Games That Run Crap with G-Sync?

The only issue I've had at all with G-Sync and its a fairly minor one is that sometimes if a game drops to 0 fps i.e. during a loading screen/busy menu it results in a momentary black screen/flicker - this plagued initial G-Sync drivers but doesn't really happen any more for the most part.
 
Just wondered if anyone had problems with G-Sync and some games not running as it should?
nope,
3 Gsync screens from release
3 different cards
Many different drivers.

only issue i get on occasion is many alt+tabs (50+) can confuse it & it will go over the refresh rate even though v-sync is ON
 
There are games that run crap without Gsync, with Gysnc they liekly still run like crap but hopefully slightly more consistently.
 
No official list from NVIDIA as far as I can see.


Q: Does NVIDIA G-SYNC work for all games?

A: NVIDIA G-SYNC works with all games. However, we have found some games that do not behave well and for those, we recommend that users take advantage of our control panel’s ability to disable G-SYNC per game. Games that NVIDIA discovers that have trouble with G-SYNC will be disabled by default in our driver.

I have also experienced this, mostly with older Paradox games. Modding to run in borderless window full screen, or creating a game profile to switch off gsync solves it, although the latter method sometimes doesn't work as I guess whatever it does to detect the game starting isn't 100% effective in the version of the drivers I use.
 
do you guys find occasional tearing with g-sync on.?
It never happened before but it does now.

Me and a couple friends have been having an issue with certain games locking to 24fps when G-Sync is enabled and the only methods to resolve would be to restart PC or unplug & plug in monitor.

As Subnautica has tearing, I presume it's one of the disabled titles.

I love the FAQ though, ~'G-Sync works on every game except the ones we disable@driver level':p but easily forgivable as G-Sync(and FreeSync) is just soo good in general.:)
