**Nvidia G-Sync owners thread**

Does anyone notice any micro lag spikes on some games if the FPS dips to quickly? The most noticeable offender for me is World of Warcraft.

The garrison in particular ( Alliance ) due to all the sheer amounts of shadows. I can happily plod about and I get a freeze on screen for a split second and notice the fps dipped from 140+ to 58.

If I then play in Windowed Fullscreen mode that disables G-Sync I never get those split second pauses.

WOW is very CPU dependant (+ badly optimized) that's probably why you feel that lag even on a Gsync.

It certainly is, I find that even on a recording the lag spike is present.

I really hope they move to DX12, and Vulkan as even in a 30man raid it only uses 15% of my primary core. :(

Although when it doesn't spike G-Sync feels amazing. I'll need to try some more games I think.
 
I'm getting some seemingly random episodes where Gsync switches off and sli performance drops to around 60% on each card. If I quit the game then start again, it all goes back to normal.

Anyone else seeing this? I'm using the latest driver.

Gsync reverts to Vsync when it hits the monitor's refresh rate. Set a frame cap of 1fps lower than your refresh rate to ensure that Gsync is always working away.

I think this is the single most important point when using G-Sync, running afterburner to set the maximum fps just below the refresh rate utterly transforms the whole experience.

This. It was only when I asked in this thread that I realised you need to do this to prevent vsync from kicking in. I've got GTA V running super smooth capped just under 60 with no mouse lag or anything, it's fantastic. For other games like BF4 I'm utilising ULMB/120hz as the fps sits around the 100 mark anyway so gsync isn't really coming in to play.
 
Pre ordered the Acer XB270HU, ETA keeps jumping back/forward at the moment :(

When it finally does arrive what do you need to be setting, read various bits in this thread but wondered does anyone have a definitive list? Got 2 780tis

Cheers :)
 
I have never capped my frames and never had an issue. Frame monitoring see's my frames sitting at 143.5 mind, so it is naturally capped at 0.5fps under. Maybe it was early teething problems?
