Guess what... My G-SYNC board burned out already. Talk about uber fail! 

EDIT: Fixed it. 

Had to power cycle my monitor again to get the g-sync board to work again. 

your running SLI you have to get use to alt+tab in/out of game to get gsync or vsync-on to work and sync up right.
 
I've been having to do that with SLI since back when I was running 690. I only found I had that issue with Vsync-on and now with Gsync. With Vsync off I never had to deal with Alt+tab'ing in/out of games.

Here is my first post on the issue...

This is what happened...

Fired up Metro LL, monitor immediately went black and said (out of signal), hit CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen, monitor signal came back on while viewing the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen, hit cancel on the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen, now at desktop, game auto minimized while viewing CTRL+ALT+DEL screen. I tried to restore the minimized game by selecting it on the taskbar, no dice, had to perform the above sequence again to regain monitor singal as the screen went back while restoring the game. Used task manager to kill the game. Restarted my PC. Tried firing up Metro again, fired up without a problem, noticed g-sync was not enabled (monitor led was just glowing white, should be red when g-sync is on), exited game. Open NVCP, setup G-SYNC menu missing. Uninstalled the video drivers, cleaned everything up using driver sweeper & ccleaner. Rebooted PC. Performed a clean install of the latest drivers. G-SYNC menu still missing. Uninstalled the drivers again, clean everything up using driver sweeper and ccleaner.

Accessed the registry...
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Video (highlighted the Video key and pressed the delete key to clear all NVIDIA display GUID's.)
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video (highlighted the Video key and pressed the delete key to clear all NVIDIA display GUID's.)
Rebooted PC. Shutdown PC. Turned off the monitor, unplugged it from the wall, press and held the monitor power button for 30 seconds to power drain it, plugged the monitor power cable back into the wall, turned on the monitor, start pc, performed a clean install of the latest drivers. G-SYNC menu now back, setup nvcp settings, fire up metro, g-sync working (red led shown on monitor), all good. 

 
All I had to do this time was... turn off the monitor, unplugged it from the wall, press and held the monitor power button for 30 seconds to power drain it, plugged the monitor power cable back into the wall, turn the monitor on, g-sync now detected inside nvcp.

Sorry to hear.  800 dollar monitor...time to send it back!

Today I was playing Homefront and it locked up. So I ended the program and re-ran it. This time my monitor light did not turn red and there was visible tearing and it locked up again, ended program checked my Nvidia settings and Gsync was set. Rebooted and started the game up and the light didn't change and I still had tearing, minimized game checked my Nvidia settings and Gsync was set. Went back into the game and went to graphics settings turned Vsync on and the monitor light changed to red. Turned off vsync monitor light was still red and it was obvious Gsync was working again.
Not sure if the crashes had anything to do with it or not but thought I would give the whole story.

Just so folks are aware, there now appears to be a General Hardware section post regarding this monitor.  It looks like it relates to impressions, pictures, tests, etc.

Where is your AGP rig? 

 
windows XP
AMD Athlon XP3200 
2GB ram
140GB HARD drive
2optical drives
450w PSU some no name I bought frys back in the day
Everything still fires up and works.

 
I don't think the card can power the swift. I'm using 300+ MB's of VRAM with only chrome open with three tabs.

I'm currently posting from the swift.
This thing is incredible. BF4 at 2560x1440 on ultra was in the 80-120 FPS range. Gsync smoothes the crap out of battlefield 4 lol.
 
If only I could get the HDMI2DP adapter working to play Xbox One instead of having to play on a separate display when not PC gaming.
Getting a blank screen from the swift with the Startech HDMI2DP via HDMI (PC and Xbox One).

I have the HDMI2DP by Startech, it's active, but the crap don't work hahaha

Asus will also RMA for ANY pixel issues.  I bought from Newegg and they said if I had one bright, dim or off i could RMA.

LOL @ the great Houdini thread.  Nothing can lock it down.  
 
OK, on topic, I'm still in love with this monitor.  Good luck to anyone trying to find one.  Tiger Direct apparently has them in stock (but you pay tax and shipping):

One week in now running on the Swift.  I'm still as impressed with every game I try it out with as I was on day one...

Sorry about the thread locking guys, we will have discussion internally to make sure it doesn't happen again.
