I assumed but forgot to mention; none of the above tweaks/tests had any effect on erasing the tearing of frames while playing the game. Tearing is noticable so I didn't got G-sync working (yet).

No game has to support g-sync, Maybe you shopuld read up on the tech you buy..
Has absolutly nothing to do with the individual game, about your gfx card sync with the monitor,

I've read upon the tech I bought, maybe you shouldn't assume that much and read better yourself?
Take the following link:
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/g-sync/faq

"Q: Does NVIDIA G-SYNC work for all games?
A: NVIDIA G-SYNC works with all games. However, we have found some games that do not behave well and for those, we recommend that users take advantage of our control panel’s ability to disable G-SYNC per game. Games that NVIDIA discovers that have trouble with G-SYNC will be disabled by default in our driver."

Apparantly it does has examples of games where it doesn't work well. In this case if it doesn't work well, it apparantly hasn't be cleared on the "what's to do list" when ESO was developed so in that case I assume it isn't supported.

it was more designed for people that wanted to run over 60hrz (e.g.120 / 240)

No, because if it's designed for >60hz, then why is Gsync on most monitors enabled starting from 30hz?

bennysbeastb16_ESO2 wrote: »

and more specifically 3D gaming, as standard tvs can only do 24hrz in 3D

No and NO. Standard TV"s have a refresh rate starting at 50hz on input. This is before any motion technology stuff comes into play. And who the hell plays PC-games on a television? Monitors are generally used for desktops/laptops which have a refreshratio of 60hz atleast for years now.

Biggest money making product Nvidia flogged out..

No, no and no.
The very first HDMI 1.0 already supported 1920x1200 @ 60hz, get your facts straight; it's not that hard to use wikipedia right?
And the most important reason of Gsync and any variable refresh ratio lies in the fact that your GPU can directly communicate with the Monitor so tearing is all avoided and no bufferframes are needed (thus less input lag and less stress is put onto the gpu)
It's common that even with the highest hardware you get framedrops. That is where variable refreshrate comes into play and makes 3D stuff way more smooth. Because you have no tearing at the almost lowest input lag.

Oh and the reason you pay so much for it? Patents. It's modern economics and R&D that you pay for. But ofcourse you can wait years/decades before it becomes an open concept for free ofcourse.

** oo and your 970 will not prodcue any of the frames needed, to go higher than 60 fps..** - trust me, i have 980ti...
Only card you going to see full capablility would be 1080ti, and even then, people are reporting massive frame drops, 120- 45..

Ehr, I'm running 970 gtx in SLI. That means I run two of these puppies and I see my average fps of ESO between 40-99 fps (since I limited minframe time).
And to set things straight, the moment you go above the refresh ratio of the monitor, GSYNC simply doesnt activate and will give tearing since it pushes through extra parts of a newer frame over the last completed frame. Unless you activate Vsync but you would go for variable refreshrate to avoid Vsync in the first place.

I think you should read up your stuff because you have no clue what you're talking about.

I have an XB270HU with Gsync and ESO runs smooth as butter MOST of the time.

I do however get occasional frame drops to 20ish, which from what I have read is most likely an issue with the latest expansion Morrowind. Unfortunately I cannot really compare against anything pre Morrowind since I only came back to the game the day before it released.

FWIW.....

ok try reading without taking it nasty ;D

it basically does the same as normal tv/monitor at 60 hrz, as most standard tvs and monitor don't go above that, their isn't a big difference, all your monitor is doing is sending a message to the card for the frame, were normally the card just send them to monitor without it asking, yes u can encounter frame stutter, but generally at 60hrz u wont,, simple as that..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8dnhFZKmM
check that link ull c at 60hrz vsync/gsync/none .. their isnt a difference visually to the eye...
but when u start to go above those refresh rates, that when your gsync will shine,.. again caus no tv or standard monitor go above 60. Gsync give you the that option..

in response to motion rubbish, that when tvs state they can do 120hrz/240hrz, nothing to do with what i was stating.. if you check a 3d tv capabilities they can only run at 24hrz 3D regardless, i know cause i own one.. my point was hdmi 2.0 is only cable that can support bandwith of going above 24hrz in 3D..
http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/hdmi-2-0-vs-1-4
little link above it.. but no relevant to your issue ;D, just prove im talkign sh*t as you call it

in consideration why do u think nvidia disclose that it might not work will all games?, when only difference is your monitor sending a message to gfx card asking a response for the frame.. ill leave you work that one out ;D
and again 2 sli 970s arent even close to 980ti, which cant produce 120fps in anything,,, rendering the gsync useless for normal consumers.. which was my point..

and the reason people play on tvs is .. who wouldnt want to enjoy 48" of ESO, and using dsr enable 4k gfx, you enjoy your 30" screen dude ;D
but this is going nowhere on helping you with issue, best advice i give you; would be 1080ti, and then see the gsync truly shine.

Update* Apparantly Gsync acts like Vsync when going over the cap. It then holds frames into the pipeline introducing Vsync like lag. So I'm not sure whether he enabled or disabled vsync but going over the cap or the monitor refreshrate does brings back more input lag. Exactly the thing you want to avoid when going for gsync on an high end machine.

So I've tested Alternate Frame Settings 1, Single GPU and then switched back to the standard SLI setup and you know what happened? No bloody tearing on the last one!

Performance on AF1 and Single where drastically less, most probably since the resolution (3440x1440) is quite heavy for a single 970 but together in SLI toggled on the standard one it apparantly does work! No more tearing!

It makes no sense other than that GSync was turned off by the drivers for whatever reason but switching modes apparantly resetted it!

I'll check the Nvidia fora if ever such problem comes to mind again. Apparantly it wasn't something purely from the side from ESO and most likely is more a driver/Nvidia issue.

P.S. Apologies if I came out a bit harsh earlier today. It's bloody annoying if you got a >1grand monitor and stuff doesn't work properly because of something silly

Apparantly the issue does still persist. The earlier post where I stated the problem was solved because of switching several modes of SLI was false.

Compared to other games who run on roughly the same framerates, there is an abundantly clear difference that Gsync isn't working on this 21:9 monitor.

Any technical information from ZOS would be most welcome.

hmmm, just been looking at buying a g-sync uw monitor... will deo rethink and maybe try AMD now...
