If I recall correctly the other options would disable G-Sync so the screen would flicker every time you switched applications. Disallow has the same effect but G-Sync is still kept active so the screen doesnt flicker.
Can I ask why you would keep G-Sync disabed by default? Doesnt make a lot of sense to me.
I think I posted earlier in the thread, and on blurbusters, but basically I was noticing stutter in a large number of games that were locked at 60fps (very, very noticeable in Bioshock 1 and 2). Soon as I set them to Fixed Refresh Rate, they were butter smooth.
Turns out the 'G-sync version' of v-sync which you encounter when the game hits the monitor refresh rate, is indeed prone to this kind of microstutter, but it's only (or mostly) noticable at lower refresh rates (such as on my 60hz 4k screen), which is why it's not widely reported, because most G-sync users are running 144hz.
Now I was able to mitigate that by locking the frame-rate at 57fps so they never hit v-sync, but I thought why bother? 90% of the games I play remain locked at 60, so I'll just set a profile for those I actually want G-sync on.
