    [FIXED] G-SYNC works in windowed mode even disabled and causes stuttering/flickering


    UPDATE: user jorimt on blurbusters forum helped me to find a solution.https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5157I've run into a problem when mouse cursor stutters and monitor flickers monitor frequency drops when non-smooth animation is playing in some windows applications. G-sync should not work in windowed applications if it is turned off in NVCP. But in my case even G-sync indicator appears in the corner of active window during those stutters. It somehow works and causes those stutters in many non-fullscreen applications.Of course completely disabling G-SYNC in NVCP fixes th

    Windowed Mode G-Sync problem

    I seem to have an issue with Windows 10 Windowed Mode and G-Sync with any game that runs above the screen refresh rate and it's really beginning to bug me.

    Something in the Borderless Windowed mode seems to bypass any configuration I make and caps me at the refresh rate with G-Sync enabled. If I then switch to Fullscreen mode mid game with G-Sync still enabled the fps unlocks and sets itself much higher than the 143 forced setting.

    I have tried both G-Sync and V-Sync options alone or together with the same outcome 143 frames. If I then go ahead and disable G-Sync for windowed and fullscreen mode and load the game in windowed mode the fps is uncapped, I don't understand it :/. G-Sync is not supposed to cap the frame rate at the refresh rate.

    How do I fix this with Windowed Mode? I recently switched to a dual monitor set up so windowed mode would be great if I could fix this problem.

    G-Sync is Dead. VESA Adds Adaptive-Sync to DisplayPort Standard

    Time to petition Nvidia then.

    G-Sync also disable the audio pass-through in DisplayPort.

    G-Sync is Dead. VESA Adds Adaptive-Sync to DisplayPort Standard

    If you're running things in a window, then the usefulness of adaptive sync is questionable. The only reason you would run a program in windowed mode would be if you cared about the content of more than one window; however, each window will be rendering/refreshing at different rates. If you software synchronizes to one window with a variable refresh rate, then every other window's cadence looks even worse than with a fixed refresh rate. For example if you're trying to display a video and a 3D rendering, then focusing upon the 3D rendering will cause the video to become a stuttering mess. The highest fixed refresh rate that a monitor can display will be the best compromise for a multiple window environment.
