Gsync is damn good.

Guys, how can i set fps limit while using g-sync monitor? For example in games like cs go and menus I will get out of g-sync range, but enabling v-sync is not an option anyway. Nvidia inspector is old and not working with latest drivers.
 
So after all this time i've either fixed G-sync or just got it working better than before.

If i turn off my second monitor (BenQ) it makes most of my games run amazin in Gsync, not so much on controller but on mouse its superb.

No idea what happened lol.

Use Afterburner via the statistics server thing, there's an option to set it to whatever you like.

So today I've had the opportunity to try Gsync for the first time as I have a Acer Predator monitor here for a friends new build.

It is as good as people say it is.

That is all.

I currently have a 1440p 60Hz IPS panel and have been tempted numerous times to give G-Sync a try but I refuse to pay the crazy prices for a 1440p IPS G-Sync device.

Would you deem it worthwhile to have a secondary monitor, say 1080p TN G-Sync for FPS games exclusively?

Yes, that is how I do it, The big AOC on the left for movies and whatever as it's a superior IPS, then a smaller 24" 144Hz on the right for games,

Prior to the big AOC I had a 27" ASUS 1440P PLS panel next to the 24" 144Hz and used it in exactly the same way.

The G2460PG intrigues me....although I'm torn between that and something like the Eizo Foris FG2421 as I'd like the contrast ratio for Elite:Dangerous. Has anyone tried both of these side-by-side?
 
predator x34 led lighting codes?

hi im a little confused with this whole gsync thing
i have turned vsync off in my nvcp.
and i have set my monitor at 100hz it works fine (gcard is a 980TI)
gsync is showing up in my nvcp ok but when i run games my led lights are blue?
now a lot of users are saying when gsync is actually working the led lights go red?
can anyone confirm this
as i honestly cant tell if gsync works or not and ive not had gysnc before
but i used to just run my old panel at 120hz and with vsync off,
if i run games like csgo or tf2, my fps are high like 280 and i have been told
gsync does not work unless you are under 100fps.
but is there an actual way to know your gsync is actually on and doing something?
as i just cant physically tell a diference between this panel and my old panel
when running games?
thanks.

And so the pc build is done and it and the monitor have been collected so back to normal 144Hz I go:(

Highly recommended and was a pleasure to experience during these past couple of days playing games.

I thought you worked for OCUK ? Couldn't they sort you a G-Sync monitor out ?

whilst gsync seems nice, it is shady from nvidia to use propriety tech which happens to double the price of a monitor when freesync tech is available. So personally i have found the cost too hard to justify especially as gsync monitors have very limited inputs as well.

I've tried both G-Sync and Freesync and while for the most part they both do the same job, G-Sync is quite a bit superior in the smoothness and input lag department plus you have the added benefit of Nvidia being able to bring out driver tweaks to improve the experience where as Freesync being an open standard whilst good makes optimization a bit trickier as nothing's locked down as each vendor tends to use a different scaler to implement a different Freesync minimum and maximum range.

Slight over exaggeration as the G-Sync modules add ~£150-200 to the price of a monitor.

I was fully aware of this when buying an Acer X34 GSync over the FreeSync version.

Personally I've found the increased 100Hz range has been more beneficial than the G-Sync on it's own as the games I'm playing GTA V, Witcher 3 are still smooth on my UHD 60Hz monitor even at 45-50 fps. No tearing or stuttering but maybe I've just got my system well configured currently.

Same scene, same settings and obviously the game engine is giving the same fps but with the GSync working you tend to not loose detail (or focus may be a better description) in the background detail as you pan. So yeah it's doing something to help even out the screen draw but it's not night and day as I've already mentioned my 60Hz panel doesn't tear or stutter as it is.

I'm sure there will be times that the GSync will prove it's worth but at the mo I'm appreciating the size and aspsect ratio for browsing, streaming and films as well as gaming.

For me its worth the extra money, it works perfectly. I wish I didn't have a bee in my bonnet over Asus being #### and purchased it on release.

I'm playing GTA V and being able to drop from 95 to 80fps and not notice a thing is great.

Whilst I don't have gsync I do have a 27" 144hz IPS and I struggle to notice or feel drops from 100 FPS to 70 fps in game or on my mouse input at all really.
I do need to try it for myself of course but freesync on my old r290x didn't really feel like it did much either so I'm skeptical I guess.
