I updated Mint and added Nvidia drivers. The driver interface feels very different from Windows. On display settings I see up to 165Hz (Vsync), while Nvidia settings let me pick 165Hz and enable Gsync. When testing blur bursts and the UFO Test, it caps at 60Hz and says Vsync isn’t available on Linux. Questions: 1. How can I disable Linux Vsync? 2. How do I properly turn on Gsync? 3. How can I confirm it functions correctly?

I've got the control panel installed and functioning, though I'm uncertain if it's applying properly since the UFO test isn't supported on Linux. Also, it appears Linux enforces Vsync at over 60Hz.
