Please ensure that:

  • your monitor has been certified as G-Sync Ultimate/G-Sync/G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync Premium Pro/FreeSync Premium
  • you are running at least a 10-Series (GTX 1000) Nvidia GPU if you intend to enable G-Sync/VRR.

Please note that G-Sync/VRR can only be enabled via DisplayPort only with the exception of the 30-Series (RTX 3000) and above (G-Sync/VRR is enabled via HDMI 2.1).

For older GPUs from the GTX 600 to 900 series, G-Sync/VRR is only enabled for G-Sync monitors only (Monitors with a G-Sync Module) and not compatible with other monitors (Including G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync Premium Pro/FreeSync Premium)

For displays with the word FreeSync only, VRR is only compatible on AMD Radeon GPUs via HDMI or DisplayPort as FreeSync is AMD's proprietary implementation of the Adaptive Sync standard and not compatible with Nvidia GPUs. For displays without any certification, VRR/G-Sync is not supported in any kind.

A monitor with any G-Sync certification should have G-Sync automatically enabled on connection. If this is not the case, or if the monitor does not have a G-Sync certification, but does have a FreeSync Premium or above certification, please follow the instructions below to enable G-Sync/VRR:

Check your monitor’s native menu system to see if FreeSync has been automatically enabled. This may be labeled in different ways, but could fall under game-related settings.

If FreeSync hasn’t been enabled, you may be able to force the feature. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel app, click on Manage 3D settings, then click the Monitor Technology drop-down and choose G-SYNC Compatible.

While in the NVIDIA Control Panel, check that Preferred fresh rate is toggled to Highest available, and/or that Vertical sync is set to On. Click Apply to make settings take effect. Note that if you turn on vertical sync (V-sync) this way, you should disable in-game V-sync settings.

In the Control Panel’s sidebar, click on Set up G-SYNC (under Display). For your FreeSync monitor, tick the Enable G-SYNC, G-SYNC Compatible and Enable settings for the selected display model checkboxes. When you’re done, click Apply.

Alternatively, open the Nvidia app, click on System, under Display Properties make sure the G-SYNC is turned on (green button), and the resolution and refresh rate is set to the highest. The Nvidia G-Sync logo should appear on your display icon if it’s working & compatible with your monitor.

Note that the "fullscreen" option also covers most borderless games. The "windowed" option is not necessarily if your game functions correctly with the former option.

Essentially GSync Compatible = Freesync Premium

#

The "Enable settings for selected display model" are for G-Sync compatible monitors with custom settings/timings from Nvidia. You do not need to worry about that anyway since you are having the same experience whether it's on a G-Sync or Freesync Premium monitor

#

that checkbox is basically just to enable custom settings required for that specific monitor to run G-Sync monitor

#

If you don't have that option you can ignore it
