I have experienced this as well, but toggling G-Sync on and back off has fixed it for me.
This was the first obvious solution I tried.

Today I installed old Windows 10 1909 on a separate SSD and G-sync works totally fine. No VRR trigger in windowed mode if disabled in NVCP. So the problem is most likely in Windows 10 updates somwere between 1909 and 22H2 version.

Any thoughts about fixing it on modern version of Windows 10?

Hmmm maybe full-screen optimizations stuff. Though I am not entirely sure how this works yet.

Just happen to know around those versions that got introduced.

May or may not be MPO-related (effectively makes some windowed apps act more like exclusive fullscreen when focused):
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers ... er-version

Nvidia offers a regedit to disable MPO:

You can attempt the regedit on your original drive (containing the newer version of Windows) to see whether that resolves your particular issue.

Read about this about a week ago, though didn't consider this one as a valid solution -- did this change per those versions? (if you know)

MPO support for Nvidia GPUs was introduced in driver version 461.09. I don't know what Windows 10 version introduced it at the OS-level off-the-top-of-my-head though.

Again, it may or may not be the culprit, but worth a shot.

Yep! This works. Disabling MPO fixes stuttering and flickering with G-SYNC enabled.

Thanks you guys for help!

- same this regedit just fixed everything, my mw2 benchmark score didn't change, my 3080 is cranking out frames in mw2 again, almost consistantly 277 fps the whole time with no stutters or dips (im using 3x monitors btw idk if that matters)

- also just googling mpo it seems like the amd guys are using this tweak a lot
