I wanted to enable "g-sync" (freesync) on my monitor, but when I go into the nvidia control panel I see no option to do it. I have my drivers updated to version 417.71, my monitor's adaptive sync is on, but I can't seem to find anything. All the websites showing you how to do it all have an option to set up g-sync in the display tag. My monitor isn't one of the verified twelve, but I'm still supposed to be able to enable it still. The websites (and I'm pretty sure nvidia) said so. What's happening? If anyone could help I'd appreciate it a lot.

It doesn't have to be certified though, that's whats confusing..

 

My monitor doesn't seem that old, too.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

If you're using that gtx 970 you won't be able to do it anyway.

Ohhhh. I really don't want to move to 10. This PC still has my brother's old stuff on it so I can't change to 10 until then....

You could clone the drive and update if you're just keeping his photos and documents. I've never used 7 or 8(.1) but I love 10 coming from XP and then Linux.

My brother told me I'm ok to change to w10, and he said something about transferring stuff through teamviewer.
