Thx for the info on NVIDIA support for FreeSync. AMD made FreeSync code open source making it easy to incorporate into their drivers.
I am not familiar with FreeSync or supported monitors. I’ve had success with G-sync precisely because of the large fluctuations in FPS especially a couple of updates ago.
hmm… it should work… I limit in this way to 37.5fps with setting “30” ( its a 75fps monitor ). Are you sure that your monitor has ‘only’ 60Hz ?
If you have 60hz monitor and set Vsync on to 30 in the game you shall get 30fps limit, If you get higher fps you probably use a higher refresh rate than 60 hz, the game use adaptive Vsync.
Hmm. I could have sworn, but after all what you guys wrote here, I am getting second thoughts.
I am traveling atm and will double check tonight. Thanks a lot for the input.
Good to know. I give it another shot. Trying all combinations. FreeSync On, off, In game limit on, off, Nvidia limit on, off.
So… back home and in the “air”… and some first test results.
In-Game - Graphics - VSYNC ON, 20, 30, 60 (while Nvidie GSYNC off): have no effect whatsoever. See screenshot below (which was taken with Vsync ON, 20). It is as it wouldnt even recognize any changes. Even switched to dev. mode to be sure that the built-in xbox windows FPS counter (win + G) is not fooling me.
I guess my sim is unstopable 
Next I will try to play with the Nvidia graphic setting and see if that has any effect.
I would just set Nvidia control panel to default settings then make changes in FS
Thanks. NVIDIA are at their defaults. But changes in MSFS don’t work unfortunately (see tests above. ). Guess Nvidia is the only option left? Any other ideas?
Will test the Nvidia tomorrow
I had this issue, I had to adjust it in the NCP. I think it is a bug, not many experience it I believe but the limit fps option in the game doesn’t work.
can you share the exact type of your samsung monitor ?.. a 1080p 60fps freesync monitor is not usually.
And how is it connected, DP or HDMI ?
Also… I have enabled in nvidia controll center the gsync comp. , but disabled free-sync in monitor`( I enable it when in need, but not for games comes below 40fps, because it is out of freesync range and it flickers then ). Not that this case the issue in your case.
Also… we had a old bug that the vsync works in menu, but not in-flight. I rechecked it already, and it works fine in my case. So don’t see a issue in game.
Samsung U28E590, 4K native resolution, FreeSync. via DP (Primary Screen, where I run MSFS).
BenQ E2200HD, 2K native resolution, No Free/Gsync via HDMI (Secondary Screen for Simbrief, Vatsim, LNFM etc.)
I have Gsync in Nvidia Off and FreeSync On atm, but I already checked the various combinations, it does not affect the In-Game VSYNC settings.
hmmm… both of the monitors have 60Hz.
I just wondered about 1920x1080 in your screenshot, you not play in native 4K ?
I thought it’s may be because of the two screens and I done a testcase and activated my second screen to. But It works fine… exact 37.5fps in my case.
Do you play windowed or fullscreen ?
Yes I play at 2K, my size monitor does not make much a difference with 4K (just too small).
Yes I also had this thought of the two screens affecting each other somehow.
I play fullscreen.
I will try the Nvidia Panel next, that certainly must work. But strange indeed.
Thanks for testing it on your side… really appreciate it.
it’s ok… Full-Hd and 4K can good up-rendered 
so my last idea about possible reason is gone… I play in fullscreen too.
Or… may be it is not the v-sync, more the “settings” problem.
Contains your UserCfg.opt following " VSync 1 " ?
If yes… hmmm… running out of ideas.
Let me check the User.cfg…
So. Used the Nvidia panel to limit FPS. Strangest thing. It did not work. I changed the Nvidia settings during a flight, but maybe I need to shut down and restart the Sim. More tomorrow.
