Thanks for the reply
I just did some testing and enabled the G-Sync overlay in the Nvidia Control panel.
With d3d12 selected as Video Driver I see the familiar G-sync overlay as shown here in Retroarch
and here in game
When i use gl as the Video driver, there is a different looking overlay
and here in game
And I can assure you that even though it shows G sync is on with gl mode, I am getting an incredible amount of tearing while d3d12 looks amazing.
Do I need to do something with my drivers?
Is there anything I should look for settings wise? Nothing weird about my setup...just a very clean win 10 install. I don't really fiddle with graphics settings. LaunchBox is set to use gl by default and I had to change that almost immediately because of the tearing.
