Due to random crashes in MSFS2024 that would completely restart my PC, I decided to do a complete reinstall of windows 11. However, even since reinstalling I’ve not been able to get g-sync to work with MSFS2024 again (it is working elsewhere such as the nvidia pendulum demo and did work before).

I have an AW3225QF G-Sync compatible monitor with an RTX4090 and checked all the settings in NVCP related to G-sync are turned on and also forced though global and MSFS profiles. I’ve also turned the G-sync indicator on but is not showing in MSFS2024 (before reinstall it would work). I’m running MSFS in full screen mode.

Anyone any idea on what other settings to check?

I recently went through two Windows 11 re-installations and discovered that the first problem is related to NVIDIA drivers with the NVIDIA App. The second major issue is MSFS2024, which is full of bugs, causing all kinds of problems almost every time you start it. I've decided to give up on it for now; with MSFS2020, I don't have any issues. In its current state, MSFS2024 is not worth it.

As one of the biggest advocates for 2024, in its current state, (SU2 beta) breaking a lot addons, I can't say that I blame you. At this point in time 2020 is the best stable platform. I can't believe I'm saying this but 2020 gets the nod for me as well.

I have the same monitor and I also cannot get the Nvidia sync indicator to show in msfs2024. I do get the green gsync indicator in msfs 2020. 2024 runs great until I get the occasional audio popping and stuttering. I wonder if gsync is working, but maybe just the gsync indicator is inop.

Whats GPU and drivers? The current NVIDIA drivers have issues with GSYNC.

I’m using a 4080 super on 566.36.

4090 on 566.36, tried rolling back to these but still no luck. Interestingly I did have GSYNc working before I reinstalled windows with a variety of drivers and also indicator was showing.. in my useropt.cfg I have noticed that even though I have selected full screen, windowed is set to 1 and keeps being overridden whenever I change it to 0. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I’ve tested with some overlays from nvidia inspector - that’s showing that the indicator is working but that MSFS2024 is somehow not requesting VRR/Gsync. Starting to pull my hair out over this, especially as it was working fine before I reinstalled W11..

Reset my aw3225qf to monitor default. Now working in msfs 2024.

Amazing that did the trick! Can’t believe I spent so much time on this with such a simple solution in the end! Thanks for your help!
