Basically the title.
I'm just reporting I encountered this bug. I hope you guys can get it fixed as soon as possible.

VRR works as it should in local games, except when I play on GeForce Now.

It used to work ~~two weeks ago and then stopped working. Refresh rate just doesn't adjust to the framerate of content displayed.

It could be something to do with 5080 servers

#

Or the server you're connected to

#

The easiest fix would be to

  1. Try another server
  2. Try the weaker/stronger rig

Tried these steps early on, they didn't help

#

Keep in mind, by this point the multiple reports on Reddit have established that one and the same display can:

  • have a functional VRR in GeForce Now if you run it on a Mac
  • have a broken VRR in GeForce Now if you run it on a WINDOWS 11 PC

Server and rig doesn't matter

Even if it happened because of the 5080 upgrade (which is not certain, it could've been a Windows 11 update instead, or maybe a GeForce Now update that solved server issues we saw), this issue remains for affected people even if they connect to 4080 rigs

Can you try reinstalling GFN,

#

And what monitor are you using?

#

Alongside that, what's your PC specs?

Take a look at one of your GFN Ambassadors testing in this thread (I'm linking to one of his comments but you can go through all that he found out in this thread)

#

Also OP, also other people replying to this thread

#

so it's not just me

#

I forwarded it too towards NV, I'll keep you informed of any updates.

#

Any news?

warm lantern
#

I forgot to ask, apologies, what is your PC specs? Since other ambassadors noticed that it doesn't work for AMD.

VRR on Windows 11 GeForce Now app is a toggle available to RTX GPUs only as far as I know

#

I tested with various Nvidia RTX cards, it doesn't work in Windows 11

RTX 2070 Super, RTX 4080, doesn't matter

#

Are you using a cable that supports VRR and a monitor that also supports it? It also needs to be enabled in your control panel. Also, apparently you should only have 1 monitor connected.

My VRR works perfectly fine in local games, it's only GFN app that had the problem

#

All of the above requirements were indeed met on my end

I've pushed it forward again to try and get a reply back.

This has been going on since the first half of September

#

And I've had a ticket back then too of course

warm lantern
#

This is what I got from NVIDIA:
"I'm not seeing reports for this on other stuff so it may be unique for them. If theyre able to file a ticket and report that can help"

#

I'm assuming they haven't contacted NVCC about it.

willow nebula
#

Can you ask them straight up about a specific ticket number I got from my nvidia.custhelp.com account info?

A few weeks back in my ticket "250914-000449" a representative said and I quote:

#

"Yes, this issue is reported to the backend team and currently being worked-on on the report."

warm lantern
#

I'll see what I can do.
