Gsync somehow lowering my fps

Hello, my Gsync is been acting weird for the past few months, I always used the gsync+vsync+-3 fps method but now if I turn it on it lowers my fps by basically half, I tested this in games like half-life 1 to recent ones like overwatch where they are supposed to run at 117fps, however in games like overwatch where it offers a borderless windowed mode if I switch to it from fullscreen with gsync on my fps goes back to normal and the gsync indicator was still on, other times gsync works as it should until next restart where it goes back to being broken and oddly enough when I press the windows+prtscrn to take screenshots my fps goes back to normal momentarily , I'm on a laptop with a 120hz screen, GTX 1080, windows 11 pro. Thanks.

Maybe multi-display issues? Do you have more than one display connected?

Make sure your Display Scaling mode are both set to GPU.

For me, I found that my second monitor was set to Display and the main game on the main display got limited by the options in the Display mode scale monitor. (360hz on main would lock to 165hz, second monitor) swapping them both to GPU resolved this issue for me.
