Step 3: Disable G-Sync
In the G-Sync settings, you’ll see options to ‘Enable G-Sync’ for full-screen mode or windowed mode. Uncheck these boxes to disable G-Sync for your games.
Step 4: Adjust V-Sync Settings
After disabling G-Sync, it is advisable to configure V-Sync to manage screen tearing and synchronization. Go to ‘Manage 3D settings’ in the NVIDIA Control Panel, and under the ‘Global Settings’ tab, set ‘Vertical sync’ to ‘On’ or ‘Adaptive’ based on your performance needs.
Step 5: Tweak Game-Specific Settings
For finer control over game performance, navigate to ‘Program Settings’ under ‘Manage 3D settings’, select your game, and adjust settings like ‘Max Frame Rate’ and ‘Power Management Mode’ to optimize performance.
Testing and Final Adjustments
After configuring these settings, launch your game to test performance. Monitor FPS and game smoothness to ensure the settings have the desired effect. If necessary, iterate on individual settings to find the optimal balance between performance and visual quality.
