Great results with Nvidia Gsync on a Freesync monitor!!!

[rob0203 689]

For people with stutterproblems, this is one to try:

Today I tried to activate Freesync from my 34 inch widescreen monitor to my Nvida RTX 3060.

It is so much better now, really buttersmooth also my fps seems higher.

If you have a Freesync monitor, you can also use Nvidia Gsync nowadays!

See below how to activate, don't forget to connect with displayport cable not HDMI!

Also afterwards tick the adaptive refresh rate box in Prepar3d.

I’ll have to try this I have a free sync g5 Samsung monitor thou could not figure out how to set it up using a nvidia card.

thanks

i bought a g-sync monitor and used a "normal" display port cable that id had for years,  I put G-SYNC on and the screen kept flashing on and off, all sorts of isssues,  I torn my hair out for weeks trying to fix it.

then a mate recommended buying an 8K cable as below,  it pains me to say it but my mate was right.  the new "better" cable works perfectly and the G-SYNC now works perfectly with no flashing on or off with p3d, xp11 or Red Dead 2.  

 

Ive no idea what the differences was/is between the old cable and the new one,  but it fixed my g-sync issues and my proformance is alot better

My freesync monitor with my 1080ti

gsync is not showing up in the drop down Menu in ncp .

I do have  a hdmi cable, do in need to purchase a display port to have it work,?

thanks

On the monitor you have to activate freesync.

Yes, it only works via display port cable not HDMI!

Where it really gets good is a monitor with an actual G-Sync chip that can be in G-Sync mode down to 0hz (FreeSync/G-Sync Compatible is 30hz minimum I think).

this is so true.  It's unfortunate that most gamers don't need this.  Flight simmers always suffer

Just a side note for freesync monitor users....   The original freesync software can only do your minimum vertical refresh rate and those monitors are usually all at 48hz(40hz if your lucky) So the G-sync compatibility wont work until you hit 48fps. The new freesync2  have LFC (Low frame rate compensation) which will then double the frames rendered and allowing the tech to go down lower than 48.  Think these monitors can do down to 30hz.   The adaptive refresh check box in P3D definitely helps with both though because its native support.   Ideally G-sync is best because its hardware based. Thus the reason they are more expensive.

I still struggle with G-sync on my variable 144 Hz monitor.  I enable it via Nvidia CP for P3D under Manage 3D Settings (Monitor Technology = G-Sync, Low Latency Mode = Ultra, Max Frame Rate = 48 to avoid massive swings in FPS but keep the smoothness as consistent as possible & VRR checked in P3D), but it was seems to conflict with other programs...for instance Chase Plane and others; I can see  my monitor refresh rate trying to fight itself back to 144 Hz.  I wind up having to minimize all programs, then re-maximize P3D for G-sync to "kick back in" for P3D regardless of windowed or full screen mode (G-sync set to both).  Strangest thing I've seen recently - seems I need to find a way to force G-sync to prioritize P3D over all other programs to control refresh rate.

I'm confused. I read elsewhere that G-sync doesn't help P3D. The preference is to set ones monitor to 1/2 refresh rate and limit frames between 30 and 40. So I have set my 144 Hz, G-sync monitor to 60 Hz and limited frames with Nvidia CP to 30 (unlimited in P3D). Would my performance be better using G-sync?

If you're on V5, try G-Sync on and VRR on in P3D (vsync and triple buffering off). Set the limit in CP to 36 (1/4 of 144hz). Leave your monitor at 144hz.

I don’t know but for me there is a big difference also at lower framerates.
