Would kiz have any issues with a 290x going through the scaler then?
I'd be fairly certain it would just act as any other 4K TN 1ms monitor thats on the market, likewise I would think and AMD user could buy the swift and enjoy 1440p @ 144hz.
I don't think Nvidia would be so fickle as to block AMD cards from using their primary resolution and refresh rates

I would get the swift, but it's a bit expensive for me for one monitor, the 4k2k is probably the highest to pay for a single for me tbh, but I would love to get an rog swift

I didn't think AMD cards could do 144Hz, thought they had to do 120Hz? Or was that just the 7000 series and older?
This rings a bell, I'm not entirely sure on the 290's tbh. Visual difference of 120v144hz would be minimal I presume, the primary function of 144hz was to give a 72fps sync in 3d

Im sure it would be a lawsuit on the spot if it were actually so
, since it doesnt say "only works with nvidia hardware" on the box.

Hi Greg it seems to be working properly now
BF4 refresh rate was showing 120-120.5 and now it's showing 119.98 which is what it should be on.Before I posted I uninstalled / re-installed but no change then I post my question to you then that evening it works
I'm sure my PC is self aware 
I've always known about this but never been bothered to try but boy which I had done this mod sooner, does make a difference.
Question about G-Sync, I run my games at 120fps would g-sync still benefit this? Or is there more benefit from running games at 60fps.
Thanks.
Soldato
GSync will show it's merits when you drop below 60fps (eg 35-60). Above that I doubt it is even working
(the last was sarcarm, ofc is working but cannot see the difference)
Soldato
It'll always reduce tearing down to zero and seriously minimise stutter along with it.
Hey Ashman, As I have not tried G-Sync out yet (waiting on my pre-order of the Acer 4K screen), the guys who are using G-Sync now would be your best answer and James has had it for quite some time now

I'm soooo jealou....pleased for you
Are G-Sync wannabe owners allowed to post in this thread Gregster?
The Asus was what I'd hoped to go for but the Acer seems like a great monitor.
Is it that the Acer is 4K that swayed you over the Asus Gregster?
I see G-sync in my future but I'm undecided on manufacturer, price will probably be the deciding factor for me though.

Of course bud and genuine questions for sure. It turned into a slating match and that wasn't the idea of the thread.

For me it was the price of the swift combined with the timing of the Acer 4k pre-order and its price in contrast. Once I'd worked out how much we were paying in USD vs the yanks we were paying over $400 more. Though I feel a little remorse now having seen all the glowing reviews of the swift, I'm sure that will change when my Acer arrives
Tbh I didn't expect to see a 4k gsync monitor out so soon either, let alone it being so cheap!
Added to the OP
@ Ash - G-Sync and my enjoyment of 4K gaming was what swayed me. When you play games like Tomb Raider at 4K, it is just jaw droppingly good. I ordered the Acer 4K screen the day after it went live on pre-orders and can't wait (as I guess we all can't).
Having gamed at 4K, I found it hard to go back but still reckon I will be playing BF4 at 1080P, as I am bad enough at that res and 4K I couldn't get a decent mouse DPI and was just missing everybody badly.
Soldato
Same at all res....
Yer true
Gawd knows how I have a 1.2 K/D ratio and should be 0.65
