ROG Swift

[jchrismando]

Got mine yesterday. It's a definite upgrade. Love it when things are working well. I have an issue however. With g sync enabled I seem to get an artificial frame rate cap of 60 on shadows of mordor and the heaven benchmark. Also, in diablo 3 I get frame rate drops to the low 30s intermittently when the action is intense and then it pops back up to 144. Without g sync on its 170 - 220 fps reliably.

Any thoughts?

have you changed the refresh rate in withdows resolution yet??

[pcalexander]

Either change the refresh rate in game with the button on the side of the monitor, or to not have to toggle it each time, you can change the refresh rate using the nvidia control panel under change resolution.

Well. I have the refresh rate set to 144hz under the nvidia control panel. Without messing with anything between games I get 144 fps until things get demanding in Diablo 3 but I appear to be capped at 60fps in shadows of mordor or the heaven benchmark. As an aside prior to plugging the Swift in I was getting 120ish FPS in mordor and it bumps back up with g sync turned off.

And to be clear, i push over 200fps in diablo with very little variation without g sync and stay in the low 90-100s on shadow of mordor. I was aware that g sync would cap my fps to the max refresh rate of my monitor. I was not expecting a performance hit.

oddly enough I was messing around with my overclocking options and ran into a system failure. Low and behold its working like a charm now. 

 

I forgot the first rule of trouble shooting, when in doubt... Reboot!
