I'm eying the new Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED monitor. And I have 6900XT GPU. I'm confused if the VRR and HDR would work with my GPU or not. Everyone talks about how now Nvidia GPUs support Freesync monitors but I haven't seen any info on if AMD gpus support GSync Ultimate features. Does the monitor drops to Just GSync of GSync compatible when paired with AMD gpus and won't get the HDR experience? If so maybe I should wait for samsung's monitor instead. (but that samsung QA quality though ) My question basically is Does NVidia GPU paired with Freesync premium pro monitor support premium pro features or only Freesync and not the premium pro features? Does AMD GPU paired with GSync Ultimate monitor support only Ultimate features or only GSync or even drops down to GSync Compatible? Basically can someone fill in this table with yes or no? GSYNC Ultimate GSYNC GSYNC Compatible Free Sync Premium Pro Freesync AMD GPU Yes Yes NVIDIA GPU Yes Yes Yes If I want a HDR experience am I locked to a ecosystem or is it possible to mix from both sides? If I'm being locked then wouldn't it makes more sense to have a freesync premium pro monitor because intel would also be supporting it which means I'll have more options that way? Am I already locked into Freesync ecosystem by having AMD gpu and if I want to switch the GPU or monitor I have to switch entire setup? So many questions. Thanks for your time

Edit/Update: In a bizarre turn of events its fixed. I did multiple things at a time so not sure which one fixed it but updated radeon from 21.4 to 21.5.1 and while restarting instead of just restarting I switched off entire power from power socket and switched it on, disconnected the DP cable from GPU and connected it back. When system boot up to install 21.5.1 and installed the new driver, monitor went back to 240Hz. Hey everyone, I used to have 1080Ti before and the monitor ran at 240Hz so I know its not the quality of my display port cable. I recently realized that after changing the GPU from 1080Ti to 6800XT monitor is stuck at 144Hz. Strangely on the monitor OSD it shows 240Hz but greyed out. But windows, amd drivers and UFO test everything shows monitor is at 144Hz. These are the settings in Radeon drivers. I did use DDU to uninstall Nvidia drivers before installing AMD drivers.

No, I'm a programmer and will always look for faster memory (disk) access to reduce compile times. But currently using the same ssd on 2700x with gen3 and I don't have any issues with speeds at this time. Just wondering if I have the hardware then why not use it to make it much faster Ah, ok, in that case I'll jsut use the latest Thanks

Hi, I have Rog Strix x470 f gaming motherboard paired with 2700x and haven't updated bios since I bought (2018 dec). Now I got a 3900x which is shown as compatible with motherboard in asus site and i have a PCIe4.0 ssd. I was wondering if I can update to bios before they removed pcie4 support or trust in AMD and have latest bios which removed pcie4 support for x470 motherboards.

Hypothetically, imagine that if I have two of both cards, which ones would I want to use in my rig?

Hello guys, I see that vega 64 is available for around 350 - 400 euros and I can get used 1080 ti for around 500 euros (still has 2 years warranty) So I wanted to buy two cards but now I'm confused. Should I get two new vega 64 or two 1080 ti? Which has better performance? Also I just have 850w PSU. I'm assuming if I get two vega 64s I might need higher power supply. I'm not here for discussion about buying single better GPU or even used vs new discussion. My interest is in performance only. For 4k gaming I think having more VRam is better so 1080 ti might be better choice. Also I'm thinking of changing from 4k 60fps to 1440p 144hz so maybe 11gb is not necessary considering my future plans? I'm confused as hell and want to here some other views regarding this. Thanks for helping me make a decision.

Shouldn't it be a vega or freesync supported iGPU? Does 2700x has that? I guess there is only one way to find out. Get the GPU and try it.

Hi, This is not about weather its worth it or not but if its possible. I have seen linus videos about using Ryzen APU and NVidia GPU to get freesync since it gives options to switch between high and low power with APU. But is it possible if I have a NVidia GPU and AMD GPU with Ryzen without APU? I have a 4k 60hz freesync monitor and a NVidia GPU so I wanted to know if this is possible if I buy a cheap freesync enabled AMD GPU and add it to my build.

I'm actually looking to do same modifications to my alienware 17 r3. (got it as part of school curriculum, and now that i'm done with school laptop is mine to do anything with) I did see the EXP GDC but it uses one mPCIe slot and upon some research i found out that the bandwidth is usually the prime form of bottleneck. So I started to see if there is any way to improve this and also maybe a way to combine multiple PCIe slots into single. My laptop has two mPCIe slots one is used by m.2 nvme ssd. I considered combining both mPCIe slots into single one to improve the bandwidth but I read some place that the PICe lanes these slots are using have to be next to each other. I checked HWiNFO and found out that they both are not using PCIe lanes that are next to each other so that went into drain. But my laptop has Thunderbold 3 too and its bandwidth is 40Gbps and PCIe x4 is 31.84Gbps. Clearly thunderbolt 3.0 has higher bandwidth although using same x4 lanes (I wonder what magic is going on with TB3) So I thought there might be something similar to EXP GDC but with male thunderbolt 3 ping but all I can find are these pre build boxes that cost 200 - 500 dollars.
