  1. hi @Dan C Sorry for the late response, did not get a notification somehow. I should have reported back my workaround which is to allow G-sync for full screen apps only, so not for Windowed apps. Most programs that suffer from this problem seem to be based on Electron. Is Affinity Photo also based on Electron, I wonder?
  2. This topic may be a bit old but I want to add my angle to it. I'm on Windows 10 on what can be considered a max-spec machine: i9900K, 2080TI, 32GB DDR4. The machine is hooked up to a 34" wide angle IPS 120Hz G-sync enabled monitor. So hardware-wise, this machine has very little compromises, and you'd expect good to great performance. My monitor has a built-in overlay option that outputs the current FPS. Within Windows, it is overall a steady 120FPS, no matter what you throw at it, it stays at 120FPS. Within games, the FPS is obviously variable, as is the point of G-sync. But there are exceptions. Both Spotify and Affinity Photo show dramatic FPS drops when using them. This user seems to have the exact same problem: ...although the user may be using slightly different hardware. Note that my problem is not flickering, its heavy frame drops. To start with Spotify, FPS drops from 120 to < 10! You can barely move your mouse. Within Affinity Photo, the problem is less severe but definitely there. Even without doing any operation other than moving the mouse, FPS drops into the 20s or 30s. The behavior suggests that it's not a matter of load on the system. I'm basically not doing anything and I'm on ultra powerful hardware, yet still the program stutters like crazy. It stutters badly enough that it makes it very difficult to do anything precise, say a detailed selection or brush action. To indicate that this is not a load or hardware problem, I can work within Lightroom for an hour and not once drop below 120FPS. Even if I intentionally try to overload it by aggressively painting with an adjustment brush on a 40MP photo, nothing happens to the FPS, it stays at a rock steady 120FPS. Lightroom has horrible performance in general but never shows frame drops. It seems Lightroom (and most other programs) consistently "paint" at native FPS (120 in my case) no matter what it is doing in internal processing. This is not what Spotify and Affinity Photo seem to be doing. Anyway, I don't know what the true root cause is, but I'm thinking it may be G-sync related.
