- [G-SYNC reduces input lag for fixed refresh rates too (emulators, etc.)](https://blurbusters.com/reduce-emulator-input-lag/) - It is observed NVIDIA G-SYNC is also useful for low-latency fixed refresh rate applications as well: It accelerates frame delivery from GPU to monitor: Frames are delivered from GPU to monitor in 1/144sec instead of 1/60sec when running at 60Hz! Low-lag fixed-refresh-rate G-SYNC has uses for emulators and other applications that requires a fixed refresh rate
