    Time to retire my I7 920 - Ryzen upgrade advice

    @Journey current gpu is a very old Radeon 5800 reference card, noisy and slow. I know the state of the market is not ideal but who's to say when that will change, could be waiting for a long time. There are a few issues with my current pc most likely due to the fact i've been running it...

    Time to retire my I7 920 - Ryzen upgrade advice

    @lee32uk current gpu is a very old Radeon 5800 reference card I had in the back of the wardrobe, had to use it when my R9 290 failed a few months ago.

    Time to retire my I7 920 - Ryzen upgrade advice

    Nice, thanks, I didn't see the 970 Evo, will swap for that. Also I really like AIO coolers so I think I will stick with the Kraken. @orbitalwalsh I considered the Gigabyte WindForce Vega 64 but I had a Gigabyte WindForce R9 290 which failed just outside the warranty period....I think I'd be...

    Time to retire my I7 920 - Ryzen upgrade advice

    Hey there, Well, I've been hanging onto it for as long as I could but it's time to let go of my I7 920 - Asus P6Dt-Deluxe based rig. I'm looking at upgrading to a system that will last me at least as long as this one has lasted and have decided upon a Ryzen 2700X build. Budget is around £1800...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I take it freesync was detected then? The update won't detect mine at all, same monitor as you.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Got an issue with these automatic updated drivers (15.20.1062.1004). They just refuse to detect freesync. I have the BenQXL2730Z and a R9 290. As soon as I roll back to 15.7.1 freesync is detected fine. Anyone else had this?

    Oh my no. I'm running a older core I7 920 @ 3.8Ghz and have never seen a reason to upgrade.

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    Just ran the windmill freesync demo and can honestly say, AMA High is the best setting, the difference between Off and High is incredible. Premium gives an overshoot kind of ghost on the wing blade but u really have to look for it. I'm on V2 firmware btw. Should really get some pics but my...

    Yay, just got mine back, so far all looks great, about to test on GTA5 and Skyrim. I've checked the service menu and i'm on the new firmware V002. Didn't write down my previous settings though so got some calibration to do. :D

    Just had a text from repairtech saying my monitor will be delivered back to me tomorrow by DPD. So turn around will have been 7 working days. :D

    The driver won't tell you, you need to get that information from the service menu as already described earlier in this thread.

    Might be your display port cable, they can be weird. Also if you are running crossfire, that doesn't work with freesync yet, AMD a bit behind with the drivers. If you are running just 1 card try enabling then disabling blur reduction and see if CCC detects freesync.

    BenQ XL2730Z Freesync Owners Thread

    It took me 2 phone calls to DPD to get mine collected. The first was useless, the guy on the other end of the phone just told me "I don't have access to any information regarding your collection" to which I said "ok, you are useless, I will call back later", to which I did and spoke to another...

    Get the latest AMD drivers 15.5 beta, then only use a display port cable, freesync will be detected. Freesync is not compatible with blur reduction and will be disabled if you enable blur reduction. See the review by Baddass on TFT central for more info. Also your gfx card needs to be...
