Hi all-

I'm in the middle of a problem that I've never seen. FPS is locked on screen fluctuating between 28/30 fps.

Internal limiter has no effect. NVCP max rate set has no effect.

Repairing the client /reinstalling the driver has no effect

Monitor is a Dell 32" UHD set at 60hz, which it is. Firmware latest.

I've powered down the box and unplugged the monitor. No change.

Uninstalled/reinstalled NVCP. No joy.

Something of note..I was running Adaptive 1/2 refresh rate for the longest time when all of a sudden that option disappeared leaving only On/Off/Fast as selections.

Other than the nuclear option (uninstall/reinstall V5) what am I missing here?

Try deleting the P3D config and NVCP to default.

Already done both 🙁

I had a similar problem not so long ago: I used to run my games without VSync, but all of a sudden VSync had reactivated itself, although all parameters were set to off, in games or in the NCP.

It turned out my video drivers had been updated without notice. I was willingly keeping an old version which was working nicely for my GTX1070ti (457.30), but when I checked the version again I realized the version was newer. I reverted back to previous drivers and everything went back to normal.

TL;DR: check your drivers version, ensure it's still the one you expected it to be.

Thanks Daube.

As it turned out, MS Update installed a 147.xx driver over (or with) my 517.xx driver for my 3080ti. Go figure.
Ran DDU, reinstalled my 517s and all seems to be fine. Still missing adaptive refresh but I can live with that.

Resetting the GPU to default ultimately solved this problem as it turns out.

Was the GPU overclocked?

This is why I never let MS install anything on auto, notify me only if you run old divers MS will push an update.

After fixing this, I ran the Win22 update that I've had on pause for weeks.

Checked everything was OK and on the advice of someone several pay grades above me, installed Windows Update Blocker.

For the time being anyway. 😉
