well now I'm worried and confused, I'm always run my monitor with G-sync enable... Didn't know that was a negative thing for my display or my video cards, I been running my setup like this for almost a year... should I stop doing that and follow this tutorial? 
 
I have a ROG swift PG278Q and 2X 980 SLI... 


Do you see G-SYNC randomly shut off when you get out of a application that is using full screen?


In my case the G-sync it's always on, I haven't seen the G-sync light goes to another color, in desktop mode, while gaming, or watching movies

It's really up to you. Do you mind letting the g-sync module run 24/7? If not, don't worry about it. If so, do the tutorial.

Maybe this will stop my 110 FPS cap in games/benches at 2560x1440 in SLI mode?

I doubt it as this only affects g-sync on the desktop.

@Sajin Since recently disabling G-Sync (which I hadn't in a long time) to run Firestrike benchmark I noticed my PG3448Q power led was white. It then occurred to me that I have not seen the white led and rather the red led (G-Sync ON) on the desktop for all this time. 
 
Is it by design that G-Sync should be turned off on the desktop? What is responsible for keeping G-Sync on on the desktop? Is an Nvidia driver issue or something else? Perhaps an issue with the G-Sync module/monitors instead? 
 
Edit: Can't find nvgsyncdetours.dll. This is quite old, is there a newer method?

G-sync use to stay off on the desktop until nvidia changed it to stay on all the time. This workaround makes it work like it did before nvidia changed things.

Maybe. I'll have to look into it.

Is there any reason why they did this? Are there any negative effects to having the G-Sync module running constantly?

What are the negatives of GSync running on the desktop, and how can I tell if this issue affects me? Addressing these two questions in the OP would have been helpful as providing random instructions to people who might not be aware of this issue is a cause for some unnecessary confusion.
