G-SYNC and RTSS

[jorimt]

just been wondering now you know when you can press f 11 to go full screen ? if i got a game in borderless would pressing f 11 make it exclusive fullscreen or would this not make a difference ?

have you had chance to check this out yet man ?

I saw it, but I was going to wait until I had time this weekend (I have a day job and answer questions here on an entirely volunteer-basis, FYI) to check and answer because what you're asking can be dependent on a few things, including the game.

What I can say now is, the legacy keyboard shortcut was alt+enter. Typically, if the game had an exclusive fullscreen mode, that shortcut switched between exclusive fullscreen and borderless/windowed.

I think the F11 shortcut is newer and was introduced in Win 10 and up. I don't recall ever using F11 for this purposes other than in web browsers in Win 10/11 (I barely ever used the legacy shortcut and used alt+tab to minimize instead), so I'd have to test it myself in a few games and see how it behaves.

yeah ok that would be great thank you, something ive been wondering is you know with a 60 hz monitor v sync locks fps to 60 ?, would v sync behave the same for all hz ? e.g 120 hz 120 fps ect

Okay, so I took a look this evening and tried multiple games, and F11 is doing nothing for me. What games in particular are letting you use F11 to switch? If I have any of them, I'll test.

Otherwise, to your question, after pressing F11, go into the game's display settings and see what its window option is set to. It should show you what mode it is currently in.

Yes, if the framerate can reach it, standalone V-SYNC will throttle the framerate to the current max refresh rate. This however isn't the same as using an FPS limit and is what causes V-SYNC latency in the first place.

ok thanks for taking a look it wasnt actually in any game in particilar it was just a thought i had and was wondering if anyone had thought of it before

got a bit of a weird situation in a game, for a start there isnt any settings in game at all as its an indie game just has start and exit in menu, however after watching vids on YT of other playing the same game i noticed that theyre fps is normally at some maxed out hz e.g 144,240,.. so im guessing this game has v sync built into it some how, in this situation would leaving v sync on in nvcp and the one built into game matter at all ?

Firstly, when you have a question about a particular game, please name the game. Secondly, I already answered the last part of your question earlier in this thread. See my last answer in the linked comment:

ahh yeah my bad sorry

[Anonymous893125]

Short answer? Yes; NVCP V-SYNC + in-game V-SYNC = same flag enabled at the driver level, thus you can't really enable V-SYNC "twice."

The only reason disabling in-game V-SYNC with G-SYNC is generally recommended is because the in-game V-SYNC option may engage other behaviors unrelated to V-SYNC that may or may not be beneficial to G-SYNC operation.

does the same apply even if there is no v sync option in game but v sync is on by default in the game ? what i mean is no in game setting for v sync it just is on

Yes.
