    Hello all,

    I have a Acer Predator Helios 700 with the RTX 2080 and I was wondering if hooking up an external monitor, the aorus CV27F, via the full display port on the back of the laptop will allow me to use Gsync? The laptop itself has Gsync on the panel and the external monitor is Gsync CAPABLE (not approved by nvidia but works according to reviews). Will Gsync work on this monitor when using my laptop?

    As long as you're using DisplayPort rather than HDMI, and that you fully enable G-Sync in the NVIDIA control panel, it should work.
