Hey guys i wonder even with G-Sync and 144hz refresh rate my 1080p monitor and 780 ti, while i gaming i dont see that incredible smoothness like the 60 fps videos recorded on youtube.
Yes it is way better than 60 hz monitors and no G-Sync no doubt but... Youtube videos are another Whole level.
Sure there is something i dont know.
What should have or what to get for that beautiful smoothness of the youtube video?
Somebody can be kind and explain why to me ?
Thanks !
Running your monitor at 60Hz and locking your vsync to the refresh rate while gaming will feel just as smooth as that YouTube video just as long as there are no dropped frames. You can check for dropped frames by running a frame rate measurement tool such as Fraps. Get it free from
www.fraps.com. With your graphics card and an old game it will be a piece of cake to achieve this. Doing this at 120Hz or 144Hz will look a lot smoother still and will feel significantly less laggy too.
Finally, to get
real smoothness from an LCD monitor, you need to have a strobing backlight, which eliminates motion blur - the bane of all LCD displays otherwise - and makes them perform as well with motion as the old CRT which looks amazing. Depending on the model however, the strobe may only work at 120Hz, such as with my Asus.
I've heard a lot of good things about G-Sync and adaptive sync in general, but I've never seen it in action first hand so I can't tell you how it compares to a good 120Hz zero dropped frames + strobe experience.
Good point. It's also why many movies are shot at 24FPS and it looks just fine to most people.
Saw Project Almanac yesterday at the cinema which unapolagetically showed up the serious limitations of 24fps frame doubled to 48fps for display. There were a lot of sudden movements and camera shake in the film due to the first person "amateur" filming style which revealed this so startlingly.
Basically, judder/strobing was extremely evident, seriously reducing clarity for fast movement making the picture look a mess, which reduced the enjoyment of the movie for me a little bit. Many movies are shot to minimise the impact of this judder, but I'm glad this movie didn't as it makes a very good case for high frame rate cinema.
Good film btw.
Be sure to look at this great website that's all about blur elimination:

EDIT
Your monitor supports LightBoost, but NVIDIA doesn't allow you to enable it in 2D mode which is critical for that super-smoothness I was talking about.
Free utility Strobelight Beta below does a little hack to get around this and is invaluable. Note that some other monitor brands eg BenQ make a generic strobing backlight that isn't tied to NVIDIA and therefore don't have this restriction.
