- NVIDIA Adaptive Vertical Sync There is nothing more annoying than playing with the problems of slow or tearing, which respectively occur when the number of frames per second is too low or too high. The vertical synchronization adaptive (Adaptive V-Sync) is the solution. When the number of frames per second, the vertical synchronization eliminates tearing. When the number of frames per second decreases, it prevents any slowdown in the display. Visual artifacts disappear and you can focus on your game! Source:pny.eu
