G Sync On Laptop

I have a ROG GL502VM gaming laptop. When I received it i learned it had G sync which i completely overlooked. After trying to use it in GTA V, i found it wasnt really helping and just shut it off and used V Sync. Later learning what G sync was supposed to do, i tried it again and still no luck. With V sync i got pretty much a 60fps lock with it only dipping to 58fps somehow. Then just right now i decided id try it again and still no luck. Plus now i cant seem to get the settings i had when it seemed to be locked at 60fps with V sync. Is there something im doing wrong? Even when i turn on G sync and turn off V sync in GTA V, I still get dips into the 30s and screen tearing. (Had posted this in displays the other day and got no response, if needs to be merged, that is fine, as long as i can get some direction, thanks)

I know Linus did a video comparing g sync and free sync and iirc it indicated g sync is supposed to be used with v sync on, that's all I got to offer here, sorry I'm not much help

Yeah, I haven't even messed with it since then. I keep getting frustrated and cant seem to find anything that works right. I have it enabled but its still tearing. The only thing i can seem to get to not tear is disable it and use v sync. Which limits me at 60fps :(
