Is anyone able to confirm/reproduce this problem?

It's really annoying, especially for DXVK :-/

Quoting: GuestThere is no reason to use vsync. Especially with low end gpus with low frame rates. Vsync is often disabled in the game default settings.
I don't get the point of your answer. There are (and I have) reasons to use v-sync, otherwise I would never have report this problem. And I don't think I'm using a low-end GPU actually.

Sorry but I'm looking for a more useful answer than "Problem with vsync? Just don't use it.".

Yeah, also think it's a driver issue, which is why I first reported the problem on the NVIDIA Developer Forums. And then, I shared the link here to see if "Is anyone able to confirm/reproduce this problem?".
Of course I know that I can disable v-sync or Vulkan in some cases, but this will not fix the issue itself. I really want the NVIDIA driver to be as good as possible.

But anyway, thanks for your suggestion, I'll try with other present modes such as VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR, if possible.
