This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable variable refresh rate (VRR) for your account in Windows 11.
Variable refresh rate (VRR) allows a monitor with VRR capabilities, including AMD’s FreeSync, Nvidia’s G-SYNC, and VESA DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync, to automatically adjust its refresh rate based on the frame rate of the image being displayed. The feature enables VRR support for DirectX 11 full screen games that do not support VRR natively.
When variable refresh rate is turned on, you get higher frame rates and helps reduce screen tearing in games that don't support VRR by default.
