Add the profile, at the bottom it will show AMD CrossFireX Mode, set that to disabled, then right click the profile and click use as system settings. Turn off blur reduction mode if you have it on, restart your PC and then go to the My Digital Flat-Panels properties tab in CCC, tick the freesync box at the bottom and click apply.

I must be the only retard who can't get these simple instructions to work...

MSI afterburner are showing both gpu's working sigh..

Does it say it's on when you check monitor information?

Strangely freesync allowed me to go fullscreen 144hz as well. Without it, fullscreen is locked at 60hz.

FreeSync - ON. That's on the monitor just afterburner showing both GPU's running and the framerate is the same as when Crossfire is enabled.

Gsync looks way better. I could not be done with that ghosting, hope they sort it on freesync.

You tried BF4 much Shankly or any MMO's?

I've just tried disabling the crossfire mode on the profile etc but cannot get it to shut one gpu off.. :/

Am trying my hardest to see it but just not.. All I see is Motion Blur

It could just be down to FIFA then, the engine has been pretty broken on PC.

We'll see when the good reviews from the guys on here land I guess.

Does it ghost in other games ?

Ayahuasca · 22 Mar 2015 at 21:53

I can see it in other games yes, the FPS games I've tried it's not there or not noticeable but even Shadows of Mordor I can see it when moving around.

I've wrote more about it in the thread in the monitor sub forum.

Can you do a video showing the ghosting? If possible.

Is the fifa blur especially viewable on white kits against the green background? If so it's the game not your monitor.

Ayahuasca · 23 Mar 2015 at 00:02

It's not the game, it didn't happen on my previous monitor.

We'll wait and see what the other review sites think, I'm no expert but I can definitely see the ghosting.

So all of the pre-release boasting about Freesync monitors being cheaper yada yada and it turns out they're either using cheaper panels or are missing vital technologies to prevent ghosting.

For all of the stick NVidia got about limiting G-sync to a select few partners at least by doing so they have ensured a high quality experience, AMD have no real control over how well Freesync is implemented.

would have to be on his phone...and we'd never know if it was our monitors ghosting or the original video...

Also MMJ - it might just be me but it seems Nvidia have waited til this moment to reveals their variable pixel voltage thingy...i don't understand why it wasn't already announced/out there before freesync. Correct me if i'm wrong

Thought this was an "AMD Freesync owners thread"...do we really need fanbase Nvidia marketing here as well?

Can OCUK confirm zero Ghosting on their shop model?
