    Noone said that it will update your edid and bring Gsync support to a non Gsync laptop...why did you buy a known non Gsync laptop if you want Gsync?

    i think that this will enable on basically any adaptive sync monitor...and because my display is basically an adaptive sync monitor without gsync certification i think that this will do the trick...but none. Not a big problem in reality but i'm a bit disappointed

    Out of 400 Freesync monitors tested, 12 were found to be compatible with G-Sync while the rest had shown some issues such as flickering, ghosting, etc.

    Have you tried using CRU to add the FreeSync info into EDID and see if it's enabled?

    I think for now or at least with CES they only tested/validated/supported 12 models. In the future they may update it for more models.

    For those who have no issues but want to update their driver, wait for at least 10 days and you'll probably get another hotfix version :rolleyes: that is optimized for resident evil 2 remake to be released on Jan 25.

    As always... :)

    XtremeG released it with modded drivers [Performance + Tweaks] as always :)

    For Laptops:-
    https://www.reddit.com/r/XtremeG/comments/aghqyx/xg_41771_mobile_win10_x64/
    For Desktops:-
    https://www.reddit.com/r/XtremeG/comments/aghr8c/xg_41771_desktop_win10_x64/

    Sooner or later I will release XG drivers [Lite & Debloated + Physx] today or tomorrow and will only be posted here... ;)
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/modded-nvidia-drivers-for-windows.826322/

    Enjoy ;) :cool:

    Ok here is what they do on every driver :) I got the list from there dead website http://tweakforce.com by using http://web.archive.org/ ;)
    XG drivers are tweaked to improve image quality and stability while performance may increase or decrease slightly depending on your system specs. A few XG registry tweaks include mods to the following:

    Paletted Textures In Video Memory
    Render Quality Flags
    Target Flush Count
    Texture Clamp Behavior
    Texture LOD Bias
    Use Cached PCI Mappings
    Texture Memory Space
    Downloaded Memory Space
    Texture Precache
    UMA Fast Frame Buffering
    Main 3D rendering
    Triple Buffering
    Any more information you want to know.. ask them.. :)
    Here's what I observed comparing between official ones vs XG...
    -Less microstutters
    -Higher OC Potential (Gives me additional 50 ~ 90 MHz more OC) with the same overvolt (I use +75mv) going higher voltage gives me black screen
    -Higher FPS [Not significant-(YMMV)] (due to less stuttering I guess you feel that you are playing at higher frame rate :D)
    -Less latency per a frame (Means smoothie gameplay) ;)

    Is there any way to use a Gsync compatible (Freesync) monitor with a non-gsync laptop?

    OK, so since 417.22 till now I have been getting random FPS drops when the GPU load is at 99%. I've been seeing this issue in both BFV and Siege so it's leading me to think that it's not a game specific issue. So I tried the factory M.2 SSD that came with my laptop and while I was getting lower FPS on average, I wasn't seeing major dips in FPS that i was seeing in this video:



    And even though I have used DDU to wipe and reinstall the NVIDIA drivers (old and new), they still seem to exhibit the same problem. So I don't know if there's something that's hiding in the OS drive that's making my games do this?

    I have tried this and 416.34 on a laptop with 75 hz GSync panel and is it me or GSync seem to work better with the older driver?
    At least with the newer when the fps drops suddenly I can see a very minimal skip/hitching but with the older it is less noticable , it's like if transition from high to low fps with the older driver is smoother...
