Abstract:
Briefly, methods and apparatus to provide image content to, and display image content on, variable refresh rate displays with reduced input lag. The methods and apparatus allow for image tearing, or the displaying of image content from more than one video frame, when the render rate of a provided video frame falls outside the display refresh rate range of a variable refresh rate display when the display is refreshing with a previous frame (e.g. the display is in active refresh), thus reducing the input lag of the content of the provided video frame. The methods and apparatus may also prevent image tearing when the render rate of provided video frames is within the display refresh rate range of a display.

Claim (Index 17):
The non-transitory computer readable medium of  claim 16  comprising executable instructions that when executed cause the IC fabrication system to fabricate the one or more ICs to be operative to:\n determine that the render rate exceeds or is equal to the minimum display refresh rate of the display, wherein a determination that the new frame has not been rendered at the render rate outside of the display refresh rate range of the display while the display is refreshing with the previous frame comprises determining that the render rate exceeds or is equal to the minimum display refresh rate of the display; and \n prevent an image tear by not providing content from the new frame while the display is refreshing with the previous frame when it is determined the new frame has not been rendered at the render rate outside of the display refresh rate range of the display while the display is refreshing with the previous frame.
