Does anyone here know how to set up the GW2 graphics settings to make it run perfectly with FreeSync?
I bought a monitor supporting 50-70Hz / FPS. My PC system never really drops below 50 FPS (R9 390 with i7 6770), so having too low FPS shouldn’t be a problem.
I also enabled FreeSync in the AMD Settings and my monitor was detected as supported, I can also run the Windmill FreeSync demo perfectly.
But in GW2 it always has some funny issues here and there, whatever configuration I try. I’m running it in real fullscreen at the native resolution and always have the Frame Limiter turned off (it just trashes the FPS rate and makes the game look horrible).
- Without VSync turned on, I get split frames as if I’m not using FreeSync at all, aka half drawn images, something you experience with normal monitors and no VSync too.
- With VSync, that still seems to be the best configuration, though I’m not sure if that’s a correct setup for FreeSync. I get no more split frames, but shouldn’t the video driver handle the refresh rate? Even more annoying is the fact that if I open the Hero Panel, the FPS sometimes drop to 25 or lower, as if the Hero Panel 3D view of the character causes another main backbuffer flip on which my monitor waits or something…
So if someone runs GW2 with FreeSync, I’d love to know the settings which worked best for him =)
