I believe FAH not working correctly is a known bug; it was mentioned by Manuel with regards to the previous driver, and since this is a hotfix driver related to the screen flickering it's unlikely this was fixed yet.

I heard about incorrect points output, not units failing immediately. I expect very little from Nvidia with regards to driver quality these days - and that's sad.

It all makes sense now, and if I am going to use GSync, I will remember to enable frame cap or vsync. 



IMHO for twitch games that you get consistent 144+ FPS you want to use ULMB mode not G-sync. ULMB gets you the best latency and a lot less blur than g-sync.

Off topic, just checked my 980ti's Asic quality, rather blown away 85.8%


Which brand gpu?

GM200

PPPFFFHHHH, that is awesome!  Imagine, you could have paid almost $300 more and got a K|ngp|n, lol.  85.8 is one of the highest I have heard of.. only heard of one 89.

ULMB?  I need to research this one. I am not familiar with it.

Ultra low motion blur. Your PG278Q has it.

Had to go through the menu and reset everything, for some reason it was greyed out.  I have it working now.  Thank you both.

You are supposed to be able to set either G-sync or ULMB mode per program via the Nvidia control panel, though it can be a little funky sometimes. Not sure if it is a bug or by design but it only auto enables if your refresh rate is 120 Hz. See the top post here for a potential workaround to get it working auto switch: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nvidiahelp/comments/48oaor/gsync_ulmb_and_pergame_profiles/
 
Otherwise if you do G-sync at 120 Hz per app profile ULMB should work.

FattysGoneWild and Demo. Thank you both greatly. I had no idea they had changed Vsync to off. It all makes sense now, and if I am going to use GSync, I will remember to enable frame cap or vsync. I sincerely apologize for the first few posts where I didn't understand what was being said, and appreciate you all for helping.



Scarlet, it's recommended to have GSync ON + VSync ON in the Nvidia control panel (GLOBAL settings). From what I've read, this is different than VSync on in-game where it only kicks on when you exceed the refresh rate of your monitor rather than all the time.
NVCP - GS + VS on
In-game - VS off
 
This is what I do anyways and it works fine for me.

Never noticed the flicker thing so I cant comment on that, but these definitely fixed the gif artifacts for me. However my card will not downclock at 165hz anymore. 144hz yes, it downclocks all the way. 165hz it only drops that 1 'tick' down to about 1200mhz (instead of like 200 or whatever). This wasn't a problem with the previous version I had.
 
Regarding G-SYNC + VSYNC: if you are a gamer you should turn VSYNC off and limit your frames a few below your monitors refresh rate. Otherwise you are introducing rather substantial input lag. That is the reason they separated the options in the first place. Read more about it here: http://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/preview2/
 

(chart is labeled poorly but it is showing ms latency, and GSYNC+VSYNC in any situation where your FPS exceeds your refresh rate is a substantial hit)
