So this changes the settings of the monitor on the hardware side and not the software side? So basically this will have to apply to all games correct?

One question that I really still dont know the answer to. Do I enable V-Sync in game and G-Sync in nVidia CP? Or if I enable G-Sync in NVCP then I have to disable the V-Sync in games? I personally find running G-Sync and V-sync in games to be smoother.

You want - G-Sync - ON, Vsync - ON (in Nvidia Panel), and Vsync - OFF (in games).  This way lets Nvidia control panel worry about Vsync and it only enables it if the game exceeds your monitor's refresh rate.  So from 30fps-144fps it uses G-Sync but above 144 it disables g-sync and turns on v-sync (to avoid tearing).  Basically they should call it frame rate cap instead of V-Sync (in the control panel setting) as you can't have V-Sync and G-Sync run at the same time since V-Sync is not variable.
 
One thing you CAN do to get the color settings to stick is to run the game in border-less windowed mode instead of Fullscreen - and make sure G-Sync is enabled for windowed and fullscreen mode...  Again not all games support this either.
 

So the V-Sync in nVidia control panel acts as a frame rate limiter and the one in game act as a full V-Sync?

Not sure, you are going to have to play around.
Was this tool on your DVD and came with your Monitor?
 
It also has Wake Up Issues so that you know.

Not compatible with S2716DG AFAIK.
 
FYI - from nVidia: "Please note that some games and applications will override calibrations and Control Panel tweaks. To workaround this problem, you can try CPKeeper and Color Sustainer." http://www.geforce.com/wh...calibrate-your-monitor

Correct - NVCP one only enables V-Sync if you go over 144Hz.  If you turn the one in game on it will lock the monitor to 30/60/120/144Hz and not allow it to be variable.

I just used the drivers disk that came with it. It has only manuals and the .inf and the ICC profile. No other software came with it.

I am not as fast as you are at typing

I have not tried their CPKeeper or Color Sustainer suggestions as I hadn't seen them before I just posted.  I do plan on trying them though - please let us know how it works if you try em out first!

Wait so which V-Sync I enable at the NVCP? There are so many types!
