G-Sync not working

[Marky]

Hey all,

I'm not 100% sure G-Sync is working on my PC. I have the settings enabled for both fullscreen and windowed mode G-Sync, however in two games I've played recently; Metal Gear Solid 5 and Hitman, I'm getting pretty horrific screen tearing.

For both the games, I've enabled V-Sync in the game, and it has fixed the issue - But I thought I had read before that I should be turning V-Sync off in games as I have G-Sync enabled?

I've tried using the "G-Sync Indicator" for both the games, and it says it is enabled - So not really sure why I am getting the screen tearing.

Any ideas? Unless I'm totally mistaken about the functionality of G-Sync/V-Sync?

Thanks,
Marky

Sorry I should have mentioned the monitor - I'm using DP on a 144hz monitor.

I haven't checked the fps honestly
