I think the Swifts evaporated in the US lol
I don't see anyone even near the border that has one of these yet.
Blame Canada.

Well I'm beyond stoked on this monitor! 2560x1440 is awesome!!! color is awesome! No hickups out of the box at all! tried a slew of games....AWESOME! runnning 80 brightness 50 contrast and color temp user mode So worth the wait. My only grip is I wish this bad boy was 36"      This is my first 2560x1440p gaming monitor. WOW! I'm in total awe. Color is great. Gsync is AWESOME! The bezel and mat black finish is AWESOME!~ so glad I went this route instead of getting another 1080p

Sorry to hear about that. I wish you luck on your quest. I will really enjoy this new monitor, I have been running a Samsung 25.5" TOC series for about 9 years.  I have been waiting for a monitor like this to come out for a long time.

Sajin, let me know what you come up with for a brightness setting.
I'll most likely be leaving mine at the default 80 for brightness & 50 contrast. Getting used to it already.

So, I'm having no issues running gsync with a single card. SLI doesn't seem to be working right. Driver sweaped and started fresh, same results. Disable SLI runs perfect. when I tested SLI and GSYNC last Jan/Feb I had no issues, they ran flawlessly together. I hope Nvidia comes out with A driver quick. 2560x1440 takes some power to keep above 60-70fps. Anyone else running sli and if so how goes it for you? I didn't release after plugging in the Swift and changing my 2nd monitor cable it had disabled SLI so when initially starting testing game they all worked great. I noticed my fps was low then saw SLI disabled. Enabled it and  !!!! Come on Nvidia! I know you can fix this. SLI ran great before lets do make it happen again now.

G-SYNC isn't working for you with SLI?

it's not working correctly. Not like when I first tried last January. the red light is on, Gysnc is enabled but it's not behaving right. there is a weird slow motion kind of effect. I wouldn't call it stuttering exactly, just not fluid and smooth like it should be, like it does running a single card.
Sanjin are you running SLI?

Yeah, in some games I noticed it wasn't very fluid and smooth like it should be.

What game? And had you tried sli before getting the monitor? I play Final Fantasy XIV and I get the same experience you're talking about (sort of a slow motion, then catch up action). My problem is because SLI isn't supported properly in that game.

I notice quite a bit of stuttering in BF4 with SLI and G-SYNC enabled vs G-SYNC off

Have you tested with a driver from back when you say that Gsync/SLI worked for you?? Just to see...

Make sure that when you are in BF4 the monitor is at 144hz. I have had no issues with SLI.

yah i have the Nvidia control panel set at 144hz. I need to check that the monitor is set to 144hz while in game. I tried 2 different DP cables. I bought a 10' on newegg that is DP1.2a (thick) cable. Same result with the cable that came with the monitor I think Dakon is right, that is the only thing that I didn't check was the monitor itself while in game. turbo button. the monitor may be running at a different speed/HZ when in Gsync mode in game. I'm going to bring my SLI rig to my other house where the VG248QE Gysnc monitor is at and test it out on that again. DAMN! I want to leave work right now!

Glad that fixed it. I was 99.9% sure it would as the monitor is at 60hz by default :)
