[Bug?] Drivers forgetting I have a G-sync display
[Bug?] Drivers forgetting I have a G-sync display
The first time I thought it was a fluke but it just happened again. I started a game, noticed some stuttering and tearing so I check the monitor OSD and G-sync is not enabled. In the control panel the vsync behavior has been changed back to default and G-sync is no longer an option, like I don't have a G-sync display attached. I have to reboot to fix it. Has anyone else experienced this?

Re: [Bug?] Drivers forgetting I have a G-sync display
Have you tried reinstalling the driver with clean install? Can you give me your system specs to see if we can reproduce here?
Please send me a PM if I fail to keep up on replying in any specific thread.
Re: [Bug?] Drivers forgetting I have a G-sync display
I actually already sent you system information to check into the tearline problem I've been having. Here are the links again: DXdiag, nVidia System InfoManuelG_NVIDIA wrote:Have you tried reinstalling the driver with clean install? Can you give me your system specs to see if we can reproduce here?
Windows 7 64 bit
Intel Core i5-4670k @4GHz
GTX 760
8 GB RAM
I'll try a clean install with the new beta driver but it may be a while before I can confirm if that fixed anything or not since it has only happened twice in about a month.

(Idea: Maybe re-run DXdiag and nVidia System Information again the next time you see this happens?)

Re: [Bug?] Drivers forgetting I have a G-sync display
It just happened again. I noticed that G-sync wasn't functioning while playing a game and G-sync is not available in the control panel. This is the first game I've launched today, but I believe G-sync was functioning was a video player earlier in the day. Here are the new DXdiag and nVidia System Info

Quick update: I left my computer on overnight with the monitors turned off. Today, G-sync is working again. I'm pretty sure I tried power cycling the monitor the first time this happened so I'm not sure what to think at this point.

This has happened to me as well. It happened once a couple weeks ago and I didn't think much of it, but it's happened twice so far today.

I'm running a different OS and card than you, so I don't think the problem is with those. Might be the drivers?nimbulan wrote:I'm up to 4 or 5 times now?

Just thought I'd add my name to the list too. This happened to me a few minutes ago. I was playing a game for an hour or so, when I noticed my display flicker or change colors or something, it was something that made me stop for a split second. So I hit my OSD and it said 'normal' mode instead of 'gsync'.
I then went to the Nvidia Control Panel and like magic, the option for use Gsync was gone, so was the set up Gsync tab. A reboot brought everything back to normal. Any idea on what this is guys ?
My driver is 334.89 and I've had it installed for a few weeks now no problems.
Specs: GTX Titan, 3930K, 16GB Ram, 650ti set as Phsyx
