ISSUE: when following the recommended video settings as shown by the CS2 steam support page (https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/418E-7A04-B0DA-9032#reflex), the intended effects only work on D3D11 and not Vulkan.
This can be shown when following the same methods on both D3D11 and Vulkan, namely turning on vsync and then reflex ingame while having gsync on in the NVidia control panel.
For reference, my monitor has a refresh rate of 165 hz, and has FreeSync Premium. Since I am using an NVidia GPU, this means that my monitor is merely G-Sync compatible, not actually G-Sync if that matters.
Here are the screenshots on DX11, with the telemetry showing the frametime and framerate in the top right corner. Alt text shows relevant info.
DX11 (intended/control behavior)



Vulkan (bad behavior); G-Sync's status does not show up in the settings menu.
