Racing Sims on the 17-AN120NR Omen by HP laptop

[khex01]

I am a casual gamer and have always been a huge Nintendo fan with all the Mario and Legend of Zelda titles especially. However, the other type of game genres I especially like are racing and fighting games.  I have Street Fighter V for the PC that I will have to install on this laptop and am very interested to see how it run on this machine.

Anyone know of some really good racing games or sims that I can look for to get that might try and take more advantage of the G-Sync display a little?  What does G-Sync actually do? Is it describeable?

Thanks!!

Hello again @khex01 

In a nutshell, G sync prevents screen tearing in games. It changes the monitor's refresh rate so that it works best with what the graphics card is delivering.

If you haven't already, Google it and read up on several articles and it will make more sense.

I don't play sims, but Forza 4 does have some fantastic graphics. The higher end racing games like Forza wont be playing at really high frame rates like a less graphic intensive game like Overwatch, so they probably wont take advantage of a higher refresh rate monitor like yours.

I will just say this (sorry if it sounds generic)... don't worry about enabling G sync or going into a games settings and capping in-game FPS unless you need to. If you do have tearing or stuttering issues on a certain game, going to their forum and asking about settings will probably get you the best advice.
