0How to Enable Variable Refresh Rate for Games in Windows 11.
Shuttering and tearing are two problems that many people experience while playing games. This not only kills the interest in the game but makes a game’s frame rate look ugly. Windows 11/10 promises to reduce this by offering an option to enable variable refresh rate under Graphics Settings. See how to customize the Variable Refresh Rate for games in Windows 11/10.
A variable refresh rate (VRR) is the general term for a dynamic display refresh rate that can continuously and seamlessly vary on the fly, on displays that support variable refresh rate technologies. A display supporting a variable refresh rate usually supports a specific range of refresh rates (e.g. 30 Hertz through 144 Hertz). This is called the variable refresh rate range (VRR range). The refresh rate can continuously vary seamlessly anywhere within this range, even as a fraction.
The main purpose of any graphics card is to provide a buttery-smooth experience for gaming. To do this, a graphics card pushes images to your PC screen as fast as it can. However, most devices monitors refresh their image at a set rate. So, when the graphics card delivers frames outside the set schedule, the display screen shows a portion of one frame and the next frame onscreen simultaneously. This makes the image look distorted as it splits in two (Screen Tearing). This phenomenon only worsens with increasing dynamic frame rate of the game.
