Enabling G-sync on a zowie XL2720

[Noob-pc-builder]

What I know: CRU can enable freesync on non freesync monitors But needs HDMI, G-sync can be enabled on freesync monitors But needs DisplayPort

My monitor does not have the freesync option and I'm using a DP.
I have added the freesync line manually by editing CTA861 and changed the range limit : Vrate from from 56-144 to 40-144Hz. reset the driver with reset64 after each step. I still can't find setup G-sync on Nvidia control panel. I need your help. Thank you for your time.

I'll be honest I have no idea (you're trying to hack in Gsync support?) but what happens if you just set it to Variable refresh rate - I mean supposedly free synch monitors are compatible? 

 

Spoiler

Even if you don’t own a supported monitor, you’ll probably be able to toggle G-Sync on once you install the latest driver. 

Are you using a dp cable? (it's obligatory) 

 

Edit: ok a bit of research :

 Lacks adaptive sync

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2720 is not compatible with either Nvidia's G-Sync or AMD's Freesync 

So how is that supposed to work, has anyone ever been able to do this? (if yes, then you're probably on the right forum, the people here know a lot of obscure / lesser known 'things'  )

I wish to hack my way in to enable gsync I just want that smooth experience but can't afford the price difference.

Ah, I see, well did you try with a hdmi cable? maybe it's that simple.
