Nvidia vsync options

Hello,

Comming from Windows, I figured out that a lot of nvidia settings aren't available, one of them being the vsync options.
I have enabled vsync, but I can't figure out how to set it to adaptive or even fast vsync.

I do know that nvidia isn't really supportive on Linux (heh, we're still waiting on Wayland to work well with nvidia), but does adaptive and/or fast vsync exist on Linux?

I also noticed that when a game (in this case Minecraft in fullscreen mode) is running in full screen, that vsync is disabled (since the compositor is disabled automatically iirc), meaning that if I go back to my web browser to search something, I get the worst screen tearing I've seen.
Is there a solution to that?

Re: Nvidia vsync options

Thanks, that fixed my 2nd issue. I only needed Force Composition Pipeline, not the full option.
