980GTX, CPU 2600k, g-sync monitor is XB270HU. G-sync seems to be very hit and miss. Only rec'd my monitor a couple of days ago... On the latest driver 358.50 Win7 64-bit. System & O/S in great shape. Everything was running very nicely on my U2412 60hz 1920x 1200 panel.
Recently rec'd my new G-sync monitor - I have it set in the XB270HU panel set to 144mhz, the gsync driver enabled in the settings
IN nVidia CP - Vertical Sync - set to application setting.
But i'm not happy with the way things are going.
Example games
COD BLOP2 2 - the best so far.... Sometimes runs at 130fps locked, perfectly smooth, sometimes its at 80fps with stutter.
COD MW - whilst smooth runs locked at 60fps, though in the settings i have the monitor set to 144hz and variable refresh rate
MotoGP15 - sometimes stutters - sometimes doesn't, tried every setting under the sun, can't narrow it down. Replays and pausing the game silky smooth, but playing the game the track stutters here and there. FPS seems locked at 60fps. Again in the game settings i've tried enabling vsync and disabling. One time it may be better and another time worse with the option enabled.
BTW using FRAPS is confirming these frame rates... Also have g-sync on overlay, enabled in the nVidia control panel, during my testing.
Grid Autosport - 60fps seems locked even with vsync off in game, regardless of the fact i have the refresh rate in settings set to 144hz
GTA V - seems to run at 50-60fps ish with stutter. though i swear that game was better before i upgraded the driver.
SFIV Ultra - Benchmarks at around 210fps (moves too fast to tell of any tear) During game play, if vsync off, screen tear is present.. runs at 60fps, with vsync on, runs at 55fps and no screen tear.
Why did i just spend $750+ on this 144mhz panel ? if i'm just getting 60hz gaming other than BLOPS2 ?
Anyone have any idea what's going on here ?
I don't know, screen runs perfect in Windows... Games its like hit and miss, me questioning if its stuttering.. TBH this is no better than the occasional stutter that v-sync use to give.. I don't know if my gsync module on my new monitor is faulty or the latest driver is at fault... I was expecting a variable frame rate with perfect smoothness, providing it stayed over 50fps ish... But that's far from the case.. Seems every game has an issue here or there with some bad stutter.
Running blurbusters, in the browser, the screens locks at 144hz and the UFO is perfectly smooth.
The nVidia pendulum demo is working perfect ! as in, i can whack the max fps to 144, and its variable between 60fps to 144fps with no tear or no stutter whatsoever.. Basically as i'd expect gsync to work.... So i know its working sorta !! But i didn't drop this much money to watch a pendulum swing smoothly.
Anyone else got gsync and running fraps ? what results are you getting ?
