I have a Dell Inspiron 7577 laptop. I have some trouble making it sync to V-Blank. The nvidia-settings app doesn’t allow me to Force Full Composition Pipeline, as there is no such option available in the Advanced Settings. That may be related to the fact, that there are actually two GPUs on the system, one of which is Intel’s. The X Server XVideo Settings also shows: Currently synced to display: Unknown.
