Hi, I'm trying to definitively work out if FreeSync is actually active on my system.
In theory it should be, all my components support it (295x2, BenQ XL2730Z, 15.10 drivers) and my monitor shows FreeSync and CCC detects a FreeSync capable monitor being connected. When actually playing games though I'm just not seeing much effect. I've tried switching it on and off, enabling and disabling Xfire etc I can't see much difference.
I've also just downloaded the AMD Windmill demo specifically to show off FreeSync and sure enough, it reports a FreeSync compatible display but it shows FreeSync turned off and won't let me turn it on.
I know a lot of people rave about how great Free/GSync look and how it transforms the smoothness of games but I've never really thought much of it and I'm wondering now if that's because it not actually running.
Is there any other definitive way to confirm or deny that it's active and working or is the Windmill demo saying it's off proof that it's not working?
If so then any ideas what I can do to get it working?
On a side note has anyone else run that demo with XFire enabled and disabled on a 295x2, for me it looks pretty rubbish with XFire enabled, not very smooth and suprisingly blurry but when I create a profile for it and disable Xfire it becomes much clearer?
Thanks for any help.
