I want some games with G-Sync enabled and some others with ULMB, Is there a way to do this ?
I don't want to enable ULMB or G-Sync manually each time.

Re: Auto-enable G-Sync or ULMB depending on the game
This can be tricky to set up but you can achieve this via using gaming profiles in software that supports profiles.
One popular program that does this is NVInspector. It has profiles that can switch modes (e.g. 120Hz ULMB versus 144Hz GSYNC). It can be tricky to enable ULMB from a computer application, but there's an API call (on some ULMB monitors) that may be able to enable/disable ULMB. This may not work on all monitors, but is worth a try.
At the minimum, refresh-rate switch as well as GSYNC enable/disable already exists in gaming profile switching applications, and possibly ULMB can be part of this too.

Re: Auto-enable G-Sync or ULMB depending on the game
You can also just do that through the control panel. Enable G-Sync as usual, but for games where you want to use ULMB, go their profile in the nvidia panel, and in "Monitor Technology" select "ULMB". The global default will be g-sync, but you can set individual games to use ULMB instead.
For example, here's a screenshot on setting CS:GO to use ULMB instead of G-Sync:
Depending on your monitor, you might also have to change the "Preferred refresh rate" setting for that game profile from "Highest" to "Application controlled", in case ULMB is not supported on your monitor's highest refresh rate.

Seems to work fine, but, what are all these G-Sync settings for ?

I don't know. I recommend not touching them and using the nvidia panel instead.

Re: Auto-enable G-Sync or ULMB depending on the game
If you're a newbie at "profile systems" like these, yes I recommend sticking to NVIDIA's. Changing unfamiliar settings can do bad things to a game (framerate slowdowns, weird effects). Once you are familiar, you can expand to the other software. Make the simple stuff work before doing the advanced stuff first.
Hope this helps!

Re: Auto-enable G-Sync or ULMB depending on the game
The thing to remember is that ULMB only works when GSYNC is turned off. Your settings seem to be the correct state (I think) when you want to enable ULMB.

These are the settings from the CSGO's profile, so i wanted ULMB and it works fine.Chief Blur Buster wrote:The thing to remember is that ULMB only works when GSYNC is turned off. Your settings seem to be the correct state (I think) when you want to enable ULMB.
