Seems like they either have inconsistent quality or it went down over time. My 6-7 years old g502 is from a mechanical standpoint in perfect shape, I’ve just worn out the rubber sides and had to replace its feet once. I’d even say it’s seeing fairly heavy use considering I use it for both work and gaming.

I have no clue. If it were up to me I’d enable it by default or have some dialog popup after you first connect a new gsync capable screen where you could set it up.

Tech illiterate people are screwed either way because windows will leave their high refresh rate screens at 60Hz (unless something has changed).

I just checked, it’s 5 (or 6 if it’s not your main display) clicks to enable gsync, nothing hard.

1. Click on “show hidden icons” (bottom right thingy in the taskbar to roll out list with NV control panel, idk how it is called)
2. Click on Nvidia control panel
3. Click on setup gsync from the left list from display group (another click to select the correct screen possibly)
4. Click on enable gsync at the top
5. Click apply and you are done. Compared to setting up lightboost on screens that officially only support it in 3D this is simple.
