Titanfall now has better 120Hz support.

Dark Souls 2 is limited to 60 Hz (Dark Souls 1 was limited to 30 Hz ...).

Durante has written a new toolset for downsampling/postpressesing injection, wich MIGHT lead to a 120 Hz mode (I didn't had time to test it yet).

Is this list being maintained? Is it the one in Haste's post? In the op there are only 4 games listed.

Anyway, Trackmania2: Stadium should be removed from Haste's list. I'm running that flawlessly with LightBoost at 100hz. I think I tried it at 120 as well, but settled for 100, since it was easier to maintain the fps. You can even set the maximum framerate in the compatibility settings.

Two more games for the list:
Trials Evolution
Trials Fusion

Both have physics engine tied to the framerate.

I believe the newly released "Wolfenstein: The New Order" has a 60FPS cap.

I have heard that as well but a friend told me he was running it at 100 fps. Does vsync cap it to 60?

I only found this: http://steamcommunity.com/app/288570/di ... 664690439/
Have not tested it, because I don't have the game. :)

Does G-Sync work in games capped at 30 fps like LA Noire or NFS Rivals?

First issue is it is refresh locked to 50hz.
I haven't played any games with locked refresh... Does it mean that if I select 1080p 120hz resolution in driver settings or Windows settings and then launch the game, it will offer me only 1080p50hz resolution in game settings? And as the result, display will work in 1080p50hz when game is launched and then will go back to 1080p120hz after game is closed? :)

For locked 30 fps games it works, but is definitely not recommended. At such a low framerate, the screen can start to visibly flicker and inversion artifacts can be visible. In addition, running so close to G-sync's auto-refresh threshold can occasionally trigger it, causing some stuttering.

Refresh-locked games are fairly common, though it is usually 60Hz rather than 50Hz. You can select any refresh rate you desire on the desktop or in your video drivers, but the game will still set its own refresh rate. Luckily it is more common for games to not specify a refresh rate, so it will automatically match your desktop refresh rate instead.

Spelunky runs at 60 fps, not 30.
