Acer XG270HU with 290 Tri-X, no freesync..!

[gradyhawks]

A thousand trumpets to the fellow who can sort this.

I've a XG270HU 1440p 144hz Monitor from Acer with Freesync. PRoblem is that I can't enable it anywhere!

Ive updated to the latest drivers, checked all updates as well as done an entire system reinstall... to no avail!

There is just no way on the CCC to enable it nor does it think that the monitor can when I run the wind mill demo.

Any ideas at all?

Check your monitor's settings.

Do you have AMD Freesync driver installed?

Cant seem to find any setting on the monitor to enable it.

I'm running 15.11 drivers, I assume freesync drivers are with them.

You have to download the freesync driver separately, that is why I gave you the link.

Sorry to sound thick, I click on that link, then click "download drivers" and it takes me to the regular AMD driver page with nothing stating that it is a FreeSync driver.

Thanks!

How to enable FreeSync
Once your computer is set up and connected to your FreeSync-enabled monitor with a DisplayPort cable, make sure to download the latest AMD Catalyst graphics drivers from the company’s website. You can manually select your card or APU model from the “Manually Select Your Driver” tool (make sure to match your version of Windows), or use the auto-detection tool if you’re not sure. You don’t need a second driver to enable FreeSync – if your hardware is compatible, it’s included in this download. Install the driver and restart your computer if necessary.
Once all that is done, open the AMD Catalyst Control Center program on your computer. Click the “My Digital Flat-Panels” on the left column, then “properties.” The last option in the right column is “AMD FreeSync technology (or DP Adaptive-Sync.”) Click “Enable,” then click the “apply” button at the bottom of the window. Now start your game and enjoy your smoother graphics.
