G-sync disengages when watching videos in browser

Post by throwaway31 » 25 Sep 2024, 06:55

Title. If I watch a video such as a stream or YouTube video in Firefox while gaming, G-sync turns off in-game. I have G-sync set globally to fullscreen in Nvidia Control Panel but I manually enable my games to allow fullscreen and windowed in Nvidia Profile Inspector.

If it matters, I am running a dual monitor setup with an Acer XFA240 @ 144fps as my main monitor and HP E232 @ 60fps as my second monitor.

If you need anymore information let me know, thank you.

Hello read nVidia release notes to drivers. They describe some scenarios where - despite GiSYNC is globally set ON - they will switch it off anyway, I think something related to playing videos was mentioned, it was for 561.09 or 565.90 driver when I read it. Also it may behave different due to MPO.Its all too complicated and not documented good enough.
