VSR 'Not Supported' with Fury X & Acer XR34 Freesync monitor?

heartburnron · 15 Oct 2016 at 13:25

Regarding Virtual Super Resolution, does anyone know why it says 'Not supported' for me in my Radeon settings. I have a Fury X paired with Acer XR34 freesync monitor. Is it the card or monitor or what? Is there some settings I can change to make it available?

I know for recent games the card couldn't cope with more resolution anyway but it would be nice for the older games...

It's the UltraWide resolution, AMD don't support it.

Yep this is correct, nothing to do with the xr34 or fury just no support from amd

^ ridiculous that.

heartburnron · 15 Oct 2016 at 16:01

Oh ok thanks. That is a shame. I wonder if there are any plans to change that...

Yep, I don't think amd know there is a 21.9 ratio, who knows one day perhaps

Is this a Fiji-specific issue? Or an AMD-wide thing?

Haven't heard about this before.

THIS post indicates it can be achieved with CRU, not tried it personally yet.

It's partly why I was glad to send my 2560x1080 monitor back. I'm not sure why it matters when you a 3440x1440 monitor though, It's not like AMD have anything that can run games well enough at a higher 21:9 res.

That's only the case for games released in the last 2-3 years. Anything older and the Fury X can run the games well into the 100s. The likes of the Bioshock games for example.

You need to stop listing to nonsense Linus comes out with and take a step back. He's running a Fury X, dx12 games fly along nicely on that hardware and he can comfortably get decent frame rates in demanding dx11 titles by adjusting few settings.

I think it's more to do with that he'd have liked to VSR the res up a couple of notches on older games, but was obviously not possible.

Sorry I don't watch that site but you clearly do so it may be time to take your own advice, Unless this is a do as I say not as I do scenario

For older games yes but 90% of my gaming will be on modern titles so theyre the games that'll matter going forward along with yet to be released games.

I'm currently on my old monitor again and my finger hovers over the 38" LG monitor due this year every time I'm on the store page but I need to make sure Vega comes through first as my Fury won't like running 3840x1600.

To be fair my fury is doing better than I expected with the lg 38", had to drop 1 or 2 settings for rise of the tomb raider but gears of war 4 and doom are flying along but like you Im waiting for vega

Nice move, Good result for you

I can't imagine you're able to keep modern titles in the freesync zone though, Roll on Vega.

Yep I've not given freesync any thought or botherd looking at the fps, when I bought the lg 38 vega was in mind with forward thinking

Yeah I think it's do-able with a few settings being dropped. It's only 20% more pixels than 3440 res (6mill roughly). I'd run it happily enough

Tbh if I didn't have my X34 setup I'd snap up Old Gamer's XR34 and buy a Fury/X tomorrow!!

Never ever had a problem with single AMD cards tbh, mGPU is where they've been falling down.

Big Vega is gonna be a niiiiiiiice upgrade for that LG :cool:
