G-Sync on Blade 15" mid-2019 Base model- GTX 1660 Ti | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

Hello, 

I am using Razer Blade 15”- mid 2019- Base model. I’m trying to connect it to LG monitor and trying to turn on G-sync on my laptop, but I don’t have that option available.

  1. I tried looking into BIOS setup menu so I can change GPU from integral intel graphics to descrete Nvidia graphics, but there is no mention of GPU in the menu.
  2. I tried using different configuration but I can’t seem to get the Advance Optimus option available in Nvidia contreol panel.
  3. I reached out to Nvidia tech. Support. they asked few file sfrom me and ended up saying that I need to reach out to my laptop manufacturer
  4. Few things that should appear in my Nvidia Control panel is not there; for example: “Manage Display mode” which allows me to choose which GPU to run my display on and “Display settings” which has G-sync option as sub-setting. Please try seaching it on Google and you’ll know what I’m talking about. I tried many thing that I find online and as Nvidia Tech Support suggested me.

I saw one thread here (Razer Insider-Support Forums) mentioning the same thing as me, maybe using different series GPU (RTX series) and using external monitor. But it had only one reply and I couldn’t see the conclusion as it was changed to private conversation.

I’m using LG 32” gaming monitor which is G-sync compatible.

I play so many games on Blade 15 and I get very nice FPS but once I start connecting this monitor the FPS dropped significantly. I may need to sell the monitor or laptop if this doesn’t work out well.

Is there any way to enable the G-sync option in the laptop I’m using? if there is please let me know. 

I already found the solution for this. Posting answer if anybody else had this issue:

I went to device manager and saw that my NVIDIA GPU is dedicated to only USB-C and USB 3.1.

So I decided to order a Display port to USB-C cable and try it out. It worked.

I was using my LG monitor through Docking station at first and that was the issue. My GPU wasn’t detecting that because it wasn’t connected to NVIDIA dedicated ports.

If you are having same issue then try cheking it out on device manager. Run->devmgmt.msc. Got to Universal Serial Bus controllers and see which ports are dedicated to NVIDIA GPU.
