Hey so I geeked out when I heard Nvidia announced it would be supporting adaptive sync. I patiently waited for the driver and I installed it, but the option didn't appear in the Nvidia control panel.

I know most monitors are not optimized but the option should still be there according to the tutorials I found.

I run a gtx970 with an AOC G2460PF which is not officially supported but the G2590FX is and I assume the tech inside is very similar.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: the display is connected with DisplayPort

PLSS help!

Does your monitor have an option to activate freesync in the monitor menu? G-Sync only showed up in the control panel for me after I manually activated FreeSnyc on the monitor.

In order for it to work a few things needs to happen,

 

A) You must be using Display Port

 

B) Ensure Adaptive/Freesync is enabled from your monitors menu

 

C) Then G-sync should be there and allow you to enable.

 

D) It is only supported on 10 series cards. I do not think its available in older generations.

apparently it has to do with the display port type, I think, right?

Yeah, you're right. I have some stuff I need to back up, my PC hasn't been wiped in a few years. I think you'll be able to flip your 970, people that are on budgets still look for the 970 since it's still a good 1080p card.

I was curious if anyone might know why my Gsync option disappeared? I had a borked Windows 10 install previously that I have wiped and just did a fresh install of. This fresh install though, the Gsync option is not showing up in my nvidia control panel like it did before. I would have figured a brand new fresh install I would have been good to go....
