Go to solution Solved by Minsekt,

vsync is enabled by default if youre using gsync. since.. like a year. you dont have to disable vsync anymore. look it up. if youre below 144fps vsync is automaticly disabled even if youve set it to enabled. the setting now only kicks in if youre reaching more than 144fps. if youre going over 144 vsync enables itself to reduce tearing, if you dont want that in csgo disable it on the advanced tab in NVCP for that specific program/game. dont edit the global settings as you dont need to. the times where vsync had to be disabled to use gsync are long gone, i believe they changed it somewhere july 2015

Hi there,

two days ago there was an update for Nvidia GPU drivers, called number 364.72 and from what I observed it seems to lock any game at its V-Synced framerate, in my case 144Hz.

I noticed it in CS:GO (especially annoying here) and some other games where framerate in the menu doesnt go over 144 anymore.

V-Sync is turned off since I have G-Sync.

 

Any tipps to solve that?

Is v-sync disabled in game and in the NVidia Panel?

 

There is still a V-sync option in the panel, as well as G-sync, Nvidia reworked it a little, v-sync + gsync will gsync to the limit of the monitor and limit extra FPS to the monitors refresh, so in your case, 144hz.

 

It has been like this for a few driver releases now

Disabled ingame, enabled in control panel since G-Sync requires it, if I remember correctly...

Correct me if I'm wrong...
