I'm not sure if it's feasible, but I currently have two monitors. While gaming on the main one, I use trading sites on the second. It's hard to pause the game and move the cursor to the other display without it minimizing unexpectedly. I'm looking for a solution or any tips! Thanks!

Set the window style to allow smooth cursor movement between screens without fixing the mouse.

Never considered it before, though I’m not entirely certain. It seems my G-sync monitor might prevent windowed mode, and I believe games need fullscreen to function properly.

Check in the NVidia control panel to make sure that g-sync is configured to work with windowed apps as well as fullscreen. One thing to note is that you can only have one active window at a time so after clicking on your trading client, you'll have to click on the game to get control of it again. This is a limitation of practically all window managers.

This was accurate at its initial release, but it functions in windowed mode now thanks to updated drivers.

I recall not being able to use windowed mode initially when I began using this device. Appreciate the details!

I have 2 monitors and i play in Borderless in order to move my cursor to the other screen.If u want to use the V-sync u have to make Full Screen ..no other way to do this.Although just a regular Alt+Tab works in Full Screen but it will minimize the game or with some particular games it will switch them to Windowed mode.

It doesn't seem gsync is affected by that issue. In fact, it appears to have been a benefit for gsync compared to FreeSync before FreeSync matched its capabilities.
