G SYNC on or off ? and why ?

Why would anybody switch it off?
It hides FPS drops and stutters to some degree. Depends of VRR range of your monitor as well.

You just need to switch v-sync off when using g-sync or free-sync. Vsync needs to be off both - in game and nvidia control panel.

keep it on

You don't need to turn off V-Sync to use G-Sync, no idea how you come up with that. I always use both and it works as intended.

IIRC I capped FPS at 60 because I didn't see the need for it to go higher. But yeah, I still had Gsync on though.

Go to NVidia Control panel, G-Sync - put radio button in "Use G-Sync in fullscreen and windowed mode" - bcuz game use only "Bordelrless windowed mode"

When Gsync first launched you could only use it WITH Vsync enabled, it was only because of backlash that Nvidia allowed you to disable Vsync and still use Gsync.

I wrote this only because I’ve seen lots of people having problems when combining gsync + vsync in game options + vsync in nvidia in control panel + VRR in windows settings.
Also current version of freesync/gsync reduces screentearing anyway.

I got an older G-Sync Monitor (144 HZ 1080p) from 2015 and a G-Sync TV (120 HZ 2160p HDR) from 2020, and G-Sync works the exact same way for both. If i don't activate V-Sync i get screen tearing if my FPS go too high, and limiting the FPS to the exact refreshrate doesn't help. I have to keep both V-Sync and G-Sync active else i get tearing. i don't notice any input lag or anything if my FPS are high, just how it has to be. If i want to get even lower input lag, i can also activate nvidia reflex, but that reduces the max FPS a tiny bit, and i don't really notice any difference about input lag, because i don't notice input lag at all.

Do you have vsync on in game and nvidia CP?
I play on a FreeSync 120Hz TV. I activate VRR in windows and FreeSync in AMD software and have no screen tearing even without vsync.

[Mexicola9302]

I have it on in nvidia control panel only. I have to activate V-Sync in the CP or ingame else i get screen tearing. It doesn't matter if i activate V-Sync in the control panel or ingame, both does the exact same in like 99% of all games. Except in Forza Motorsport 7 for some weird i get less FPS if i activate it ingame instead of in the control panel. No idea why that is the case and honestly don't care why FM7 is different than other games.

I stopped activating V-Sync in games years ago, i just always keep it active in the control panel.

Maybe Freesync is different than G-Sync i honestly don't care, all i know is that G-Sync alone DOESN'T eliminate all tearing.

I use this:
Monitor: Acer Predator XB270H 27", 1080p, 144 HZ, G-Sync (2014 model bought in 2015)
TV: LG OLED55B9SLA 55", 2160p, HDR, Dolby Vision, 120 HZ, G-Sync (2020)

Monitor is connected via Display Port and TV via HDMI.

If you have vsync on then it'll sit at the screen's refresh rate. Gsync is supposed to be variable rate refresh. You are not doing it right. You've got to set Gsync up in the Nvidia control panel first and then turn vsync off. This way it'll cap out at the monitors refresh rate but if it dips below the monitor's refresh rate, gsync will ensure that it's still synced up and so no screen tearing.

If you are getting screen tearing at all with variable FPS (above or below the monitor) then gsync isn't active. Gsync literally is "no screen tearing while the FPS is going up and down".

For GSYNC to work correctly you have to keep VSYNC enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel. They work in conjunction with each other.

No you don't. Vsync in game is set to off. Vsync in Nvidia Control Panel is set to 3D Application. Gsync has to be set up with either full screen or full screen and borderless windowed.

You clearly don't know how Gsync works.
