As title suggests. Without any warning gsync is disabled by this app.

Is this is intended? its a very cheap kind of thing to do. What if i like gsync?

Hi,

This behavior is entirely intended, but the culprit isn't actually CapCut it’s your NVIDIA graphics driver.

G-Sync works beautifully for games by matching your monitor’s refresh rate directly to the frame rate of the application. However, creative apps like CapCut, Premiere, or even web browsers have user interfaces that only render new frames when something on the screen changes (like moving a slider or playing a video clip).

If you aren't doing anything, the app's frame rate drops to 0 or 5 FPS. If G-Sync tried to adapt to that, your monitor's refresh rate would wildly swing up and down, causing severe screen flickering, stuttering, and lagging animations.

To prevent this, NVIDIA explicitly builds profiles into its drivers that automatically force creative applications to run on a Fixed Refresh Rate, temporarily overriding your global G-Sync settings while the app is active.

Turn G-Sync back on for CapCut

If you want to use G-Sync anyway, you can easily override NVIDIA's automatic block. Just keep an eye out for any screen flickering while you edit.

1.Open NVIDIA Control Panel:

Desktop.

Right-click an empty space on your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.

2.Navigate to 3D Settings:

Left Sidebar.

Under the "3D Settings" drop-down menu on the left side of the window, click on Manage 3D Settings.

3.Find CapCut's Profile:

Program Settings Tab.

Click on the Program Settings tab (next to Global Settings). Under the dropdown menu labeled "Select a program to customize", find CapCut.

If CapCut isn't in the list, click the Add button next to it, find CapCut from your recently opened apps, and select it.

4.Override Monitor Technology:

Apply Settings.

Scroll down through the feature list until you find Monitor Technology. Click the drop-down menu next to it and change it from Fixed Refresh Rate to G-SYNC / G-SYNC Compatible. Click Apply in the bottom right corner.

The "Best of Both Worlds" Alternative

If overriding CapCut causes your screen to flicker, there is a cleaner way to keep G-Sync active for your games without letting desktop apps mess with your refresh rate:

In the NVIDIA Control Panel, go to Set up G-SYNC on the left menu.
Change the setting from "Enable for full screen and windowed mode" to Enable for full screen mode only.

This ensures G-Sync stays entirely dormant while you are working in windowed desktop apps like CapCut, but kicks in seamlessly the moment you launch a game in exclusive full-screen mode.
