Asus ROG Swift flickering and can't see where to change the display

More I hear about the Swift the more of a joke it sounds like. I remember reading about some issue a while ago that I'm fairly sure was a different issue to this high hz flickering. Then Anandtech say it flickers in lower hz/fps modes under g-sync. After this thread I searched flickering/144hz and it seems loads of Nvidia and AMD users are getting it. Most got screens replaced and problem went away with the same cable and gpus as before so it's a screen fault. They seem to have really poor quality control, multiple problems all while charging a massive premium. :(

Find the BenQ price pretty ridiculous though it seems to have a few more features to me, the easy to use/see buttons is something most screens should have had for ages. When I game in the dark room and need to change something on basically every monitor I've ever had it's a nightmare but my Samsungs touch sensitive non buttons are the worst yet. That they can charge what is easily twice what these screens are worth, making them ultra premium versions of the screens, yet have so many problems is ridiculous.

If only the monitor manufacturers could come up with a standard of their own that would run fine with all modern AMD and NVidia cards that would make Free Sync and G Sync obsolete. It makes better business sense to build a monitor that works with all cards than separate versions for AMD and NVidia.

I am sure there are technical reasons that make the above hard but not impossible.

Having both Free Sync and G Sync monitors is a joke.

Yep, I am not that bothered for now and so long as I can still play games, no bother :)

Do you want to start a Titan X thread bud? Looks like Jokester just deleted the last one because it got out of hand.

2 completely different issues at play here (well 3 really) - gsync isn't working properly at low framerates (even though nVidia says its intended behaviour) tbh though aside from flickering in menus its not really a problem as games aren't really playable at those framerates flickering or no.

Some Swifts seem to fail pretty early on :| unrelated to the flickering issues - possibly due to either dodgy capacitors or rushed work on the FPGA.

AMD's more recent top end GPUs for some reason seem to have weak displayport "drive" (and some clock issues) which makes getting 100+Hz a bit hit and miss (you'll find the same issue with most laptops nVidia or AMD). Hence they are far more picky about stability over any given cable than nVidia desktop GPUs as a generalisation.

That is what Adaptive Sync is Kaap. Nvidia are free to use it as it's nothing to do with AMD technology wise.

We need something that will work on all cards regardless of what AMD or NVidia want to do.

Edit

I also need to point out my knowledge of monitors is very limited.:)

I think Nvidia's Tom Peterson answered that with it's impossible to do which i took him to mean on older designs. Nvidia need to add it in to there design if they want to use it. The tech is there so they either jump or don't.
 
lol I had this issue with my AOC 4k panel with my 290X Vapor-X. Maybe contact Shane Partiff at AMD, they concocted a custom EDID override for me.

They tried blaming it on the panel using non standard CR timings but it worked fine on my 780Ti.

It's a signal strength issue.

lol, what?

It works fine with his TITANS. Planet earth calling delusional whelp.
