Forced Fullscreen Vsync

Anonymous

So I hate Vsync and always always always have it disabled period. I have a 60hz msi gt70 with a 680m nvidia card and used to get 100-120 fps in games using fraps. Upon installing windows 10 my fps in all games has been capped to 60fps.

After searching all over the interwebs my best bet was the xbox DVR function which has been disabled to no effect. Nothing seems to be working for me so I finally broke down and decided to post here.

So to recap..

1: vsync/gsync disabled in all sources

2: Xbox DVR disabled

3: nvidia drivers are up to date with yesterdays 358.50 patch

Still my frames are capped to 60fps

I would really appreciate anyone that has even the slightest fresh idea as to whats wrong since I seem to be the only person online with this problem.

    Thanks for the reply.  Can't say I appreciate being in the overlooked class.  So, buyer beware if you're in the market for a new laptop that have both integrated video and a discrete graphics chip.  Coincidentally, those that go with a gsync model will only have one gpu since that's a condition of its functionality and will apparently be unaffected.

    so that leaves the worst case scenario for the rest of us: an inhibiting condition that only affects a portion of us therefore lacking a large awareness that could encourage a remedy.  I would spread the word to those considering optimus capable laptops.  Optimus saves energy and shouldn't penalize users with less display options should they consider more energy efficient devices.

    Any hope that Microsoft can consider the rest of us (encourage "Green" right?) and provide a way that unlocked frame rates would be allowed in laptops that have both integrated video and a discrete graphics chips moving forward?   Or are we forced into a rollback to windows 7?  

    Thanks again, hope this will be addressed for "all" windows 10 users moving forwards.  Please allow us the option/choice.

    Drivers are up to date and properties have vsync off and also gsync or any other synchronization is selected off as well.  in addition vsync is selected off in the applications properties and even in exclusive full screen mode I'm still getting a synchronized frame rate. 

    So can you confirm to me windows 10 is capable of allowing me to truly turn all forms of frame rate synchronization off or is some built in service (like desktop windows manager, etc) preventing a true sync-free display?

    (windows 7 we could disable aero and get around this kind of interference, but what's the issue now in 10? Or is it the same issue and we just can't disable it anymore?   if the latter please have it addressed )

    I am still struggling with this and seem to have it with anything above dx9. At this point Im just hoping a new windows update will magically fix it. ;)

    Bump..

    I have the same problem on an Asus laptop, i73537U and Nvidia 740m. I've tried clean installation after checked the v-sync was off without any solution.

    Do someone have any possible solution to this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    I've read those comment threads too, although in my case the opposite behavior holds true: Windowed=Vsync off; Fullscreen=Vsync on, regardless of driver or game settings.
