You have tried to enable gsync as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variab … a-settings ?

Razer(x) · 2021-09-21 12:53:51

I can't enable it the way described in the wiki because i do not have those options

What happens if you don't use that xorg config? In particular I wouldn't be surprised if there's some conflict with the composition pipeline and gsync. Also not sure how the UI is going to be built up with two graphics cards, make sure the one that's driving the screen(s) is selected.

Just tried deleting the xorg but nothing changed

Checked every tab in Nvidia for both GPUs but i see no mention of gsync

The wiki specifically mentions go to the "X Server Display Configuration" page as first step

Does that page exist in your nivida-settings ?

Yes but there is no mention of gsync

The gsync option is supposed to be under Advanced settings on the X server page, do you see such a button ?

(I don't use nvidia. so can't verify myself)

That is the advanced settings page

Lone_Wolf · 2021-09-22 13:22:22

Does it give more options if you deselect one or both of the forcecomposition options ?
