** THE FIRST FREESYNC MONITOR ARRIVES AT OcUK!! **

[shankly1985]

Possibly not the monitor at fault. Could be a driver problem.

Yeah..

No big deal for now so long its not the display am happy to keep using 120hz for now..

1080p 144hz works fine.

Swifts had the same problems. The screens were a bit flaky at 144 Hz at 1440. 120 - 144 is not really very noticeable so I'd just go with 120.

Yeah no real choice for now.. Just happy to know its not the display. I hate sending things back time and money.

I feel like starting a slow clap about this.

 

[Mr. May]

Gibbo is there any reason my order is still printed in warehouse I thought it would have been shipped today ?

Just be prepared to accept that 144hz might never work at 1440p. I don't think anyone ever found a fix on the Swift.

Yeah 144Hz does not work on AMD cards still, 120Hz for now, maybe the driver on the 19th will resolve this issue to, shall enquire with AMD.

Thanks Gibbo..

Ugh. I feel the hands on my back slowly pushing me back to Nvidia and their wicked 3.5gb VRAM

 

[Martini1991]

Gibbo, maybe update the product page with a disclaimer for now?

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Remember AMD matt reply to a post of mine saying that the omega drivers had fresync enabled.

 

[shankly1985]

I most say though the difference 1440p over 1080p is quite the jump. I used SVR etc to show 1440p and its deffo not the same. Native looks so much better.

Whilst you're enquiring, also ask them why their VSR 1440p option only supports up to 100Hz and not 120Hz.

I thought he had, but meh.
I'll let him off if it comes in the second part, as it is still "omega" but it's no less shady.

 

[Geeman1979]

Thought I'd seen him mention it too.

They're not meant to be the same lol.

You do have to wonder why when they have been talking about freesync for 6 months they still didnt have a driver ready to launch? Most people thought the delay was monitor manufacturers but right now the delay turns out to be a lack of driver! Big oops for AMD. How can they not have a driver ready to go! I suppose they could be withholding it until some arbitrary date they picked which is probably even worse. Then to suggest crossfire takes another month - EH? Honestly bit of a launch disaster for Amd. Maybe they should get the fixer in to fix their launches? Pity as i wanted them to get this right. Competition is good!

Well that's amd for you.

A reply from shanks in another thread Jan 15th.

Am sure FreeSync is already on AMD's part! What happens outside with display manufactures they is nothing they can do..

AMD have done all they can do here..

But I guess defenders going to defend.

 

[LambChop]

This might explain the lack of reviews.

 

[Rroff]

Sorry but I am literally ******* myself laughing - after all the jibes, etc. at GSync this is terrific.

(not at OcUK - you guys trying to push the envelope and get new tech actually out there is great).

 

[Martini1991]

Today is a day of disappointment rather than excitement by the sounds of it
