Re: G-Sync indicator not visible unless 'NVIDIA GPU only' display mode selected

Pretty sure this is expected. G-Sync only works if the Nvidia GPU is connected directly to the display, bypassing the integrated GPU. This is what setting the display mode to "Nvidia GPU only" does. If you use Optimus the image always has to go through the iGPU and G-Sync will not be available, as ...

G-Sync indicator not visible unless 'NVIDIA GPU only' display mode selected

Hi all, I'm having a new issue that wasn't present originally with my gaming laptop. Unless I have the display mode set to 'NVIDIA GPU only', I am not getting G-sync active in games on my Legion Pro 5i's G-Sync capable screen. In fact, I am not even seeing the 'Monitor Technology' tab in the game's ...

Re: DLSS 3 and V-Sync

Should I also use an in-game cap 3 FPS below the NVCP/RTSS(with Reflex limiter) cap as described in the "best practices" post I linked above? As I mentioned above, this happens automatically by Reflex when using vsync (and it's gonna be more than just 3FPS.) Thanks for clarifying this. So, I suppos...

Re: DLSS 3 and V-Sync

So you run without any v-sync? Screen tearing can still occur below max refresh rate, so you have no screen-tearing mitigation? I do use vsync. As I said, I do the same thing as without DLSS 3. G-sync + vsync + cap. I'm also surprised to hear you say you operate as normal with screen caps while usi...

Re: DLSS 3 and V-Sync

So am I correct in understanding that the options are: A) screen tearing (no v-sync) B) extra 200ms or so latency (due to v-sync issue with DLSS 3) ?? Not sure what you mean. There is no vsync issue with DLSS 3. I use g-sync with an FPS cap below max refresh rate to prevent vsync lag. In other word...

Re: DLSS 3 and V-Sync

You'll want to also enable ultra low latency, though. It doesn't matter, because DLSS FG has Reflex as a hard requirement. So ULL doesn't have any effect. So am I correct in understanding that the options are: A) screen tearing (no v-sync) B) extra 200ms or so latency (due to v-sync issue with DLSS...

DLSS 3 and V-Sync

Is the consensus still to disable v-sync when running DLSS 3? I have seen a lot of contradictory discourse around this and am looking for the definitive blur busters (tm) verdict here.

PSA for Laptop Gamers Re Stutter

Hi all, I recently bought a 4070 equiped Lenovo Legion Go, and while I've been very impressed by the power this laptop brings to bear on modern games, I was haunted by incessant, regular stuttering in many games, manifesting as small stutters every second or two. My annoyance grew as I went through ...

Re: New Gaming PC Owner, G-Sync + V-Sync + Null Discourse is Making my Brain Bleed

... however, NULL only works with DX 9-11 titles, so NULL would need to be manually disabled and a frame cap implemented every time I plan to play a DX 12 game. That is was more hassle than I'd like to get into, so what are my optimal settings for my "set it and forget it" preference? Should I igno...

Consitent Stutter when GPU Bound (Pics) - Is This Normal?

Hi all, I've been pulling my hair out trying to get to the bottom of an issue which keeps rearing its ugly head: stuttering. Generally, I've found that I'm encountering consitent stuttering in certain games / scenarios, and specifically when GPU bound (100% utilization). Check out these crazy regula...
