    hello brothers
    so i was playing with DSR 4K res on my AW but with v-sync (on) it just give me 40 FPS but in NVidia settings there is some options like -adaptive- and -on (smooth)- and it says there that -on(smooth)- is better for SLI
    so what should i use ?
    thx

    If Adaptive works, go ahead with that. If not... I'm not sure what would be best.

    I generally avoid anything that NVIDIA calls "adaptive" because that usually equates to erratic behavior or poor performance... just my two cents. Not sure if that applies to adaptive v-sync because I also avoid using v-sync whenever humanly possible. I've had no reason to ever try adaptive v-sync.

    Yes, that is exactly what I mean. I hate v-sync with a passion and never use it unless it is unavoidable, such as Skyrim, which severely malfunctions without v-sync. But, I don't usually play most of those games anyway.
