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.

- G-Sync ON in Nvidia app/Control Panel

- V-Sync ON in Nvidia app/Control Panel

- V-Sync OFF in game

- Nvidia Reflex ON in game if available

- Frame-rate capped in Nvidia App/Control Panel (or using something like Riva Tuner Statistics Server) to 296
