    Hi!

    No matter what GSYNC setting I use on my Clevo P670RS laptop I get lag in games like Football manager that is capped to 60fps. The screen is 75hz and I have to set it to 60hz to make the lag dissappear?

    Can I fix this somehow? I dont want change the screen hz between games.

    Wat? That does not compute.

    Do you have VSync enabled - in game or in NVidia global settings? If yes, disable it and bump your panel back up to 75 Hz.

    Have vsync off and gsync on but still it lags like hell in Football Manager 2017 when I have 75hz on the panel. Installed fraps to see fps in game and it is capped to 60 no matter what I do. The fps meter does not move from 60fps so its no framedrops that is causing the lag. When I set my screen to 60hz it is smooth as butter.

    Turn vsync on in the game options. I've had weird things happen like an extremely laggy capped 30fps on a 75hz monitor from having game vsync off and control panel gsync on

    Or you can do it via a forced vsync mode from Nvidia control panel profile.

    Also if there is a frame limit option in the game options turn it off

    It's been a couple months since I had any problems so may be hazy on what my current settings are but a couple of combos definitely caused lag like what you describe.
    (Not in that game tho)

    This is why I thought you had VSync enabled.

    Is it just the one game doing this? And please describe "lag", just so we're on the same page.
