Interested here as well. Fudge, I am also running at 2560 x 1440 resolution with 8AA and GTX 780 TI card. I still get jaggies and it is bothersome as I like it seamless Also, take a FPS hit. Average is around 45 FPS. Can I ask you to share your graphic settings to compare?
Thanks for pics as well! Sorry for the delay in replay. Been trying to avoid WoFF till Christmas, it's not been working too well though If you haven't already take a look at my screenshots in dropbox (rarther than on SimHQ), the ones at 2560 x 1400. I don't have any sweetFX installed or the like. If you notice the jaggies in my pictures then it's just my eyes are not as good as they should be If you don't notice them however is where things may be interesting. Could try the reverse and you post a few screenies from your set up. Setting attached For reference the rest of my hardware setup I5 2500K @ 4.2GHz GTX 780TI Gigabyte windforce or something similar 16GB RAM Windows 7 Crucible 256GB SSD with WoFF installed onto

So you think one powerful video card is not enough for that? I'm just considering options for my next rig. Some reviews said it depends on the game. For today's first person shooters with lots of explosions and action (the latest Call of Duty or Battlefield title) you better have hi-powered cards in SLI or a dual GPU card. Even the new 980s are said to have problems with 4K rez with those types of games. On the other hand, for other types of games (flight sims???) a single 780 Ti can do the trick. That's what I've read.

I was looking at the Asus monitor also. But when this one went on sale for just $79 more than that one, I figured the fact that it is LED alone would make it worth it. Plus, as I say...future proofing. I'll still have it 2 years from now and then it's just a matter of buying the card. I've been watching that same ACER G-Sync 4K monitor myself. One major negative is the only connection is Displayport. That's it. But the price keeps fluctuating. Last week it dropped from $799 to $719 on Amazon. Post Turkey Day it was back up to $789. I have no idea where it's at now---on Amazon. Thanks for alerting us to the price on Tiger Direct.

Hate to tell you this, HEllshade, but I think you have your monitors mixed up. The Acer 4K with G-Sync is the XB280HK. That' model does not exist on Tiger Direct's site. I just checked. If it was old out, wouldn't it say "out of stock" or something similar? It isn't there at all.

How did you find that? I typed in the precise model name and number into the search bar. It came back with "no such item' or words to that effect. You were already my idol because of your incredible videos and screenshots. Now you're godlike.

Tiger Direct has the new 28" Acer G-Sync monitors in stock and I've had my eye on the 1920 x 1080 144hz one for $599 hoping it would go on sale. But it didn't. Instead, it's big brother, the 4k version dropped from $799 down to $679 ($120 savings). Some questions from a non-technical geezer: I'm going to switch over to a G-sync monitor. It will be the Acer XB270 (the 1920 x 1080 one mentioned above). It will be matched up with a GTX 980 card. I don't have much of an understanding of what the various Nvidia 3d settings actually control. I've just followed the advice that I've seen and used those settings. So my question is - when I change over to a G-sync monitor what do I need to do with the Nvidia settings that I've been using for the past few years? For example, should vertical sync still be set to "on"? What about the other settings? What Nvidia settings do you use with your G-sync monitor? Also, SLI should still be disabled when using WOFF, correct? Thanks

When you pick your game in the nVidia control setting, you pick G-Sync versus V-Sync and that is it.

So I'll have G-Sync enabled (instead of vertical sync) in Nvidia settings. And that's all there is to it? Yes. Everything else (antialiasing, texture filtering, etc.) should stay the same as what I've been using? Yes. At one point, quite a while ago, I heard that (for WOFF) it was better to use Nvidia global settings instead of specific program settings. Is that true? Not 100% sure, but I've never read anything saying that that is recommended. At any rate, using the WOFF program profile works fine for me. If not, and I decide to use the program setting, it should refer to cfs3.exe instead of a woff file, correct? You are correct, sir. What about WOFF workshop setting - should VSync be force on, force off, or driver setting? I would leave it to driver setting. Basically, you want your driver to tell your video card what to do, not the application(WOFF).
