@hazelnot I'm not convinced that frame tearing allows you to experience the game faster than your monitor's refresh rate, it just lets you randomly experience multiple views of the game from different points in time at your monitor's refresh rate. I haven't seen any research on this, so this is speculation on my part.
@hazelnot turn the settings down and leave vsync on, I mean. that will cause the latency between the CPU and GPU to drop if the CPU work is finishing fast enough to do so.
@aeva if I turn the settings down it just generates even more frames instead, and improving cooling is expensive cause I'd need a new case and/or liquid cooling (or a GPU without a goddamn blower fan which is even more expensive) 😔
@hazelnot yes, however strictly speaking you also have the option of "turn the graphical settings down", and if your computer is a desktop PC then you theoretically also have the option of "simply improve your computer's cooling and/or hardware specs by some means"
