I never understood why people would want tearing. It's such a bad experience.

Competitive games, usually. It is supposed to provide lower latency.

I agree tearing sucks though and I wouldn't go back to it.

If you dont have VRR, its the only way to get acceptable latency for competitive games.

It's very easy actually. If you competitively game on a normie display, you get to pick from either tearing or bad latency.

Any signs of Nvidia implementing this?
