NVIDIA G-SYNC

NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ is an advanced technology that matches the monitor's refresh rate to the GPU frame rate. G-SYNC eliminates tearing, and minimizes stutter and input lag, providing a faster, smoother gaming experience when running 3D applications and games. G-SYNC requires a G-SYNC or G-SYNC Compatible display.

Requirements

OS Requirement for G-SYNC displays: Windows 7 or later Windows operating system (Desktop Window Manager must be disabled if using G-SYNC with windowed applications.)
OS Requirement for G-SYNC Compatible displays: Windows 10 or later Windows operating system
NVIDIA G-SYNC display or G-SYNC Compatible display
G-SYNC capable displays incorporate G-SYNC processors that work with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology.
G-SYNC Compatible displays are variable refresh rate (VRR) displays have been validated by NVIDIA to deliver a seamless gaming experience when used with NVIDIA G-SYNC.

Make sure Monitor Technology is set to G-SYNC/G-SYNC Compatible (NVIDIA Control Panel 3D Settings ->Manage 3D Settings page).

Effect on Other Control Panel Settings

When G-SYNC is enabled, certain NVIDIA Control Panel settings are affected as follows:

NVIDIA Control Panel Page	Setting	How Affected
Change Resolution	Refresh rate	Set to the highest refresh rate available for the display
Manage 3D Settings	Stereo Enabled	Set to Off
Manage 3D Settings	Preferred refresh rate	Feature is disabled
Set Up Stereoscopic 3D (available only under Windows 7 for Quadro products)	Enable stereoscopic 3D	Disabled

To change any of these settings to a different value, disable G-SYNC.
