GSYNC, VSYNC and frame capping

GSync is a little tricky to set up, and it's easy to miss a step. Here is what to do:

1) Set your monitor to the highest framerate that you can, and enable FreeSync on your monitor.

2) In NVIDIA Settings, turn on GSync for both fullscreen and windowed apps.

3) In NVIDIA Settings, go to "Manage 3D Settings" and turn on VSync. (This is the step that many people miss.)

4) If your game supports a frame rate cap, then cap it slightly below your monitor refresh rate. For example, if your monitor is set to 144 Hz, then cap it at 140 Hz. If your game doesn't allow a frame rate cap, then use the NVIDIA Settings to cap it.

5) In your game, turn off VSync.

6) Somewhere in the NVIDIA Settings there is way to display "GSync" on the monitor when it's activated. Turn that on, and make sure it shows up while playing games. Then turn it off once you know it's working. (It's too annoying to keep on.)

7) Keep an eye on your frame rate while playing. It should never exceed your frame rate cap.

Hopefully this will fix your flickering! Let us know how it goes. :)
