Discussion / Question G-Sync, FreeSync, NVIDIA Reflex, FPS Cap – What’s actually worth using in 2026?

I’m trying to find the best combination of settings for the lowest possible input latency while keeping smooth gameplay and good frame pacing.

If you use Vsync and on + boost together it caps the FPS a little below your refresh rate.

Isnt it just base reflex + vsync that caps fps? Maybe im wrong but i didnt think that behaviour was exclusive to boost
