No Freesync in PUBG?

matses_51 Jan 19, 2018 4:26 PM

Hi,

I just bought this monitor and have not tried it that much, but it seems to be working excellent with all games tested except PUBG.

The screen in built FPS counter is mostly locked to 75 FPS, but occasional dips down to 40 which is the lowest Freesync range on this monitor.

The game stutters and the game experience is actually worse than on my old monitor that did not have Freesync.It also happening on the opening start screen.

In general this game has run like crap on both my R9 290X and now the Fury X, but I assume this is because it is a NVIDIA "Satanworks" title.

I have tried running the games with different settings:

Enhanced sync: ON/OFF

Chill: ON(60-75 FPS)/OFF

FRTC: ON(75 FPS)/OFF

Vsync: ON/OFF

I have noticed that the reported FPS from the GPU is locked to 60 when when VSYNC is on (monitor reports 75), so I assume the game "thinks" it is a 60 Hz monitor.

Windows is reporting 75 Hz.

Update:

I think I found the problem.

I started Rise of the Tomb Raider and got the same issue, FPS on the monitor locked to 75 or 40 Hz and a lot of stutter.
I alt+tab out of the game to check something, and when I alt+tab back Freesync worked fine. The monitor refresh rate was adapting and the game run smoothly.
So I tried the same with PUBG and got the the same result. Open the game, the alt+tab in and out and Fressync starts to work.

It is Relive who is causing this, if I disable Relive I don't need to alt+tab.

  Do you have instant replay enabled in Relive?

    Hi amdmatt,
    
    Yeah, when Relive is on I have it enabled
    
    It is a bit buggy in PUBG in general, turning chill on/off also seems to "lock" the refresh rate.
    Tend to leave the overlay alone when I am playing that game

      We are investigating an issue with Instant Replay, could be causing this.
