Help with 57" Odyssey G9 Neo(Screen tearing when gaming in PBP)

SpookyCitrus · March 19

Hello everyone, got my 57" Neo G9 and one major flaw I'm running into is that it doesn't support VRR in PBP mode. Just wondering if anyone that has experience with these monitors or similar ones has settings or recommendations to make it a smoother experience when gaming in PBP mode? In most cases I play in native 7680x2160(32:9) so G-Sync takes over, however, with some games(ones that don't support the full native resolution or ones such as Tarkov that I play with my teammates discord streams up) I play in PBP mode. It's fine for media consumption and multitasking with work and such but some games I do like to/or have to play in a 16:9 aspect ratio. I've been looking all over online and can't really find information, I've figured that maybe when in PBP I should just enable V-Sync in Nvidia control panel, however, V-Sync is just bleh. Is it really just V-Sync or playing in Windowed mode(in native res) with G-Sync set to Windowed and Fullscreen?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

PBP mode doesn't support VRR, which you already know. So the only way you can get rid of tearing is by using V-Sync and ensuring the game's FPS is reliably running at the display's refresh rate. If the game doesn't run at 240 Hz, you will have to need to turn down the monitor refresh rate to 60 Hz for example and use V-Sync.

Or, like you said, G-Sync in windowed mode and run the game in windowed.

That's just one example why I'm personally not a fan of these super-ultrawide monitors. A classic 2 monitor setup just works better for these situations.
