Guys quick question. I ordered the rog swift yesterday and I just noticed that my 690 has a mini dp... My damn luck. I don't want to bump into any kind of resolution or refresh rate problems so is there a tested cable or adaptor to use? I assume it has to be v1.2 right?

There is no such thing as a DP or miniDP 1.2 cable. They all are and any should work. With some monitors some cheaper cables can cause issues such as signal drop etc. I would recommend StarTech MiniDP to DP cables (6ft). I am using one with the SWIFT right now.

Got fed up with Waiting for the 4k Acer G-sync monitor so bought the swift today ...
What type of display port cable comes with it .. std one that'll fit in a GtX 980 or the Mini DP

It comes with a standard cable. I have the gtx 970 and it fit mine okay that has a standard display port.

Excellent!thanks guys
being delivered Tomorrow can't wait to go back to 1440p
would have liked to go back to 4K but don't think i can justify punting another 500 notes on a 2nd 980 ...Just yetIf you want 120fps+ in FPS games at 1440p go with the 970s.
Thanks dude, have you run into any major issues with your SLI config?
Not after updating the BIOS on my RIVE. Although I can only run my cards in gaming mode (medium OC) if I want BF4 stable, OC mode seems to cause TDRs in BF4 for me.
I run SLI 780's with this and haven't had any problems so far. Also -
How good is this monitor. Was a little paranoid buying one because I have a U27HM but wow it feels so much better. Best purchase so far this year.

I can second this... the Swift plus 970 SLI combo is unstoppable
My Spec isn't as high as Hazard's but everything is silky smooth for me

I see the price has gone back up..
Sucks as I've told myself I'll order as soon as they're 599!

I think it all depends when Acer sorts out their supply channels
I think it's going to be sooner rather than later, watch the 'This Weekend' and 'Today only' deals Uncle Gibbo may be tempted to do some deals as he's been hoarding the stock

Received mine today .. mn i have missed 1440p!! stunning display but the base is massive so on my small desk i feel like im sitting on top of it lol
Well I caved and got oneWhat a stunning display! I'm only running a single 780 GTX, would I really benefit that much getting a second for SLI?
Depends what you play.
a single is perfectly fine but then ocuk did some great 780 deals so thought why not and added a second.
Yes - the base is a lot deeper than on most monitors. It brings the screen closer to my eyes than I'd like too, and my desk isn't really all that small.
