VSYNC causing severe lag in games framerate unstable

budget_nerd

finally got my alienware 1070 GSYNC-60Hz

i was playing nfs payback and gta5 and with noticed severe frame drops (40 to 60fps) and lags when vsync ON

when vsync OFF fps over 90fps and no lag but noticeable screen tearing

 

any setting or help??

Does it require setting up first.... (Gsync enabled in Nvidia Control?) prior to actually seeing it in action by default.

go to Nvidia control panel and use Fast sync instead.

first off, Gsync does not help you get a higher framerate. It merely helps 40fps game look as if as they are playing 60fps. GTA 5, despite it old age, is a demanding game but as long as you are not playing on 4k, I don't see how you could dip below 60fps.  

 

3 things may be affecting your fps.

1. higher resolution or high settings <-- most likely scenario

2. Modders/ Cheaters on GTA <-- if there are many users, then your FPS drops. If there are many cheaters, then your fps drops.

This is so because the hackers fiddle with the game engine and your processor is forced to compute more models than they originally planned for that engine. <-- very likely

If you want to test this theory, the FPS on single mode is much higher than the multiplayer

3. thermal throttling <-- get a decent notebook cooler

yes the settings are cranked up to max in gta 5 but with vsync-off framerate is over 90 ans no lag and fps drops

why is this happening with vsync-on (btw cpu and gpu useage were below 50% almost every time with vsync-on)

well if you are positive on what you say is an accurate description then I have no idea. That should not be happening. For now, turn v-sync off and use fast sync as mentioned by jurrunio.
