Vertical Sync not working on any titles Nitro 5 (an515-53)

[Pizza Basil]

Have had this problem for a while and haven't found any solutions online to what's causing this. I have v-sync forced on in Nvidia Control Panel (also have preferred graphics processor set to high performance), downloaded the latest driver's both through Nvidia's website and Nvidia's own Geforce Experience to no avail. I have a hunch it's something with the intergrated 630 but that's it. I even uninstalled MSI Afterburner thinking it was something with how it limit's and monitor's my GPU causing a conflict some where but another dead end. Any help is appreciated!

Wipe out all the intel and Nvidia drivers with DDU, via its safe mode option. Ones those are all wiped. Install latest drivers for your...

Intel Chipset INF
Intel hd 630 graphics
Nvidia GeForce (M) Mobile series

Don't use GeForce experience, download the full driver package from nvidia.

Install the Intel drivers first. Reboot after each driver installer has completed.

630m is a weak gpu

if vsync is set to adaptive, it will toggle off when below the refresh rate, and on when at or above

for vsync to be always on, it needs to set to on

That mobile gpu doesn't have any options for any adaptive sync

Yes it's just as weak as an Intel gpu, just leave vsync off at all times. Having it on will just make your performance worse cause the gpu had terrible performance to begin with.

A laptop that old is only good as an office pc anyways. While it can run some games, only ones that don't need much at all for a gpu would be able to run on that, as 630M is much too weak to run games that need a gpu above a GTS 450

I know the 630 is weak the laptop has a 1050ti as well

Oh my bad, so the 630 is the Intel

Ignore the Nvidia driver link above, let me post the correct one for 1050 ti

The intel gpu settings aren't used as long as the app is fully running off the Nvidia one. It just uses the intel gpu as frame buffer. Use GPUZ app to see that game is actually using the Nvidia gpu.

you didnt say anything about the nvidia 1030m

just nvidia and 630, assuming it was a gt630

make sure vsync is not set to adaptive, just on

Uninstalled drivers using DDU and installed the notebook drivers from Nvidia's web site as well as installed GPUz to see whether the correct card was under load when gaming. While the game is using the correct GPU i still can't enable vsync for some reason I have it on in Control Panel but games Ive tested such as Overwatch and Garrys mod still run without it.

Sometimes it just won't get forced, as that won't work for all games. Try turning on vsync within the game. Also after game launches, try toggling it from fullscreen to windowed and then back again. As many games often launch as borderless windowed and thus it appears fullscreen.

Check the properties for steam.exe and your game exe files and disable full screen optimization

Went from full screen to windowed and back around again as well as also disabled full screen optimizations. Used garrys mod as a test and it still goes to the frames in the hundreds.

check nvidia control panel
if vsync is set to fast-sync, it will allow higher fps, not putting the gpu to idle when the next frame is ready (how oldschool vsync worked) building a new frame that may be done before being pushed to the display, dropping the previous frame/s

vsync to on, will put the gpu to idle when the next is ready

It is set to on for some reason I dont have the option for fast sync, adaptive sync or adpatice sync 1/2 the only options I get from the drop down menu are 1. Use 3D Application Setting 2. On 3. Off

Update: Found a small work around, the only way I can get vsync to work is by hooking up an external monitor to the laptop. Games like garrys mod and overwatch now use the Nvida settings set up through control panel when playing this way.
