I did some testing with & without upscaling here but it seems to work fine. Are you noticing the indicator disappearing or do you have performance issues as well?

My monitor has an "fps" indicator which directly indicates if gsync is working or not.
It just stayed at 240 the entire time indicating gsync wasn't working.
I've just tested with the nvidia gsync indicator, and it does disappear.

I think it might be limited to 3 monitor setups. Like just stuff that makes MPO not work. ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#13 Tue, 20 May 2025 14:39:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#13 DisplayFusion I did some testing with & without upscaling here but it seems to work fine.

The marvels of bleeding edge technology.
It doesn't matter if u enable the indicator before or after. gsync just doesn't work.
I'm also a triple monitor user, and I hadn't realized it was DF causing some of my games to have this issue.
If you close the right taskbar. OR if you move right taskbar to the side. OR disabling one monitor.

According to the Special K discord DF taskbar causes the games to go into composed flip.
Someone theorized the taskbar slightly overlaps the main monitor? I'm not sure if it's true.

I can't get it to happen right now without upscaling my main monitor using DSDLR to 4k, but I swear it also happens without. because I remember this issue with cod and disabling my left monitor would work, but it was finnicky.

1440p 1440p (240hz) 1440p
but middle one is scaled to 4k at the minute.

I tried lies of P, cod warzone, and hunt showdown, for this little testing

Win11 24H2 (26100.3775)

nvidia 5080

I'm no expert on these things, but now that I think about it maybe my COD issue was with my 3080.
I've read that MPO is buggy, maybe this is the cause. the 50 series have improved support for DSC that my main monitor uses so it has MPO enabled according to Special k, however if I use DSDLR to 4k then there's only 1 MPO plane/disabled. Perhaps it's related. ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#11 Wed, 09 Apr 2025 14:26:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#11 DisplayFusion That sounds like explorer refreshing as well, have you tried re-enabling the indicator after you have 3 monitors enabled? ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#10 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 00:17:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#10 DisplayFusion I have exactly the same problem. With 3 monitors connected and display fusion taskbars, rtx hrd is disabled, but it will work if i power off one of the monitors. So the problem only occurs with 3 monitors. ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#9 Thu, 13 Feb 2025 16:08:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#9 DisplayFusion It might just be explorer refreshing when the taskbar gets added that causes it.

My second screen is a "business" 60Hz screen with no gaming features but has the DisplayFusion taskbar on. I hear that the newer Nvidia app would not allow me to try RTX HDR with this mix of monitors, so I have no idea about that. ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#7 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:52:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#7 DisplayFusion No I do not have monitor fading

One thing I didn't mention is I am using 3 monitors, 2 gsync compatible with 1 gsync ultimate, main one at 175hz and other 2 at 165hz with a displayfusion taskbar on each of the non-main ones

Could this affect it in any way?

I found out just now that even if display fusion is disabled but I ENABLE windows multi-taskbar (show taskbar on all displays), it does the same thing in not enabling gsync and rtx hdr. What could be the issue? ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#6 Wed, 12 Feb 2025 14:49:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#6 DisplayFusion Ah, I tested out the Gsync indicator here and it seemed to work fine regardless of DisplayFusion running or not. What game are you testing it with?

Also do you have monitor fading enabled in DisplayFusion? ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#5 Tue, 11 Feb 2025 19:09:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#5 DisplayFusion I have the gsync indicator that'll show when it's active (green in the top right corner) and it doesn't show up unless displayfusion is disabled

for RTX HDR it's pretty obvious since the brightness and contrast are much greater when it's on versus just the standard SDR ]]> RE: GSYNC / RTX HDR doesn't work unless display fusion is closed or hidden (in compatibility) https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#4 Tue, 11 Feb 2025 18:25:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/gsync-rtx-hdr-doesnt-work-unless-display-fusion-is-closed-or-hidden-in-compatibility/?ID=0194e8ef-e32d-7613-8d00-bd14d130fa6c#4 DisplayFusion Yeah is it lower and/or flucting up and down?
