Vsync and Bordless Windows?

[kid_a_lot]

Full screen and Normal in game Vsync stutters and hitches, frame times are all over the place. Why can't I seem to get the game to run Vsync with border less Windows and turning nvidia cp Vsync on in full screen doesn't work either.

I seem to be stuck using in game Vsync or borderless window with screen tearing (capped at 60) but with smoother frame times.

I gave tried Vsync on fast in nvidia cp, but something doesn't seem right about that mode, get sharper hitches and stutter at times.

Bump.

So anyone know how to use Vsync in Borderless Windows or Override in game Vsync with Nvidia control panel in full screen mode?

Disable vsync in game and try limit fps with Rivatuner... Worked here...

I disabled vsync in game. Nvidia control panel set vsync to fast and max pretenders frames to 1. No issues with that setup for me. Ingame vsync automatically halves my frame rate to 30 when I get ~55 in 4k

If your runing borderless then your your doing vsync twice your useing the windows AREO vsync and the games.
Turn off the vsync in game and limit your frames to your monitorwith your driver,or rivatuner.

I'm using a 60hz display, no Gsync.

Ok, using Rivaturner and set at 60, in game set to full screen, Vsync off, frame limit off. Vsync is on in nvidia control panel.

Result: screen tearing, but level frame time and frame rates.

Vsync should normally eliminate screen tearing.

In game Vsync option is greyed out on borderless window and nvidia control panel setting seem to have no affect on this game.

Vsync in this game is broken it seems. I have GTX 1080 Ti and have same problem. If I play fullscreen with vsync on, there is stuttering, especially while driving. If I disable vsync, there is horrible screen tearing. So, I've just put the game on borderless and capped it to 60FPS.

Now I have zero stuttering and game is working very smoothly. Also, no tearing (even if there is any, it's very minimal and I don't notice it at all).

Also, Nvidia Control Panel settings doesn't work for me in this game. Dunno why. Game just ignores them in both borderless and fullscreen.

P.S. Playing on Uplay.

When running in windowed mode (including Borderless), Windows applies its own triple-buffered VSync onto the game. (as it does to all windows in general)

The in-game VSync option is double-buffered, which means if your framerate drops below your refresh rate, it'll be, to put it simply, artificially lowered to half your refresh rate until it recovers to your refresh rate frequency. (so at a 60Hz display, if you go below 60 FPS in a given scene it'll drop to 30 FPS) Triple-buffered VSync does NOT have this issue, neither does G-Sync. (but G-Sync also, afaik, has none of the input lag that can be introduced by other forms of VSync either)
