You should read the G-Sync 101 article on how to set up g-sync:

https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/gsync ... -settings/

The "Optimal G-SYNC Settings" section of the article will tell you what settings to use, but reading all sections is recommended to better understand G-Sync.

As for the mouse cursor, it will stutter in many cases with g-sync, because now the cursor is tied to the frame rate. In many games, the mouse cursor is not rendered by the game, but by Windows, and it's always running at the monitor refresh. Even if the game runs at 80FPS, if the monitor runs at 144Hz, the mouse cursor moves at 144FPS. With g-sync, this is no longer the case. In games that switch to 30FPS when you open menu screens (many games do that), your mouse cursor will run at 30FPS too. This cannot be avoided.

Furthermore, g-sync results in short FPS stalls when the game drops to 0FPS. This happens when you open menus, after loading screens, etc. G-Sync needs time to recover from that, and this is visible in the mouse cursor.
