However, I tested my PC on this monitor and in GZ DOOM (Vulkan renderer) the FreeSync seems to only kick in at 51-74 fps caps usually on this monitor and sometimes its FreeSync will kick in at 49 fps cap but that's a hit and miss. Is basic FreeSync, especially from a low-end monitor, working as it should? Should it always kick in at its advertised FreeSync range meaning on this monitor I should see no tearing or juddering at a constant 48 fps to a constant 75 fps assuming the frame rate stays between 48 and 75 fps even with VSync disabled? Also I read on the internet that if you want to use VRR, it is recommend to cap the frame rate around 3 Hz below the refresh rate. I'm not sure if this advice applies to the bottom spectrum of the VRR range as well but in the reverse...\n\nRead more",
