Can't enable Half Refresh Rate in Nvidia Control Panel anymore. Using Helios 300 (PH317-51)

Hi all,

I've been using Half Refresh Rate option in Nvidia Control Panel with Nvidia drivers which arrived with the laptop but I had to update the drivers because NVENC stopped working in OBS as I described here:

https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/580848/which-1050-ti-drivers-for-acer-predator-helios-300-ph317-51

Later I updated the drivers one more time and now I can't anymore enable the Half Refresh Rate option - there is only "Use the 3D application setting", ON and OFF under Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > Global Settings > Vertical sync

Did they remove that option from the drivers or something is wrong?

For your Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH317-51) with a GeForce 1050 Ti, it's advisable to use the latest NVIDIA drivers directly from NVIDIA's website rather than relying on the outdated Acer drivers unless you are facing some issue wiwith New nvidia drivers. The NVIDIA versioning system differs from Acer's; for example, the driver version 21.21.13.7689 corresponds to an older NVIDIA version around 384.x.

Regarding the Half Refresh Rate option, recent driver updates may have altered or removed this feature. If it’s no longer available, consider using NVIDIA Profile Inspector to set "1/2 VSync" instead of relying on the standard control panel settings for better performance. Of you don't know how to use then search it on youtube or Google as there are many guides for it.
