The Evil Within DEMO - GSYNC does not work?

[wunkley]

I know this game is a cluster****, but I downloaded the demo today to give it a whirl. No way I would part with cash so far...

The performance as expected is appalling on 780Ti SLI (SLI not working, but that's another story I guess)

The thing really annoying me is - Using the Asus Rog Swift - Gsync does not even work! This is the ONLY game I have encountered this problem on.

Running in full screen mode, everything as it should be. Is the game really that much of a mess that it doesn't even work with Gsync???

Enabling vsync in a game does not knock out gsync. Nor does using a frame rate limiter such as bandicam or dxtory in my experience. Gsync overrides anything at a driver level, as long as the application is running full screen.

Since getting the swift I've tested every game I've got pretty much, and gsync just works, if the game is in full screen mode. There is no two ways about it.

This game/ demo has a full screen option in the graphics menu. It's enabled, so why is gsync not running with it?

Any other actual gsync monitor owners chip in please...

the problem is like every game based on id tech 5 it does not run in true full screen mode. more like a full screen window.

Didn't know that so that would explain it. Thanks for that bud.

As long as I know it's the ****** game and not my monitor/gsync at fault that's good enough for me. It does say "full screen" though in the options. Shoddy stuff.
