V-Sync vs Monitor's Refresh Rate.

[Princess Luna]

This is just a wondering I have had a few times, nothing problematic and I do not mind if I don't learn why this happens.

 

So I have a LG 29UM68-P as primary display on my Desktop as many of you should already know, it is a 60hz monitor that through DisplayPort is overclocked to a perfectly stable 80hz through nVidia's control panel, every thing works perfectly fine at 2560x1080p80hz.

 

Now I do have one question on why is it that this happens sometimes, the majority of games I play on this display, usually only first personal shooters as third person games I go for the TV + Gamepad, will run without issue while others will show this specific issue, I do not know why exactly, maybe it is the game's engine?

 

Since I'm playing single player games, campaign games and such the delay does not trouble me at all, so instead of using Fast Sync I more often than not go for the in-game's built V-Sync to handle tearing since it'll reduce my GPU usage, being a GTX 1080 Ti right now I can play games at 2560x1080p80hz max out with still considerable low GPU usage allowing me to keep the FE cooler very silent during gameplay, a win win for me.

 

Now the issue at hand at last, for example, Tomb Raider 2013, Firewatch and Bioshock Infinite are currently installed games I tested on, in-game V-Sync on, i look up to the ShadowPlay FPS counter and 80fps locked, sweet... now, went to try Prey and this has happened before I just don't remember in which game, I turned V-Sync on and...... 60FPS locked? why so? I really am not understanding why is that a few games when V-Sync is on it goes to 60FPS locked instead of the true monitor's refresh rate of 80hz.

 

Any ideas any one?

are the 60Hz games running at a different resolution ? like 1920x1080 instead of the native 2560x1080?

Not really, every thing stays at 2560x1080p just fine

And when you turn Fast Sync on with Prey and turn off V-Sync in game ?
