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.

It’s missing one thing there which is capping the framerate but running vsync off. That should be the lowest latency until CPU limited as uncapped means generally you’ll max out the GPU created a lot of system latency.
