g-sync Make sure G-Sync is working

[leet4leet]

Hello everyone! Please help me to solve this

I can not understand whether G-Sync is working or not.

PC SPECS: Ryzen 1600 (OC 4.0Ghz stable), ASUS PRIME B350 PLUS, Corsair RM550x, Thermalright True Spirit 140 Direct, KFA2 HOF DDR4 2x8=16Gb (Overclock 3666Mhz Superstable), SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250gb, MSI GTX1070 Armor 8G (stock), DELL S2417DG (165HZ, G-SYNC)

Most of time i playing only 2 games (CSGO and Quake Champions and its okay), but sometimes i wanna play some solo games like Rise of The Tomb Rider, Doom, GTA5, Wolfenstein etc. And i can't understand wtf is going on. I have G-Sync ON (NVCP), V-Sync forced to ON (NVCP) and V-Sync OFF in-games, any buffers is off in-game tho. In OSD menu (monitor) its says G-Sync Mode, bump a bar which notify G-Sync is ON at left side monitor, no any fps limiter, refresh rate in-game choosen to 165 like in NVCP, native 2560x1440 resolution. And my fps in solo games never exceed my monitor refresh rate (165hz), its basically 75-130fps but games still stuttering and tearing. For example without G-sync and V-sync in games like CSGO or Quake Champions its so damn smooth (fps in this 2 games like 500-600 in CSGO, and 180-200 in Quake)!!!. When deal is going to Solo games, i simply cant see any difference between G-sync on or off. Games just tearing asf like at my older 17 inch 59hz monitor. And i never seen G-sync in action. Also all drivers include chipset, and NVIDIA GPU are latest on the moment. What i am doing wrong???

The only thing i can say surely, its when fps is going near 120 in GTA5 (basically its 100-110) game starting looks smoother (seems like thats how games should looks like when g-sync is WORKING). I heard that memory of this graphics cards is maded on MICRON chips instead of SAMSUNG, and they can stutter, but in this case thats means absolutely nothing.

Please explain if you can. Thank you and sorry for my English : )

You need to turn off v-sync. And next time don't make a wall of text, noboby likes reading those.

 

As you go well over 100fps, you can't really see tearing that much anyway. Hence it appears smoother. But you can't run V-sync and G-sync at the same time.

Fml even after years people still have no clue how the tech works. And they're mad Nvidia is trying to lock it down to make it easier.

That means that G-Sync is ON.

Why? Force it OFF instead, makes no sense to use it as it defeats the whole purpose of G-Sync because any time you bump to 165FPS the V-Sync will kick in and with it a whole whack of extra input lag.

 

 

Stuttering?

Make sure you play in true FULL Screen mode if you have more monitors as G-Sync is funky if you run other monitor on a side and especialy if that monitor has lower refresh rate than your G-Sync monitor.

 

Make sure to disable Fast Startup in Windows 10 as that often interferes with G-Sync and causes stuttering (make sure to restart PC after that).

Disable Game Mode, Game Bar, Game DVR in Windows 10 as well.

 

Use Riva Tuner to limit your max FPS in those games that can easily go over 165Hz (set the limit to something like 160-163FPS as there is small room for error). If the game has in-build FPS limiter, use that instead.

DO NOT USE NVIDIA Inspector to limit your FPS as that adds the same amount of input lag as using V-Sync.

Did everything you said, Updated NVIDIA drivers again (388.13), disable gaming mode, dvr, game bar, xbox etc. Disable Fast StartUp Windows 10 - reboot. disable V-Sync in NVCP and in-games. I do not understand what's going on. Either I overestimate G-Sync or it does not work.

 

For example, GTA 5, my FPS never reaches 165, most often it's 110, very rarely drops to 80 (in areas which alot of trees and brushes u know). And when G-Sync is ON in NVCP for both windowed and fullscreen, I definitely see a blur, a jam/tearing and so on (although in fact the G-Sync should not let it happen). I turned OFF the G-Sync and again started GTA5, and what? The same situation. When my fps near 100 or higher its perfectly smooth, but when it goes lower 100, it starting blurrin/tearing/jamin etc. As I understand it, G-Sync should provide a smooth picture even when your FPS is below the maximum monitor refresh rate (for example, my monitor is 165hz, but the system gives out only 90 fps). But the lower the FPS, the worse the picture is. And the difference in the pictures in the low FPS with the included G-Sync and off - absolutely no.

 

Maybe I'm still overestimating the G-Sync and or just do not understand correctly how it works?

 

Thanks

Then what is the point of the G-Sync if the picture is the same tearing if the game is below 100 fps?
