    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    Nvidia writes in their known issues: "Black screen on BenQ ZOWIE XL2730 when refresh rate set to 144Hz -> Recommend setting refresh rate to 120Hz due to off spec timing in EDID." Benq also had a kind of maintenance tool online for their monitors, but they pulled it back. Maybe interesting for...

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    Spoke too early, like every new day I am stuck at 60Hz again at 1440p with display port and GTX 670. Tried to uninstall monitor and monitor driver and clear the BIOS and do the factory restet of the monitor all at the same boot, still did not work and only 60Hz available. When I have this...

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    Hey thank you. For a week now I had this problem, that the monitor was always at 60Hz at the next day after booting, even when I got it to use 120 or 144Hz at 1440p after trying for several hours the day before. This advanced factory menu with the "clear user" option got me the high refresh...

    So they finally implemented this. Nice. Really looking forward to buy a freesync screen and AMD card.

    Considering buying an IPS and a Freesync monitor

    I wonder when we will read more about this new Acer XF270HU IPS with Freesync and WQHD (2560 x 1440). http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/UM.HX0EE.001

    ** ASUS DO IT AGAIN: IPS, 144Hz & FREESYNC!!! Asus MG279Q thread **

    "The rest of us" Seems graphics quality enthusiasts are the majority in this forum. But what about competitive players who always would play at 144Hz and reduce quality settings till they reach the 144 frame goal? If I pay for 144Hz I want to utilise it and not let me tell by other users who...

    ** ASUS DO IT AGAIN: IPS, 144Hz & FREESYNC!!! Asus MG279Q thread **

    Does it match your voltage? EDIT: I see UK also has 230 V. So power shouldn't be a problem.

    ** ASUS DO IT AGAIN: IPS, 144Hz & FREESYNC!!! Asus MG279Q thread **

    German sites Computerbase and PCGamesHardware report that ASUS confirms them the recall. The articles also link this general RMA site https://eu-rma.asus.com/pick_eu/uk/ I also wrote in some thread that firmware updates for high end monitors (with lots of features) via USB port should be...

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    Fnatics JW - one of the best CS:GO players and winner of the ESL One Katowice 2015 major uses this screen at home according to his profile: twitch.tv/jesperwow When I asked him in chat if he uses adaptive sync/freesync he replied that he isn't aware of that feature, so I guess he's using an...

    ** ASUS DO IT AGAIN: IPS, 144Hz & FREESYNC!!! Asus MG279Q thread **

    Maybe this will be my next screen. Hope AMD delivers good R9 300 and Freesync driver support. Also curious about the upscaling capabilities of freesync screens.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Can't remember because I returned the 144Hz screen some weeks ago to buy a Freesync screen later. But it was significant enough to decide to use 120Hz in Windows and 144Hz in games. It's not only about the Vcore of the card but combined things like allowing the whole system with the card to...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I also used 120Hz in Windows and measured the power savings compared to 144 Hz with a power analyzer.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Today I've learned that the competitor doesn't only have beta drivers but also on the fly hot fix drivers to instantly fix problems. Do I get such support from AMD without waiting 3 months for a next official or beta release? Sourse...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Firmware update ability for higher priced gaming monitors should be standard. Especially since most have USB hub ports, so it shouldn't be a problem to transfer the data to a firmware rom if it's connected.

    AMD is a small company, don't pressure them with so many requests and wishes. Next F5 at full hour.

    ** THE FIRST FREESYNC MONITOR ARRIVES AT OcUK!! **

    I wonder about Freesync and Upscalling. In fast paced shooters like CS:GO, you want a low and maybe 4:3 streched resolution for pixel perfect aiming and fast rotation. Can those displays with extreme high resolution do the Adaptive-Sync and scalling in time without latency?

    The AMD Driver Thread

    AMD + freesync or no freesync and less problems? Hello, currently I have an AMD R9 270X and a GTX 670. I switched the cards like 20 times comparing their latency/frametime/responsiveness and their drivers. Also switching countless times between DX and Mantle in BF4 just on the AMD card over...
