Using this one from Bay gets high reviews from rainforest
NEW V2.0 PREMIUM HDMI Cable HD High Speed 4K UltraHD 2160p 3D Lead

Thanks but it needs to be DP as that is the only connection on my monitor. Love my monitor as well, so not an option to swap it out sadly.

It has to be a lead issue. I paid £30+ for the last startech and thought that would sort it but Neil is using a 1.5M lead without issue, so maybe I need a different lead. I can get away with a 2M lead (will be coming across my desk so not ideal) but I could do with Matt telling me the exact lead to get.

Both several AOC monitors and the ROG Swift are not using VESA standard timings, hence the problem with AMD cards ... or is this another issue?

Thats what I was abut to say to whyscotty only I couldn't fully think of the correct way to put it.. This is why I always thought ROG swift didnt work with AMD. but whyscotty is working fine.

Congrats on the card Greg.

I'm not sure if the timings vary per-monitor which may explain it? I'm not too familiar with these things.

Greg, have you tried tweaking the timings as described here? https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthre...z-flickering-on-ROG-Swift-PG278Q-with-R9-290X

Honestly this goes well outside my knowledge of monitor tech

Silent_Scone · 30 Jun 2015 at 13:14

Changing the EDID very well might work, it's likely the Swift uses some trick CR timings

I tried that on the 290X and didn't help unfortunately. It must be a lead issue and the first lead I had would flicker badly at 120Hz to a point it was a solid black screen. I tried the one that came with the monitor and the same, so I bought a better quality Startech cable and that works for a few seconds and then black screen, works again, black screen but not as bad as the first 2.

I am betting if I get a 1.2 DP cable that is good quality, that would help. Slightly annoyed that the damned capture card has wasted most of my morning and now I need to get ready for work

Oh well, I can play tonight for a bit.

Thanks for the help as well chaps. All help is welcomed.

Just ran Blur Busters to confirm

Gregster · 30 Jun 2015 at 13:21

**** off Neil lol

Gregster · 30 Jun 2015 at 13:24

Anyways, first impressions of the card are good. No whine and everything works nicely. Very quiet when gaming (albeit not had much chance to game yet) and very cool temps. Small card as well and looks smart.

Pics are all done but keeping them for my review in a few days. Some proper testing needed but looks like the 4K capture card is going back and I will stick with the Avermedia external capture card which does the same job and more efficient.

Try the EDID timing fix at ROG you troglodyte

I see now, Gregster only bought a Fury X to have an excuse asking for help with the 120Hz problem

Humm looking at

You could easy make (read 3d print) a new cover-plate that presses down on the chokes, and probably kill most of the coil whine.

If i had a Fury X i would make one and put the STL's online

Scougar · 30 Jun 2015 at 15:04

Please stop with the coil whine references, it isn't coil whine, it is pump noise.
