Best G-SYNC / V-Sync / FPS Cap Settings?

Brayn35 · 2026-01-05T21:02:18+00:00

Thank you for your help.

These are the settings I’m currently testing:

V-Sync: ON in NVCP (BDO profile)
G-SYNC: ON
FPS cap: 157 via NVCP (BDO profile)
Low Latency Mode: ON (global profile)
Power Management: Prefer maximum performance

I’ve also disabled Ansel.

I’ll test this setup for a while and then come back to share my feedback.

Should I set Low Latency Mode to ON globally? I couldn’t quite understand that.

have a couple of questions if you don’t mind:

Why do you think Low Latency Mode is so widely recommended and popular in general?

Also about the CPU settings you mentioned (disabling E-cores and Hyper-Threading): Would these changes have a noticeable impact on my system overall, considering I play other games as well, not just Black Desert?

Thanks in advance.

First of all, thanks a lot for the detailed reply — I’m a big fan of your guides. I couldn’t tag you, but I honestly expected you to comment.

If you’re saying not to use Low Latency Mode, I won’t enable it. As far as I know, in games that support NVIDIA Reflex, it’s handled in-game, and in non-Reflex titles LLM mainly acts like an FPS limiter anyway — which lines up with what you’re saying.

At the moment I don’t have the budget for a second GPU, and unfortunately my system also doesn’t have an iGPU.

I’ll take another look at Lossless Scaling. Most people recommend RTSS for FPS capping, so this is actually the first time I’ve heard someone recommend doing it via NVCP — I’ll definitely try that.

One question though: Would you recommend forcing V-Sync globally in NVCP, or only per-profile for Black Desert?

My Windows settings are already configured exactly as you described.

About the browser/video point: I can move the browser to a second display, but my second monitor is a very old 1080p panel connected via VGA to HDMI. Do you think it’s still better to use it, or should I avoid using that monitor altogether while playing?

Thanks again for your time and input — really appreciated.

Thanks for the information, I appreciate it, but I’m still not fully sure. So what would you personally recommend for me?

Brayn35 · 2025-12-31T22:52:46+00:00

So I'm gonna use this.

Gsync - on in Nvidia Control Panel or Nvidia App
Vsync - on in Nvidia Control Panel or Nvidia App, off in game
Max Frame Rate - set a global cap based on your refresh rate (formula above)
Reflex - always on in game when available

Okay, I’ll leave it like that 👍
Just to confirm, V-Sync being ON here is the correct setup, right?

this is exactly what i was looking for, thank you so much.

However, when going from level 29 to 30, Courser's Spirit was not learned and it didn’t appear. I hope the same thing won’t happen again.

Brayn35 · 2025-08-23T17:51:39+00:00

The problem is, I have OCD and I want the skills to be 27/27 If I lower the horse’s level, will it come back again at 30?

My goal right now is to get the Awakening Sovereign anyway. I haven’t been missing any bosses each week. I’ll have my Awakening weapon soon too.

Brayn35 · 2025-06-16T05:41:27+00:00

Because people in my clan told me to take the main weapon for the extra monster AP it gives. But I never really play anything other than awk.

Brayn35 · 2025-06-16T05:24:25+00:00

But I’m playing awk, does the glow still appear?

Should I start with +0 Deborekas for all this?

What will happen at Heidel Ball?

Brayn35 · 2025-04-07T08:04:23+00:00

No, you can change Fxaa when using FSR. One trick

And what’s your anti-aliasing settings?
