Tip For Getting NVIDIA GSync Working

  • sudo ls /usr/share/doc/nvidia*
  • Desktop Help-Centre search [ nvidia ]

  • always post [ inxi -Fz ] output. Things will get fixed that you didnt realise were broken.

  • To be clear there are no "fixes" to be developed and implemented by non-nVidia Devs. There is only misinformation, misunderstanding and misconfiguration. Everything that needs to be configured is in the links provided below.

  • You've made an excellent contribution and your heart is in a great place. But despite popular belief installing nvidia isnt a magic show its a book.

1a.) * "Unlike Windows, where you don't have to, you have to turn on Vsync in the in-game menu for Gsync to work."

1a.) * No. to my knowledge vSync wont work in the nvidia driver unless its configured to run. Remember these card do crypto mining and networking aswell.

1a.) * Extract: [ Setting static 2D/3D clocks ] [ " Set the following string in the Device section to enable PowerMizer at its maximum performance level (VSync will not work without this line):... ]

1a.) * [ Option "RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" ]

1a.) * Ref:' https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Setting_static_2D/3D_clocks ' * ---

2b.) * " Also disable/uncheck "Force Full Composition" in the NVIDIA Xserver Display settings if it is on." Could you please provide the link for this? I dont think this is correct at all. If "Force Full Composition" is causing performance degradation then theres an issue. Maybe xorg.conf renderaccel ( I think)

GoodLuck!, Hav Fun! noble effort
