I just bought the XG270HU for 500 and was disappointed when I realized my r9 280 not supported. FreeSync will work starting as low as 9 Hz thus 9 frames per second, a great and low value. I am using the supplied Display Port cable. CAN SOMEONE AT ACER SOLVE WINDOWS DRIVER 10 QUESTIONS. If you purchase a FreeSync monitor then choose one with an as low as possible dynamic range. It should have a max refresh rate of 144hz. Max refresh rate I can select in windows 10 is only 75hz. After doing this I can still only choose 60hz. Acer XG270HU omidpx 27-inch WQHD AMD FREESYNC (2560 x 1440) Widescreen Monitor. OS: Windows 10 CPU: FX8350 GPU: Fury Monitor: Acer XG270HU. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but what I did was just create a resolution of 2560X1440 120hz (I'm not expecting 144hz at 1440p), clicked OK and rebooted. I've also tried using CRU to create a custom resolution.
#XG270HU DRIVER WINDOWS 10 DRIVERS#
I've tried the drivers from the Acer site which are for Win 7/8.1 (they don't have any drivers for Win 10) and installed by disabling driver signature but this didn't seem to work either so with these drivers I'm still stick at 60hz. It also fixes Vsync issues in some games that treated 59hz as 59.00hz and v-synced under refresh rate causing constant tearing.

I'm on Windows 10 which picks the monitor up as a Generic PNP Monitor. If a program that is using a DirectX version older than 10 and doesnt recognize 59hz, it will use the 60hz made available by the driver to prevent conflicts.
#XG270HU DRIVER WINDOWS 10 UPGRADE#
I'm in the process of arranging to get it sent in for a firmware upgrade and will do as soon as Acer decides to get back to me as they said they would.įor now I'm trying to connect over DVI Dual Link but the maximum I can set the refresh rate to is 60 and Crimson drivers report 75hz maximum resolution. I do have a DP cable which gets me 144hz as expected but I have one of the older versions of this monitor which has a firmware problem making the overdrive feature not work over DP with FreeSync compatible cards causing awful motion blur and noticeable input lag.
