Native g-sync monitor is "unvalidated"

Graphics / Linux Linux

Today I replaced my old monitor with a new one. It’s a ViewSonic XG270QG. It’s a native G-sync monitor with a G-sync module, not just “g-sync compatible.” But I can’t enable g-sync and nvidia-settings says:

G-SYNC Mode Available: G-SYNC Unvalidated
G-SYNC Mode Enabled: No

Works fine on Windows 10. The Windows driver detected the display immediately as native g-sync.

My previous monitor (also native g-sync, a ViewSonic XG2703-GS) worked just fine on Linux.

I’m using DisplayPort, not HDMI.

I have a similar setup but with an Alienware AW3821dw ,

  • firmware M0B101
  • Driver 550.107.02
  • nvidia RTX 4070 Ti

also have the status : G-SYNC Unvalidated

I sent the monitor back and bought a “G-SYNC compatible” one instead that lacks a g-sync module. Works fine now.

This is insane. “G-sync compatible” works out of the box white native g-sync displays don’t . And zero support from Nvidia to their paying customers. Neither here, nor in my other support requests on this forum.

Good job.

My G-SYNC module display works fine (when not using multi monitor 🙃)…
