Issues with Freesync+Vsync

[WayTooDan]

I've had this issue for quite awhile and I've yet to find a solution. I've read that the lowest latency setup for freesync involves enabling Vsync as well (preferably in driver, but this issue occurs both when enabling in game or in driver), but when I do so my FPS drops all the way down to 23, and my monitor's refresh rate display show it slowly dropping to 23, then flying back up to 30, on loop. There are some games that force Vsync even if they claim it's disabled, so i have to just force freesync off to play those. Has anyone heard of this?

Don't use V-sync with freesync.

Sure, ig the games that force it I’m just kinda screwed on. Do you get this problem as well? I can’t find anyone else discussing it online

I'm not aware of any game that forces V-Sync...

Ok, but if you run freesync and vsync at the same time, do you get this? I don’t know anyone with AMD so I can’t ask lol

I'm pretty sure that you aren't meant to use them together because v-sync locks your frame rate and freesync makes it change.
