OK. so I've spent 3hrs or so trying to get this 'freesync' monitor working as intended. NOT helped by Win 10 either.

I was actually really excited when this, err, monitor landed on my doorstep ... Amazingdotcon once again delivered this package a day early, god help anyone who has to work as this early delivery is a last minute email on the day they is gonna deliver. Anyways, I digress.

I have a Freesync Graphics Card, the Sapphire Nitro R9 380

I've tried:
1. Windows 'default' drivers
2. The DVD driver disk, I get, 2460G4 drivers (I have a 2460PF)
3. Been online and downloaded the 2460PF Beta drivers (these are the only ones I can find with my monitors number) and watched a video on how to 'correctly' install the drivers.
4. followed instructions to the letter from Video and HowTo site.
5. tore my hair out, oh wait, I ain't got any. :rolleyes:

about to request a return/refund RMA ... I bought this monitor for £189.99 and they are now selling for £210.71, wonder if I'll make a profit?


Would love to solve this "problem" as I see these 144s seem to be going back over the £200 mark.

Probably a daft question, but is there any chance it could be a cable issue?
 
What exactly is it not doing that needs you to install the driver manually?

could be, they didn't supply a DVI cable ... I'm using the one that 'should' work with any DVI. (has all the correct pins layout) Will try HDMI

V_R ... it first installed Windows' own drivers, so the monitor was just a "default monitor" ... I then attempted to install the (supposedly) correct drivers off the CD, the 'name' didn't match ... so I looked on the tinternet and found the 'problem' and 'solution'

... only, it don't work

:(

You need a dual link DVI-D or DisplayPort. Preferably the latter for 144Hz.

Yes I understand that mucks, but what I'm asking is, is the monitor not functioning as intended? Do you specifically need the driver? Is is this issue?

V_R ... I owe you a Brewery ... 6 god damn hours and all I needed was the right cable out of the box!

AOC still get NO points for this, I'll have to cancel the cancel now.
