Agreed with that. DSR + G-Sync + Multi GPUs = No

It's not just that, if I set DSR to render at 4k it kills SLI scaling!

But if I turn DSR off and 4k as a custom resolution and do down sampling that way SLI scaling performs as it should.

DSR deffo needs some work.

Yeah, I'd be pretty pee'd off if it didn't support multi GPU.
Kind of defeats the purpose to make it more demanding when you can't use all the beef at your disposal.

It's not in every game but it happens in some games that NEED the performance of both cards to push the frame rates.

What's this, the Nvidia complaints thread?

Oh, of course

It obviously also depends on whether the game supports multi card in the first place.

Oh yeah, on the subject of multi gpu, it turns out that PCARS does work with xfire after all if you force the profile. It's not perfect and the game still needs a bit of optimisation, but it's there. #random

Whatever happened to LucidLogix and the dream of all-hardware 100% utilisation multi-GPU without drivers. #evenmorerandom

Will these bring freesync as well? Or is it out already.

VincentHanna · 5 Dec 2014 at 13:33

Well there's no devices available yet with Freesync, so probably not.

shankly1985 · 5 Dec 2014 at 13:39

Freesync support is indeed in this release. Going by Tommy post.

It's in the pulled TR Omega article:

tommybhoy said:
Catalyst Omega also introduces support for a number of new pieces of hardware, including FreeSync monitors, the Alienware Graphics Amplifier, and 5K displays like the Dell UP2715k through two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. For those Eyefinity fans out there, Catalyst Omega now supports 24 monitor arrays on systems with four GPUs.
But it doesn't end there. AMD also focused on improving the driver experience by fixing a massive amount of bugs, including the top ten most reported problems such as errors during the install process, game and system crashes and black screens, and even pesky HDMI audio issues.

Click to expand...

Not to worry, I got all the juicy details.

Could this be the 390X drivers?

Freesync panels + Pirate Islands + wonder drivers all in the space of a couple of months? *fingers crossed*

Silent_Scone · 5 Dec 2014 at 13:47

Now all you need is the monitors lol.

Bonjour · 5 Dec 2014 at 13:51

I used to use 'Omega' drivers with my Voodoo 5 5500.

tommybhoy · 5 Dec 2014 at 13:56

As long as there is no added Ngreedia tax, the Freesync wait will be justified for those that aren't in a rush for the tech.

In time, they can drop any time from now. January I expect BenQ.

Yer, those who had the money and wanted the tech paid the premium. That is the norm with new tech and call it greed but it didn't bother me in the slightest (as I don't suspect it bothered many others who paid for them). I expect there will be a premium on the first Freesync monitors also.

AMD are really catching up with nVidia in these new techs and great to see. AMD now (or will have when the latest Omega drivers are released) have DSR (VSR) and AMD now have Adaptive Sync.

Great stuff

tommybhoy · 5 Dec 2014 at 15:01

No surprises with your tone, no mention where Nvidia techs trail AMD's though(no surprise for the forum there), plenty they could use to improve the Nvidia experience, using both, you can identify them more easily.

BS Dave · 5 Dec 2014 at 15:26

Yes can't wait to have go on these. When are we expecting 390x??

Orangey · 5 Dec 2014 at 15:28

The selection of panels today seems like we are being drip fed. WHY can't I just have a 4K 144hz sync IPS/VA.

That's my main problem with the gsync panels available so far, compromises.
