Hi
Just installed a new monitor, M27Q, and have been setting it up with help of forums. Seems a little fiddlely!
Im not sure if i have it running right or my GPU is simply not running high enough FPS in the game. Im playing Ghost Recon Future Soldier (i have quite a big backlog to catch up on!). The game seems locked at 60FPS, but when i minimize to desktop that runs at 170Hz.
I have the following settings:
-Windows refresh rate to 170hz, checked also in nvidia control panel.
-G Sync enabled box ticked in control panel
-Control panel Monitor Technology set to G-Sync Compatible.
-Control panel V Sync set to on (this was switched on after reading BlurBusters's thread, randomly fixed a mouse polling rate bug while i was there too!)
-Rivatuner frame rate limit set to 166hz
-and lastly the monitor FreeSync Premium set to 'On'
Any thoughts why it has popped back to 60hz? I did see a video where monitor refresh rate and game FPS dont always match, for what ever reason? ha. I have both riva and monitor frame counters running and they are matching.
Yesterday, i noticed the game is quite graphically intense and i was getting 50-60fps at 99% GPU, with less demanding areas at 90-100FPS. That was only using the monitor freesync 'On', where i was getting pretty bad screen tearing. Thus i looked into how to set g-sync correctly and set the above settings, but has now locked the frame rate to 60.
I was thinking g-sync might lock to certain FPS, 60, 120,144,240, ect. So i tried lowering the graphics, but the only change was to GPU usage now at 30%...
Head scratching now :s
