G-Sync with Fast Sync?

[RichardH754]

Anyone using G-sync with Fast Sync selected?

 

[JediFragger]

Yup, good combo

Yep and works well for me. One thing I have noticed though is that every time I restart my computer, I then have to go back into the NCP and turn FastSync back on, as it reverts to G-Sync only. Proper annoying, as the NCP takes an age to open as well

where is the option for fast sync? or is only on selected monitors?

Only Pascal cards I believe

I read online people using it with 7 series and above

Yes, why is Nvidia Geforce Experience taking so long to open now??

No idea. I always thought it was down to my system having so much crap on it but a clean OS and still takes an age. I did read somewhere it is to do with Windows UAC but not bothered looking into it much but as I like the fastsync option and need to re-do that every time I restart the PC, I might well have to

Couldn't find it in my driver, then I saw this

Guess I need Nvidia inspector first

hi guys, I've got a 1080 however can't seem to find the FastSync option in the NVCP.

Hmm is G-Sync bugged or even intentionally sabotaged to make more of Fast Sync? ever since the drivers where V-Sync defaults to on it now tends to try and limit to the V-Sync framerate multipliers (which kind of defaults the purpose) unless you either disable V-Sync (and maybe use a framerate cap) or enable fast sync :| previously G-Sync on with V-Sync on would just limit to the screen refresh with the monitor adapting refresh rate to the framerate properly.

I haven't tried FastSync with G-Sync yet, but I can see how it would be useful in something like CS:GO if it reduces input lag while the FPS is above the refresh rate.

I've noticed on mine that the Monitor sometimes forgets that it can do G-Sync and needs a restart to jog its memory. That usually happens if I leave the PC on for a while and the monitor turns off, and I hear random noises from the speakers which should like some piece of hardware has disconnected and reconnected, then that notification noise, but I've never been quick enough to catch what the notification was before it disappears

I've noticed this for a while, even with an SSD it takes ages to do various actions. It could just be that it needs optimising because it's based on old software. Just look at the icons at the top, looks like early days of Windows XP
