameplay. ![]() If you’ve gone into your favorite game’s graphics settings recently, you may have noticed a featured called VSync with the option to turn it on or off and you may be wondering what it is and whether or not you should turn it on, or leave it off.
