    Hi,

    I did replaced my IPS panel (B156HAN01) for 120Hz TN model (B156HTN5.1, AUO51ED), but after reinstall and perform clean instalation Nvidia drivers I cant see Gsync option in Nvidia Control panel.

    Do you think i have wrong edp cable ( 2line vs 4line) or where can be problem?

    I own 15 R3, 6700HQ, GTX 1070.

    Thanks for help.

    was it originally a gsync laptop? If not you cannot add it afterwards. If it was, i do know some screen revisions dont work well in this laptop.

    Then you cannot enable it. You need a gsync motherboard for that.

    You are right. I wanted Gsync enabled only for test, because I think there will be input lag for playing FPS games like PUBG. Iam very satisfied with 120Hz.
