Hi guys.
I received my Swift today, but I'm having a bit of an issue.
I'm not sure it's card or monitor related - although I'm swinging towards card.
If I select anything over 85Hz the screen will flicker and then it will display a message saying displayport link failure.
If I try 144Hz the screen will flicker and flash (as if the monitor doesn't support it).
I'm using the displayport cable that came with the monitor so I assume that's up to the task.
Using a R9 290 (yes I know it's not a Nvidia card! lol).
My only issue is that I have nothing else I can put into this monitor to test it.
I'm half tempted to order up a 970 tomorrow....
thoughts? Has anyone experienced anything similar?
As someone stated the Swift doesn't like AMD cards is very true.
I had an R9 295x2. I got this monitor and anything over 85hz would cause issues. So I sent the card back and grabbed some 980's. The Monitor requires G-sync working to achieve above 100/120/144hz.
So really you have 3 choices:
Either live with the 85hz knowing you're not getting the most out of the monitor.
Send the monitor back which will probably cost a bit in shipping.
Or get your self a 970 or two.
I'd go with the last option personally.
Oh and on the other topic, shame a lot of people are being put off by the monitor. Running this monitor with a pair of Nvidia cards is fantastic. Best monitor i've ever owned, absolutely love it for gaming.
