Hi All,

Just got a new GL502VS today, and I'm noticing some very low FPS in games such as WoW, Civ 6, even in Heaven benchmark.

Things seem to be locked at 30/40 FPS. Is this related to something with GSync? Should it be turned off? Or am I missing another setting that might unlock some higher frame rates on this computer.

Thanks Everyone!

Make sure your laptop is plugged into the wall when you're gaming or running GPU intensive benchmarks.

Turn off G-Snyc.
Also use "High performance" profile in windows power options.

Well, turning off GSync helped quite a bit, in Heaven and in WoW. Need to test Civ some more.

Is keeping Gsync on though a smart move? Or does it not really matter.

Thanks Everyone!

I had to remove all of the NVIDIA driver/software off my machine using programs and features. Using the clean install function doesn't have the desired effect. Then I downloaded and installed the 375.95 driver from NVIDIA and used the express install option. It seems if you upgrade/clean install over the top of the factory installed driver or it persists some odd setting that makes it cap at 30FPS. Hope this works for you.
