March 9, 20215 yr I had read earlier that MSFS2020 wasn’t actually true full screen, but actually a borderless window. For the purposes of G-Sync, is the graphics option in the sim for “Full Screen” actually full screen, or do I need to leave the G-Sync setting on “enable for windowed and full screen” in the nVidia control panel?
March 9, 20215 yr You are quite correct. It is running in borderless window mode. I don't know the technicalities of it as I am not lucky enough (or probably rich enough) to have a lovely G-Sync display. However, a few of the guys seem to run it alright. @Ianrivaldosmith knows what he is talking about and may be able to give you some guidance on it. Hopefully he will pop into the thread to offer some advice. If he mentions his RTX 3090, just ignore that bit! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

It is possible latest WDM is able to make a full screen border less window "behaving" as if it was a full screen exclusive window for which "full screen only" would suffice, but in doubt...

A borderless window taking up all the screen, that kind of is full screen. 🤣 Edited March 9, 20215 yr by Chock Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

Oh boy, so now the recommendation is to set v-sync to “fast” instead of “on” in nVidia control panel. I can’t keep up with the moving goal posts.

It's actual full screen since UK update. GSync kicks in even if disabled for windowed mode. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

I can check the refresh rate in the monitor OSD and it changes several times per second. And of course because of the flickering when there are stutters... but that's a monitor "feature", not MSFS fault. I use 100% VR in these days anyway. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber
March 11, 20215 yr From my limited understanding on the matter, the game used flip sequential. Now it uses lip discard. Which mimics true full screen. Hence why G-Sync now works without windowed mode selected. You can check that G-Sync is running or not, because the monitors HZ should match your FPS. To verify whether G-SYNC is enabled for your game, click Display from the NVIDIA Control Panel menu bar, then select Show indicator for G-SYNC. The indicator will appear on your screen to let you know whether G-SYNC is turned on.
