G-sync

[JoeNoIce]

i recently got an acer predator xb271hk and was trying to figure out why i cant get 144hz with g-sync and i went through a couple youtube vids

 

specs 

i7 6700k

32gb ddr4 2400

gtx 1070

 

i set all games graphics a bit lower then geforce experience recommends to get a lil more fps and still nothing

How is your monitor connected? As far as i know gsync will only work over DP1.2

Well gsync will match the refresh rate with your ingame fps so you will not get tearing. 

So if the FPS is sub 144 it will not do 144Hz

i get less than 30 in overwatch and i have medium settings v-sync off

With that setup something is up yes.

Mind running a benchmark like 3dmark or anything like that.

these are my results with G-sync off as suggested by 3dMark

[Dujith]

CPU score seems in order.

GPU however is not. Mine is 38,9 at test 1 and 34,2 at test 2

 

I have the same GPU (1070) with a i5 7600, which is same-ish as your i7

My setup is almost doubling what u have.

 

Try the benchmark again but this time connect with a HDMI. Just to check.

It looks like there is a problem with your setup atm

 

Also for diagnostics on our end: Post details, motherboard, type 1070 ect ect

That would be a hdmi setting. Needs to be 2.0 for higher hz.

 

But anyway, now that you mention 4k. That explains a lot, the 1070 will not do very good at 4k resolutions. Gaming at that resolution will need a 1080 at least to hit 60+ fps

 

In short your 1070 will never use the 144hz with gsync because it will never reach that fps.

apparently this monitor only supports up to 1.4 hdmi

Finally behind a computer so i could look up some details on the monitor.

Yes the hdmi is 1.4 so you would need to use DP, but i only asked that to test.

 

But more importantly the monitor is 60Hz max. So 144 will not happen whatever you do 

I would downscale to a lower resolution like 1440p with the 1070, 4k just is not going to happen.

beside overwatch i still dont get the full capability of g-sync in games like gta v or csgo

[Dujith]

I'm starting to wonder if you know what gsync does. Its not a boost or anything like that, but just a method to prevent tearing which unlike vsync will not lock you at a certain fps.

 

And again your 1070 will struggle with 4k with most modern games.

 

So my question to you is this:

What did you expect gsync to do, and what is your goal.

wtf am I reading lol 4k is 60hz you cant have 144hz, gsync aint a 144hz chip only

 

you should have buy the 1440p 144hz not the 4k 60hz

You can only do 60hz, idk why you have that monitor with a 1070
