how do i enable freesync?

[Ashleyyyy]

i want to enable freesync. my monitor supports it, and i googled how to enable it, but everywhere it days to go to the display tab in radeon settings. but i don't have that... 

 

where are those options now?

Well, your signature says you have a 780Ti, which doesn't support FreeSync. 

 

EDIT: And a 290X, missed that. 

 

Have you got both in one system?

the 780Ti is conencted to my host OS, which is Linux and the 290X is passed through to a Windows VM.

I think you only have to enable it on your monitor 

Also you need displayport

and newest drivers

In that case, you'll need to get access to AMD's settings control panel (Catalyst I think it's called). The setting should be in there somewhere. Some monitors can also require the setting being enabled on the monitor too. 

 

As it's running through a VM, it wouldn't surprise me if there were a few issues getting it running.

You need to turn it on in the monitor settings, and you need to have Radeon drivers installed which I assume you have done. You should have Radeon Settings icon in the toolbar, open it and enable Freesync there, I included photos of my monitor and my settings as an example.

my monitor doesn't have displayport, yet it does support it and i can enable it on the monitor...

i have enabled it on my monitor.

First turn it on on the monitor, then turn it on in the amd control panel, then you need to use a displayport cable, and if it still doesnt work then running it through VM could be the problem.

What is your monitor?

You don't have Radeon Settings icon? Have you tried searching it in the windows search?

Can you send me a screenshot please?

[Meritorius]

Found something:

"

1.Leave only one monitor for this operation(HDMI)

2.Delete C:\AMD folder

3.Uninstall all AMD software and clean your system in safe mode by DDU program and install 16.11.5 or 17.2.1 driver  Try 16.11.5 first!

• Windows 10 (32-bit | 64-bit)
• Windows 8.1 (32-bit | 64-bit)
• Windows 7 (32-bit | 64-bit)

4.Then reboot and plug your second monitor ,checking that your OS has installed correct driver for each monitor"

Your monitor has it's own driver, did you enable it or are you using some generic one?

I was asking for the screenshot to see what you are using.
