    I am having a strange issue with nVidia drivers 385.69, if I go to program settings to add a game (Virtual Pool 4) to turn off G-Sync for just that game, it seems to effect all games, not just VP4, any ideas why this might be happening?

    You can revert back to the earlier driver if this one is giving you issues.
