120hz or less i think

Yeah, i've been reading the thread on occassions, remember it only works with 120hz and Gsync disabled. Done that, just forgot still running ancient drivers! Remember someone saying you need the 340s.

Edit: Was the pulse rate best around the 20 mark? Forgot what people were saying, thread too long now to skim back.

We could do with a settings thread for us owners ,

Anyone know why i can no longer select gsync since updating my drivers and still cannot enable ULMB in the OSD?

780ti classy and 340.52 drivers. Will clean and rerun them again, just weird. Don't want gsync, i want ULMB.

Uniformity and backlight decent?

Have you read post#1796?

About the 10th person to tell me to change to 120hz, it's never been off 120hz.

DDU my drivers, reinstalled 340.52, nothing.
DDU my drivers, installed 337.88, nothing.

337.88 were my previous drivers where GSync would show up in Nvidia control panel, now its vanished. I'll reiterate again, I'm not interested in Gsync, however it needs to be disabled for ULMB to work. I'm curious as to why the bloody thing has disappeared since updating drivers.

Any and all problems i get i instantly go PEBKAC, as it's easier to blame me...as let's face it, probably my fault. However, god it's annoying to be told the same thing...such a basic thing, 100 times over.

Tonester0011 · 23 Aug 2014 at 20:53

Picture time, hopefully someone can sort me out. I'm pretty much full on 'special' so, yeah.

How have you set 120hz T? Via nvcp or in Windows display options?

Tonester0011 · 23 Aug 2014 at 20:57

This way

pgi947 · 23 Aug 2014 at 21:05

Ah was just wondering if one was over-riding the other - your first screen of NVCP shows 2560x1440 @ 144hz

Edit: What are displays 2 & 3 on that screen? Could be causing some conflict?

Good luck, I am out.

I really want one. But it's a toss up between this and an 8 core CPU and DDR4

*shrugs*

That page was a preview, not actual settings.
Display 2 & 3 are turned off, one is my TV to watch films the other is my old 120hz monitor, on the stand next to my new one.

Had them all one before and sync was working, since turned them off to help alleviate any conflicts

I'm getting out of ideas tbh tone, do you have a spare ssd/drive about? Might be worth throwing a quick windows install on and then throw the drivers on and see what happens.

Windows getting messed up can cause some messed up happenings

Swift now, Oct core on X99 refresh

Gives time for DDR4 prices to settle. Can't see the same happening on swift pricing.

Sold my last to Nick

Got a couple of spare harddrives i could quickly do a 7 install on, really hoping i don't need to reinstall windows...only just got this setup how i like

Would honestly rather live without ULMB than do the above ^

pgi947 · 23 Aug 2014 at 21:46

I know that feeling. Worth a punt though, at least it would give you something else to isolate.

Have you tried a different dp cable too?

Tonester0011 · 23 Aug 2014 at 22:08

Will try the cable tomorrow, gotta dig one out. Should be with my other 1440 monitor.
If no luck, then i'll get a W7 install put on a HDD. Can't see the cable being the problem, gsync worked prior to driver install, now disappeared.

Off to watch Doctor who

Have you tried changing refresh in nvidia CP and also try at @ 85 &100hz
