    Radeon VII

    The first batch of cards does not have UEFI GOP. This means you need CSM enabled for graphics output during boot. AMD has announced an updated BIOS which you can install yourself in case you need it. https://www.hardocp.com/news/2019/02/11/amd_releases_bios_for_radeon_vii_uefi_gop

    Radeon VII

    My (baseless) guess would be that 1/3 would go to the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific regions each, after subtracting the reviewers' units and what AMD wants to sell directly. If we assume 5000 units produced globally for launch, then ~1500 for EMEA sounds not far-fetched. UK has ~10% of EMEA...

    AOC Q3279VWF - FreeSync,VA,qHD 31.5 inch monitor for £249! (ONLY £199 AT OcUK FOR BLACK FRIDAY)!!

    I like mine quite a bit. No pixel defects, nice contrast, a huge step up from my previous 24" 1080p TN. Due to similar dpi I did not need to adjust to screen content suddenly getting smaller or larger. :) Downsides: ghosting (can be reduced to acceptable levels with medium overdrive setting)...

    AOC Q3279VWF - FreeSync,VA,qHD 31.5 inch monitor for £249! (ONLY £199 AT OcUK FOR BLACK FRIDAY)!!

    Xbox One X has 1440p and FreeSync support, so it should work fine. I'm not aware of anyone actually trying it and reporting the results though.

    41-83 Hz would also get you LFC, just sayin'. But from other reports it appears that the monitor tops out around 80 Hz.

    Monitor is now on sale in France and Belgium too, for 220 EUR. But why should the issues with AOC exist only in the UK, or deal be too good to be true in the UK, but not elsewhere in Europe?

    About the VESA mount adapters, I'll quote my previous post: That should be enough information for anyone with basic Google skills. 3D printing I would not recommend, the stress on the material is quite high. On the topic of availability, following Switzerland and the Netherlands in late...

    AOC Q3279VWF - FreeSync,VA,qHD 31.5 inch monitor for £249! (ONLY £199 AT OcUK FOR BLACK FRIDAY)!!

    From a quick glance at specs, the most important differences are: 31.5" QHD (93 dpi) vs. 32" FHD (69 dpi) 75 Hz vs. 144 Hz VA vs. IPS No VESA mount vs. VESA mount I guess the ElectriQ would be a good monitor for console gaming or as a public display? Using it on your desk for work would be...

    AOC Q3279VWF - FreeSync,VA,qHD 31.5 inch monitor for £249! (ONLY £199 AT OcUK FOR BLACK FRIDAY)!!

    Yes. LFC only requires that 2*low < high limit (AMD's earlier implementation required 2.5 times). So 37-75 Hz would enable LFC already, which is important as there is usually a couple frames variation in CRU achievable range between individual units. For example with the HP OMEN 32 (officially...

    Check tweakers.net user reviews (the Q3279VWF is on sale in the Netherlands already) https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1106209/aoc-q3279vwf-zwart/reviews/ It appears that there is noticeable ghosting with this monitor. Interesting that there is one report that FreeSync range can be extended to...

    I don't think AOC is holding back any European shop from selling the monitors that are in stock. The monitor has already been on sale in Switzerland and in the Netherlands (there are user reviews on tweakers.net)..

    From the specs I think the monitor is alright for gaming. Screen size, viewing angles, contrast/black levels will be bigger&better. You will however not be able to use FreeSync. This monitor behaves like a regular 75 Hz display with NVidia cards. Response time will be worse compared to your TN.

    AOC Q3279VWF - FreeSync,VA,qHD 31.5 inch monitor for £249! (ONLY £199 AT OcUK FOR BLACK FRIDAY)!!

    There exist VESA mount adapters which claim to be compatible with the Q3279VWF, made by HumanCentric. Not sure how well they work though. Some monitors support 75 Hz only in FreeSync mode (e.g. HP OMEN 32). I am unsure why. But this monitor seems to support it with all GPUs. According to AOC, it...
