What is vSync?
“vSync”, which created by combining the words “vertical” and “synchronization” in English, means “vertical synchronization”. The term “vertical” in its name comes from the fact that it prevents the distortions that usually occur in vertical objects in games. Synchronization, on the other hand, avoids the image distortion that occurs by ensuring that the monitor and the graphics card operate in a synchronized manner.
The image above is a very good example of image tearing. Especially in high-tempo games, these distortions that occur instantly while moving or looking around affect the game experience terribly.
What Causes Screen Tears?
While gaming, data is continuously exchanged between the graphics card and the monitor. The graphics card sends the images it generates to the monitor in “x frames per second” format. The monitor displays the number of frames per second (FPS) at whatever Hz the refresh rate is. If the FPS of the image sent from the graphics card to the monitor is higher than the refresh rate of the monitor, the screen tears occur.
After Disable vSync in Fallout 76 Let’s Care About Laggy Mouse
You’ll also need to disable the Mouse Acceleration once you’ve taken care of Vsync. To do this you must create a text file in C:\Users\[account name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76 called “Fallout76Custom.ini.” After the file has been developed, add a line that says [Controls] and add bMouseAcceleration = 0 underneath.
