Do I need to turn off Vsync in-game if I turn it on from the Nvidia CP?

Hi guys,

So I was wondering, whenever I use the Nvidia CP to set the vsync of my game (usually to Adaptive Vsync), do I need to bother with disabling it in game?

I have been taking this for granted and usually do not bother whether Vsync is turned on or off within the game. I just turn on in the CP and play as usual, thinking that the CP settings completely over-ride the in-game settings. However, somebody was telling me earlier that to reap the most out of the Nvidia CP Vsync setting, I need to disable the in-game vsync.

Is there any truth to this at all?

Thank you!

If you want to use adaptive v-sync it is better to turn it off in game. Things like this depends on the game. Sometimes nvidia setting in nvidia control panel will override game string but sometimes it is not. So if you want nvidia control panel to handle the setting it is better to turn it off in game. What Alpha3031 said is more to forcing anti aliasing setting through nvidia control panel but for v-sync the is no override/enhance option in nvidia control panel.

Ok, well I can confirm that irrespective of the in-game settings, Adaptive Vsync override from the NCP always works. What I am actually asking is that behind the scenes, is there any difference with turning it off or leaving it on in-game. Like is there any "extra" performance turning it in-game will bring?
