You likely need G-Sync for 100% smooth performance at all times, and without any tearing. If you don't care about screen tearing, just disabling V-Sync and running in fullscreen mode should work, as long as the in-game framerate limiter is set to 60. If it's close enough, V-Sync probably works. The reason people are reporting different things is that it probably depends on slight timing differences as "60Hz" displays are not all running at exactly 60.000000Hz. (possibly with the new fullscreen optimizations enabled on Windows 10) Some people here say they get better results in fullscreen with V-Sync on though.

NVIDIA V-Sync would influence the framerate which is likely to affect that, while running (old) borderless mode with v-sync disabled should not - and still remain free of tearing. However, for native 3440x1440, I really need something faster than a GTX 1070.Ĭlick to expand.The issue seems to be that some timer in the game is required to be running at exactly 60Hz or else you get bad microstutter/framepacing issues which make it feel like the game is running at half the framerate. I wish that it ran better, and supported framerates >60 FPS, but it is at least in a playable state now. Still, it sounds like there are at least two different things that people can try to see if it allows the game to run smoothly for them.

There shouldn't be a difference in V-Sync behavior between fullscreen/borderless if you're on the Win10CU. If I disable the optimizations and use true fullscreen exclusive mode, I get the same bad stuttering that was always there. (set it to anything else and those issues return)Īnd again: if you're on the Creators Update, the game is basically in borderless mode whether it's set to fullscreen or not, unless you have disabled fullscreen optimizations. It's not as bad as an external framerate limiter or NVCP V-Sync being applied, but the only thing that eliminates the frame-pacing/microstutter issues is to use the game's framerate limiter set to 60 FPS in borderless mode. I've downloaded it again and tested on both systems I have - one with a G-Sync display and another connected to a TV, and V-Sync still causes it to stutter.
