SECOND AND FINAL UPDATE: After thorough testing I've confirmed that this is a software issue with Nvidia which is unfortunately beyond our control. I've found only one workaround and that is to turn off "Extend these displays" and use "Show only on X" (X being whatever your G-Sync monitor's number is) while you play games with G-Sync enabled. I've confirmed that this has completely resolved all issues and crashes for me. I know this isn't the solution you were expecting, especially if you use your second monitor to do other things (e.g. read chat messages) while gaming on your primary, but it's better than nothing as at least you don't have to completely unplug your secondary monitor(s) and can continue to use it as long as you don't run games. Multi-monitor G-Sync will only crash with games running, so you don't need to constantly turn G-Sync off and on while you're doing anything else (e.g. browsing or working). You'll only need to disable display extension while gaming. This solution is mostly aimed at people who use their G-Sync display as their main monitor and primarily for gaming, and only use their secondary monitor(s) for work (for example: if you are an artist and have a pen display connected). Of course, you can always just disable G-Sync altogether and use all your screens as you like without issues, and if you play competitive games (e.g. Valorant), it's recommended that you do turn it off to reduce latency. I hope this thread has helped some of you. Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year. UPDATE FOR ALL G-SYNC MONITOR OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE (READ THE DETAILED LETTER BELOW THE UPDATE): I've made a discovery after many tests. For currently unknown reasons, it was having G-Sync enabled with a second non-G-Sync monitor plugged in at the same time that caused the random Windows 10 crashes/freezes. I am still running further tests to figure out why G-Sync was exclusively causing this with a second monitor plugged in, but if you are having the same issue make sure you have ONLY the G-Sync display plugged in and no other monitor. This should solve any crashing/freezing issues (no guarantees of course, issues vary). It seems this is not a new issue with Nvidia, as I found similar threads for other monitors and PC specs from a few years ago, but they were using G-Sync compatible monitors. Well, seems this issue can apparently appear in native G-Sync as well. I will update this thread again when/if I have further news and/or a solution (so other monitors can be plugged in at the same time too). ----------- Hello, I recently purchased a new monitor, the ASUS ROG Swift PG279QM. It's running at 1440p 240Hz and has a native Nvidia G-Sync module. My GPU is ASUS' GTX 1080 Ti Strix OC. Nothing is overclocked. When G-Sync is on, the PC will randomly freeze forever during games until I hard-restart it via the reset button on the case. Here is how the crash proceeds: Game image will freeze entirely and permanently. Keyboard and mouse will lose signal and no longer function at all (keyboard caps lock etc. will not register either, so no LEDs). These two will maintain their electricity but if the keyboard is unplugged and replugged during the freeze, it will not get its power back. The mouse will. Though still nothing functions. Sound will keep playing in the background for about one minute but will gradually lose volume until it finally gets distorted and also gets cut off completely. At this point everything is nonoperational. Important notes: The PC does not, ever, restart on its own, regardless of how long I wait. If I don't use the reset button to restart the system, it will stay frozen like that forever. In this frozen state, the PC's hardware continues to work normally. There is no throttling or fans stopping or speeding up, everything carries on as usual. Since this is not registered as a crash/bluescreen by Windows, but just an unexpected manual restart, there is zero info on what failed prior to the freeze. If during the freeze the PG279QM is turned off and back on, it will turn on with extremely low brightness and no image (the previous game image that froze will be gone). I will still be able to open the OSD but see it just barely due to the low brightness. However, it will retain all of its settings, as the OSD will still show 1440p 240Hz and G-Sync (the LED on the monitor will also remain red indicating G-Sync is on). Note that the settings include the brightness. The monitor does not drop its setting to low brightness, it becomes dark with the normal brightness setting still there. However, if the PG279QM is unplugged from the GPU and then replugged, just like the keyboard, it will no longer receive signal at all, stating that no input was detected, at which point the brightness of the monitor returns to normal. So whatever causes the darkening specifically at least must come from a massive GPU driver crash. I also have a second monitor connected which is a 1440p 60Hz non-G-Sync one. Unlike the PG279QM, during the freeze, this monitor will retain its brightness even if it's turned off/on and/or replugged, as well as whatever image it was displaying before the freeze. This monitor will not lose signal no matter what. Nevertheless, it also stays frozen. I've used various Nvidia drivers, currently using the latest ones along with Windows 10 64-bit fully updated. If this is somehow a driver issue, it has not been looked into by Nvidia in the past 5 GPU drivers now. This bizarre freeze happens exclusively with G-Sync on and always with a game running. Especially if the game dips to 30 FPS (e.g. cutscenes, pause menus capped by the developers etc.). There has never been a crash with G-Sync off. The G-Sync freeze has almost always happened when a game was either paused or going through a loading screen at a capped 30 FPS. I've run many troubleshooting tests. The PC always runs cool even under 100% load for extended periods of time and passes all tests without errors. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is completely random and therefore impossible to recreate and troubleshoot. It could crash within an hour or go without a crash for days. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? The monitor is brand new and appears to be working flawlessly. I also ran extensive stress tests on my PC to ensure the GPU isn't failing and got no issues. Is this perhaps a problem with Windows 10? I have not tried Windows 11 with G-Sync in games yet. After looking around online I also found the possibility that perhaps my PSU is failing. I had a 1080p 60Hz monitor before the PG279QM so it's possible that my PSU can't keep up with the massive specs upgrade. Any insight is welcome. Thank you for your time.

Is there a way to display the GPU (graphics card) workload usage as a percentage for Apple Silicon M-series Mac with Swift & Xcode? CPU monitoring works. GPU monitoring seems impossible. I only get the workload for the current app, but total GPU workload for the whole system is impossible to figure out for me. Any ideas how to do this?

I received this laptop yesterday and have been worried about the temperature as the fans will ramp up and the temperature goes up to around 70C when i watch youtube streams on fullscreen. But if I watch twitch it stays around 50-55C. Was just wondering if this was normal for anyone else who has this model, thanks! I also did all the windows updates and checked the bios is the most updated.

I'm trying to develop a Swift menu bar app that switches between the iGPU and the dGPU of a MacBook Pro. I've got the menu bar part right, but can't get the GPU switching working. I tried to have a look at some examples and compare code. I tried to use: let defaultDevice = MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() but it doesn't seem to do anything. All I want is for the dGPU to activate when I select the dGPU option in the menu, and for it to deactivate when I select the iGPU option. I understand that there is already an app to do this but it is quite old, forces the one GPU or the other (instead of simply requesting it), and I would prefer to do it myself in a leaner package. Any help will be appreciated.

Looking to the hive mind of LTT *TLDR Apologies if I break any forum rules, this is my first post here. I have a fucked ASUS ROG swift, it's not proper fucked - as in smashed, it just conked out over night - link to other LTT post with user with same issue - https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1051170-asus-pg278q-whitegrey-screen-not-responding/ Another post I found with user with same issue - https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1096305-help-asus-rog-pg278q-white-screen-can-it-be-fixed/ One suggestion was to look for bad capacitors, my googlefu is good enough to find replacement caps and I can solder My main issue is getting the thing apart without putting the nail in the coffin for this monitor - I really don't want to spend £300 on a new monitor EDIT: No luck on finding guides on ifixit Has anyone got experience in taking this monitor apart or a similar model with same assembly? If I can get the information I need I'll write a guide myself on how I fixed it (if i can) *TLDR - Might be able to fix PG278Q by replacing bad caps, but need to know how to open it. Kind Regards, James.P

Hi all! I've got the money to upgrade to one of these monitors which will replace my Dell U3014. I do gaming and photo-editing so I need an IPS panel and I want the 144hz refresh rate. I've been over-reading so many things and TrustedReviews says that the Acer and Asus have a similar sRGB coverage (around 96.5%). TFTCentral would've been another great source but unfortunately they don't have a review for the Acer. The Acer is cheaper by $100 in my country so it's more appealing to me than the Asus. I picked up this Amazon review saying that the Acer slightly washes its color away to hide the BLB unlike the Asus. They use the same panel after all and the companies are just trying to come up with tricks to outdo each other. I get that. I expect monitors in this price range to be perfect and have better sRGB coverage than my current Dell U3014 (yes I know it's made for Adobe RGB). However, these nitpicky things are turning me off... should I wait until OLED (???) or some weird but more effective tech hits the mainstream or just get a monitor now and be happy for 3 or so years? Thanks! Sources: Asus review from TrustedReviews: http://www.trustedreviews.com/asus-rog-swift-pg279q-review-image-quality-and-verdict-page-2 Acer review from TrustedReviews: http://www.trustedreviews.com/acer-predator-xb271hu-review-image-quality-and-verdict-page-2 Amazon Review: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/R26BTOYV4AN8UI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_viewpnt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B017DG09WM#R26BTOYV4AN8UI ps If I do get one of these monitors, then I'll look for a place that rents out colorimeters to enhance color fidelity.

I am looking at an acer swift 5 to use as a college laptop for my computer science degree. I will mainly be coding in java and C++ but will also go into other types which are not to intensive on the laptop. I also have a desktop so I will mainly use this laptop when I am not at home. The battery is not too much of an issue for me and I need the screen size to be 15inches. Would this be suitable, if you think there is a better alternative for a similar price, please let me know as it will be much appreciated. Thanks

As i was normally using my pg278q, the screen started to become white. In seconds, the whole screen became white and after a while it became grey with red green and blue pixels all over the screen and some darker grey patches on the bottom. The display of the screen after that is static, doesn't change or flicker, same grey screen with rgb pixels all over and grey patches. I tried to connect to another input(via the displayport), completely remove the input, restart the monitor but nothing changes. The monitor is out of the warranty so i get no help from asus. Is there any fix to this or anything i can try? If i don't fix this monitor it means i have a useless broken £600 monitor and my gaming experience will never be the same because i will have to downgrade to a 1920p 60hz monitor. Please help!!!!!

I have always had ideas for creating apps, and I have wanted to create an iOS app for the longest time, but everytime I look into what is needed to start programming for iOS apps I run into the need to have a macbook/mac. Currently, I have a Dell XPS 13 (9370) with pretty good specs for my use (i7, 16gb, 256gb SSD). I really want to learn how to code for iOS apps, but I am clueless on the options available for someone just trying to build their first complete application. My last resort option is buying a low-end macbook pro (2012-2014, i5 and 8gb ram) just for coding and other iOS only applications. I consider this to be a last resort for me, since it wouldn't be smart economically to have a really nice windows laptop, and then buy another laptop just to code programs. I am asking if there are any other ways besides buying an older macbook in order to save money, while being able to code iOS programs. If there are no other options besides just buying a macbook, what would be the minimum spec model that is possible to run every application in order to smoothly run the software needed?

Hey everyone. First post to these forums, and hopefully it's not too dumb. I'm trying to upgrade the storage in an Acer Swift 1 (sf114-32-p2pk). I bought a 128gb m.2 nvme ssd and well I guess I got the wrong one, because it's not showing up in disk management. I've never used any m.2 storage before and didn't know there were different kinds. I'm guessing I need a "M" keyed drive according to this article, my drive does fit, it just doesn't have a pin for pin match. https://www.atpinc.com/blog/what-is-m.2-M-B-BM-key-socket-3 The bios is very limited on this thing, so not much I can do there. I have to get it something it will be happy with by default. Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help my dumba** ?

Im having quite a dilemma choosing between these two. The Acer Swift 3 (i3-7130u) orhttps://tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=42763225 or the ASUS Vivobook 15 X542UN (i5-8550u) Bothhttps://tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=42867046 Both of them use the MX150 GPU, both are priced similarly as well. Which would be the better choice? Main purpose is basic typing/web browsing/ and a bit of photo-editing. Ocassionaly I play NBA2K as well. I can also get the MSi PL62 but I heard it's build quality is bad. P.S. These are the most that my budget allows as I am only a student.

The coveted 4k 144hz IPS Gysnc monitors pre-order price is leaked from a German Website https://www.sicomputers.nl/dis-27-asus-pg27uq-4k-hdr.html. Only costs over $3000 USD - More than building a system that could even hit 100 FPS in 4k high/ultra on AAA titles. Time to go go sell some organs

what is the best color, contrast etc. configuration for the Asus ROG Swift? to get the best settings possible for picture/video/gaming quality.

Hey there! Hoping for some advice, if you've got a few minutes to drop some. I recently purchased an ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q as an upgrade, but as you can imagine, my GTX 780 isn't going to really cut it anymore. Or at least push the monitor properly. I'm a huge Mass Effect fan, and I'm absolutely pumped for Andromeda. I'd like to be able to run it all out, max everything at 1440p and keep the solid 165 fps this monitor can deliver. Do you think two 1080's would do that, or should I wait to see what the 1080ti offers? Or maybe some other graphics solution? I'm certainly open to suggestions. Thanks for your time!

Im trying to decide on what gaming monitor to get and having trouble deciding between the PG279Q and the PG27AQ. PG27AQ: https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Monitors/ROG-SWIFT-PG27AQ/ PG279Q: http://www.asus.com/ca-en/ROG-Republic-Of-Gamers/ROG-SWIFT-PG279Q/ The only noticeable difference between these monitors that I see is that one is 1440p and the other is 4k. The reason I am looking at these two monitors is that I wanted a display that has g-sync and can still be used for playing games with my ps4. Both monitors support g-sync through displayport and have both a displayport and hdmi input. I'm also worried about scaling issues when playing games on my ps4 since the monitors are higher resolutions than the ps4 can output (1080p). Thanks, Spirit
