Question Is there anyway to enable G-sync via the motherboard port?

[nelska]

I have my g-sync monitor plugged into the motherboard and the gpu works through it. But, I cannot enable g-sync. I can't even use any of the functions or features of nvidia control panel. Is there anyway to enable all of that without having to port the monitor to the gpu itself? Thanks.

Go to the Nvidia Control Panel (right-click the desktop, then click Nvidia Control Panel from the drop-down menu) on your computer. Go to Manage 3D settings and ensure that the monitor technology is set to G-Sync. Check the box next to Enable G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible. Select your display.

There are no options for customization at all when the monitors plugged into the motherboard. Theres usually a list of options with g-sync available on it. when its plugged into the motherboard you can still go to manage 3d settings but theres nothing in there about gsync.

G-Sync will only be functional when using it from the GPU, period. You cannot get G-Sync to work from the motherboard.

That's what I have figured. I am amazed they don't release a nvidia g-sync compatible motherboard. As redundant as that sounds.

It's because the NVIDIA GPU isn't driving the motherboard ports, but the integrated GPU in the processor (if one is present). G-Sync is only available on NVIDIA GPUs.

I know right. They need to bundle it like gaming console processors and just plug and play from the one. I think you just soldier an F chip to the GPU. hahaha. Or an amd chip I guess.
