Acer Predator X34A G-Sync issue's

Good Evening,

I brought the following Monitor a few day's ago, i booted up a few game's

Wolfenstein 2
Dying Light
Star Wars BF2 2017

PC Specs
I7-7700k
16GB DDR4
1080TI

When i pay these games i get way over 100 FPS so i have limited them but still getting screen tear, i have also done what people said online about turning on VSYNC in control panel, that does help but i thought the reason for buying a GSYNC monitor was not to use VSYNC

I just want to get other owners opinion on this matter or if this happened to you at all i'm not sure if the unit could be faulty??

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Im using the Alienware AW3418DW and just set Nvidia inspector to limit the frames to 116fps

This keeps it nicely below the 120Hz refresh so go for 96 on your Acer

Thanks for the information I will give this a try, been busy with new years so not had a chance to jump on the pc

doing it wrong.. with gsync

NCP = vsync on

every game you play vsync off in the ingame video settings.. i also take it your monitor is running at 100hz?

I'm not using V-Sync in-game, but you think i should always have it on in NCP?

Is it worth using a limiter or just use VSYNC on in NCP plus G-Sync as the monitor technology?

It's 99% just going to be a settings issue and getting it right imo. You should be ok once you've tried a few things

Indeed it seems that way

Will the V-SYNC on in NCP will that not cause more input lag? as i do like to play fist person shooters as well.
