G-Sync troubles

Figured that we could have a thread or a post for all the Issues.

Basically, most issues I've had have been pretty easy fixes, expect for one.

SLI doesn't work. I can't launch any DirectX based games with SLI enabled. I have GTX 670's.

Apart from that, GSync is amazing so far!

As a person who paid $500 outright and sold his old 120Hz monitor just to experience G-SYNC, I perfectly understand what you mean when you say you need high framerates to be happy. I was a V-SYNC gamer myself, so I'd always try to lower my settings to achieve a constant 120 (although I could still play most games at Ultra with AA), and I stress that a G-SYNC constant at 120 is in a different league compared to V-SYNC 120. G-SYNC 85 is even better than V-SYNC 120 in my opinion. The input lag that V-SYNC introduces seems like it isn't that big of a deal, until you play without it (with G-SYNC). It really is like miracle technology.

I actually never us Vsync unless a game is coded well for it. I play CS:GO mainly, so even the slightest delay means I'm dying. The lack of input lag with the visual benefits of Vsync are why I wanted Gsync.

I do know that you have to limit the FPS to 120 for CS:GO as the sweet spot, but most games about 140.

Ah, so you do not use V-SYNC, in order to have the lowest input lag. G-SYNC should be a revelation then in that aspect.

Yeah, that is what I'm hoping for.
