I just purchased a GSync monitor, and my question is this: What do I do with in-game vsync settings?

Do I just disable all vsync settings in the game options?

Thanks

Not anymore, G-Sync now also works in windowed mode (thereby removing the only disadvantage of running certain games in windowed mode), but you have to specifically enable it so.

In the nVidia control there is a tab labeled G-Sync, and in that there will be an option to enable G-Sync in fullscreen mode only or both fullscreen and windowed.

But, if you are using the latest official driver 358.50. be sure to us this driver instead:

There was an issue with G-Sync in the current official driver, and this is the hotfix directly addressing that problem

first of all, what graphics card do u have, if its a nvdia gpu, also a high end one, g sync will work.

to enable gsync, u must close v sync and enable g sync in the nvdia control panel. sometimes, u need to enable g sync in the game setting as well to get it work.

Also, i think g sync only works in full-screen.

If you are not experiencing any massive slowdowns with G-Sync enabled, it should be. 358.50's G-Sync performance problem was extremely obvious (like in 120fps to 30fps difference), at least it was in my case.
