I have a monitor that can go 100hz or 60hz @ 3440x1440. Which is the best to use?

For this sim at the moment I surgest you set your sreen to 60Hz, and in sim, set V-Sync on and the setting 30 FPS.

My monitor have the same specs as yours, I run it with a GTX 1080Ti and my NCP settings are as follows: 100Hz, Output dynamic range Full, Output color depth 10bpc, Set up G-SYNC Enable G-SYNC Compatible: ticked and Enable for windowed and full screen mode also ticked, Enable settings for the selected display model: ticked.

P3d Program Settings: FXAA off, CUDA - GPUs All, Low Latency Mode Ultra, Monitor Technology G-SYNC Compatible, OpenGL rendering GPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Power management mode Prefer maximum performance, Prefered refresh rate Highest available, Shader Cache off, Texture filtering Allow, texture filtering - Quality Hugh Performance (I used to have it in High quality but I compared screenshots with both and I can't see a difference).Last, Vertical sync, it is not recommended to set it to on but this is the only option that doesn't give me tearing when fps goes tp30or below (which very rarely does)

P3d settings: target frame rate to unlimited, variable refresh rate: ticked

Windows display graphic settings: Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling: ON    Variable refresh rate ON

The truth is, that comparing to setting monitor to 30Hz (if your monitor supports it)  and limiting frames in NCP that gives almost no stutters, the fluidity of my settings (I use Track IR) is amazing, yes I have a few stutters but I can live with them if I have such fluid sim. To be more clear, I can't stand Track IR at 30 fps.

Enabling G-SYNC Compatible will only do him any good if his monitor is actually listed as G-SYNC Compatible and also if his system can maintain at least the minimum HZ that is supported by your monitor. G-SYNC Compatible monitors are good for FPS and higher frame rate games, where it's easy to maintain 60fps. For P3d where we can regularly see much lower fps than what your monitor supports, any G-Sync Compatibility becomes useless. 

Thanks for the help. My monitor is Freesync but I have read where if using a Nvidia card which I have the 3070 OC, can take advantage of Gsync.

I just despair sometimes. Is this the P3D forum?

Freesync is for AMD cards not Nvidia. 

Giving full P3D setting, breath taking. Its the MSFS 2020 forum. 

As for TrackIR, if you it at 30FPS is will be bad. But TrackIR works of 120Hz, so if you V-Sync your screen within MSFS and use the in sim locked 30FPS (its not 30 FPS BTW its 1/2 refreash rate, yes it does mean your running 30 FPS in the case) So you, set your screen like I said to 60Hz then TrackIR is very smooth becasue the V-Sync is working with the 120Hz TrackIR wants. Without the MSFS Built in V-Sync TrackIR is bad at just locked 30 FPS.

My Screen a G7 has G-Sync but its not a full G-Sync just compatable and thats a huge diffrence, G-Sync for me would not kick in to I can get 68FPS.

So read by first reply and try that.

Which is where enabling the Gsync compatible part is important.. That is a part of how you will get some aspects of Gsync to work on Freesync monitors.

G-SYNC Enable G-SYNC Compatible: ticked and Enable for windowed and full screen mode also ticked, Enable settings for the selected display model: ticked.

 

The underlined is the relevant part if you have a freesync monitor and a Nvidia Graphics card. (Also make sure Freesync is enabled in the monitor settings).

Its not going to be 100% Gsync but you will get pretty much the frame pacing that you are looking for if your monitor supports it.

Ok will do, and yes I have freesync enabled...

Where is? Enable settings for the selected display model: ticked.

If your computer can handle the game at 50 fps, use 100 hz and in game V-sync at 30, if not use 60 hz with V-sync 30, V-sync 30 in game works as adaptive V-sync and will half your monitors refresh rate.

Or you could run at 100Hz and in the sim V-Sync ON and  20FPS its not 20 FPS its 1/3 refreash rate so it would give you 33 FPS.

OMG David.

Thank you!!!

You have just revolutionised the whole look and feel of my sim!

I had Track IR and unlimited frames and it was good but now - interpolating your advice here for my set-up -  I have set my monitor to 120 hz and in sim FPS to 60 and V-Sync on and the sim has come alive amazingly.

A thousand thank yous!

Thank you for the taking the time to post. You have just has made my day also. I am very happy to help and so please you now know a great way to run your sim. Happy days.🙂

Also if 60FPS is to much to hold, lock in the sim at 20 FPS ( its 1/3 ) with 120Hz it will lock frames at 40 FPS. 40 FPS is also a perfect match with TrackIR.

Enjoy! 🙂

Yep, 60 FPS was proving a little taxing on anything with glass so that second advice is spot on. Again - many thanks. Really feel I've unleashed the monitor/ card and MSFS2020 to a new level.

Nice one centurion!

Freesync 2 monitors have low frame rate compensation and will usually work fine with Gsync all the way down to just a few hz.  

However the oldschool Freesync monitors did not have low frame rate compensation and will not work with gsync below their minimum frame rate.

Assuming you have a Freesync 2 monitor it will probably be fine even if not "certified" by NVIDIA.  Just try it and see if it works.
