Windows Creators update broke G-Sync?

Hey guys,

 

yesterday my PC updated to the creators update Windows version 1703.

After that I noticed that games now exceed my monitors 144Hz refresh rate, which previously was the cap, although G-Sync is activated in the Control panel. My monitor confirms it with a red power LED instead of a white one.

Anyone got a fix for that? Or just wait for Nvidia to update the driver?

 

BTW I´m on Driver version 381.65.

Try turning G-sync off, then back on again. Failing that, try an uninstall/reinstall of the video driver, even if it seems otherwise fine. Lots of people have had funny things after past major Windows 10 updates.

I will try that, thanks. I also came across the 381.78 hotfix driver which I will give a shot

Well, tried everything with the same results. I might roll back since I have a couple other issues as well now...
