Asus pg279 gsync - gsync on or off

[sonicpete]

I just got the awesome asus pg279 gsync monitor and want to get the best out of games using gsync. There appears to be conflicting advice on the web. I have the latest nvidia driver. Are the best settings to have in the control panel and in game:

Monitor Technology - Gysnc
Vsync - On
Ingame - Vsync enabled

Yes. Also I would suggest running the screen in 144 Hz, as it's been suggested by some it gives the best color reproduction and less input lag, than 165 Hz (I believe it was PcPer who mentioned this).

And last you should probably use a calibrated profile which you can find here.

Vsync on in NCP, off in game.

Vsync on in NCP, off in game.

This right here.

Enabling V-Sync in games can introduce unwanted lag, Enabling it in the NCP just caps the frames to your monitors refresh rate.

I haven't felt any lag with v-sync on in games with g-sync enabled. Don't confuse it with v-sync without g-sync. It's just a fps cap with g-sync on.

Not confusing anything just passing on what I know as I had a G-Sync monitor.

V-Sync and G-Sync on in the NCP, V-Sync off in games.

Thanks for the advice. I have used the calibrated profile and the screen is a lot better. Its not excessively bright now. Im running it at 144hz. I have set the gsync option and enabled v sync in the control panel options.
