Can't use G-sync
Because of the new Nvidia driver changers, you have to have Vsync enabled for G-sync to work. The problem with this is if you set FPS to unlimited in the settings of the game and with Vsync on in Nvidia Control Panel, the game only runs at max 60fps

The next patch needs to have FPS unlimited to be unlimited even when Vsync is on

100% sure it's been this way since the 1080 came out, your monitor will still show G-sync is on, but it isn't

The changers came about because of the new cards having Fast-Sync

I'm running old Titan X Maxwell, with V-sync off in both game and Nvidia control panel, I'm no longer locked to 60fps but I also don't seem to have Gsync because of the screen tearing and frames going above my monitors 100Hz limit.

With Vsync on in Nvidia control panel, Gsync works but Mafia 3 limits to 60fps even with Unlimited frames enabled

This problem is because this game is limited to 60hz

I've posted the solution for this multiple times - but the people complaining about the issue must think I'm joking or something because so far nobody has responded.

One last time then...

1) Either buy Borderless Gaming here on Steam (costs about $5 - and happens to be a great utility) or download it off the net. (I bought it, because I use it all the time)

2) Run Mafia 3 in a window.

3) Run Borderless Gaming and play Mafia 3 in a borderless Window. Your monitor will refresh above 60Hz when your frame rate climbs above 60FPS.

Make sure, in the Nvidia control panel, to set G-sync for windowed gaming.

(Let me know if this works for you - I've literally posted this solution five times now, and nobody has bothered to try it... I'm not sure why people are asking for help, and then ignoring it?)
