Have you tried running G-sync in Full screen mode only?
Also i believe the X34 led light on the front on the monitor can indicate if G-sync is working or not but you need to turn it on in the monitor settings it should under the ambient light setting.

Vsync should be off or set to fast sync if you aren't using a frame limiter in nvsettings. You want vsync off in games. Run games in full screen mode. Gsync enabled in nvsettings. Don't use aco to test as its not well optimised. W3 would be better.
What card did you upgrade from and did you do a clean install?

Can you go into the Gsync section of the Nvidia control panel, click display and enable the Gsync indicator. Launch your games and you should see "Gsync On" in the top left corner if it's working.
I have to say that I have similar issues with stuttering which randomly varies in severity in the Witcher 3 each time I start the game up. I have a Dell S2716DG 144Hz Gsync monitor using a GTX 1080 and 5820K. I think we're in the minority though unfortunately, I still haven't worked out what causes it; maybe a faulty Gsync module/GPU/RAM/game bug that only affects some people.
Most other games seem more well behaved, although I still get occasional bouts of stutter which is extremely annoying.
What card and monitor did you have before and were these games stuttering when you were using them too?

Gsync needs to be on (obviously) but Vsync needs to be turned OFF in game - it can be on in the nvidia menu, but then it definitely needs to be turned off in any in game menus, triple buffering also can be turned off (not sure off the top of my head if it makes any difference as gsync should just ignore it anyway)
Good, that confirms it's on at least. Did these games stutter before you upgraded to this GPU and monitor? What were your previous GPU and monitor?
But did you have stuttering when using a non-Gsync monitor and your old GPU?
I'm trying to determine whether some of the stuttering is due to a problem with the rest of your system as Gsync cannot remove all stuttering only stuttering that would be caused by Vsync or by rapid changes in frame rate. Game engine stutter due to loading game assets or stutter caused by your CPU throttling for example would still be there.
Run a stress test like Aida64 and monitor temperatures and clock speeds: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/ODU5MzM1OGE=
what do i click once the program is open?
That sounds like gsync isn’t working properly and using vsync instead. If all of your settings are right which it appears to than maybe remove your gpu drivers with ddu and reinstall them.
Also you can enable refresh rate display under your monitors settings which will tell you if your screen is actually using gsync.
If gsync is working properly than monitor will display variable refresh rate corresponding to your FPS and if not it will be stuck at your chosen refresh rate.

There is an option that will display current refresh rate in top right corner.
It should be under “OSD” section of your monitors settings.
Click Tools then Stability Test. Start the test and watch temperatures, they should be below 80C and make sure CPU core clock speeds are what expect them to be and they aren't dropping during the test.
