(To download the GeForce Driver 417.71, please go to the GeForce Website.) Using the DP protocol for VRR, VESA’s DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync Protocol enables G-Sync across almost all monitors that have the DisplayPort’s Adaptive-Sync.NVIDIA announced that on January 15, 2019, they were going to release a GeForce Driver 417.71 that would be able to take advantage of the DP (DisplayPort) protocol of VRR (Variable Refresh Rate).So, what does this mean for your monitor? How do you enable “G-Sync compatible” manually? FIRST, A FEW KEY POINTS Thankfully, NVIDIA has allowed users to test this out on their own as NVIDIA evaluates more monitors and updates their list. G-Sync technology, or that you have to wait for the final testing results to come out. Few have made the cut, but that doesn’t mean that your monitor won’t be able to run NVIDIA’s graphics card will now support numerousįreeSync and Adaptive-Sync monitors with their new driver update.Īfter passing NVIDIA’s rigorous testing, select monitor’s will become validated and join the “G-Sync compatible” list. This announcement came from NVIDIA regarding G-Sync compatibility on gaming monitors. However, there is one announcement, in particular, we’d like to shed a little more light on. But, this service causes stuttering in some of the fullscreen games.NVIDIA Founder, President and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang at CES But when I use 66-144 hertz FreeSync range, this time 65-70 FPS range is causing the same problems. FreeSync is not working correctly because new drivers can not give same required hertz value for low FPS values. In addition, the 'AMD External Events Utility' service is running in the background. This service runs FreeSync in borderless games.

This problems does not occur when I change FreeSync range to 66-144 hertz. Even if FPS fell below 60, I had a very smooth gaming experience. But now when I try new drivers, some of games have under 60 FPS, stuttering or tearing problems occur according to the game V-Sync or fullscreen-borderless settings.

Previously, with old drivers (18.6.1 and before), I never had stuttering or tearing or flickering problems. I've been using RX 480 and Viewsonic XG2401 (TN panel on DP with 29-144 hertz FreeSync range) for two years.
