No g-sync option

[friendly neighborino]

Hi all,

 

Got the ACER x270hu(144hrz ips g-sync) monitor and having a little trouble getting g-sync to work, In nvidia control panel I have the option "set up G-SYNC"  and I have it enabled but under "manage 3D settings" I go to "vertical sync" and I can only chose off or on but I think there should be a g-sync option there also by default or recommended.

So not sure what is really going on here but tried un-installing and re-installing drivers clean and nothing still, ULMB is off and G-SYNC mode is on within the monitor options its self.

 

Anyone have any idea why this is?

Are you using the display port?

No, that's how they manage it now. If you want the FPS to be capped to your refresh rate, enable VSync, if not, Disable it. 

 

I would advise enabling it, so that GSync doesn't turn off if you go above your refresh rate

@friendly neighborino You should follow your threads.

I was under the impression that you turn off v-sync to allow g-sync to work?

The old drivers had it in there but the new ones separated it so you can control V-sync independently outside of the G-sync range.

It used to be that way, but recent drivers changed the options. 

 

When GSync is enabled, VSync does not activate. However, you can disable GSync in individual games if it does not work properly. The new options allow you to enable VSync, while GSync is off for that game. 

 

This is what your options should look like:

Not anymore. After enabling gsync you can manage it with the "monitor technology" setting under manage 3d settings.

So pretty much turn g-sync on and v-sync also together?
