Freesync Windmill Demo

Space Lynx · Apr 21, 2021

AMD apparently has taken this demo down, so I can't find it anywhere.

I wanted to check if Freesync still is turned on with the "driver only" install of the latest AMD drivers from yesterday which now allow 3 different install options.

@W1zzard

Can you test this or provide me the Freesync Windmill Demo?

The amd demo is awful and since it's down, you can use the nvidia pendulum demo instead. It works on freesync too.

I did not know the nvidia one was compatible. Thank you, thread closed.

Hopefully the driver only install still has freesync enabled... I will never have to deal with software again!!!! glorious

In case the nVidia pendulum doesn't work out for you.

Wouldn't hurt to check back in and let us know if FreeSync is working with the "driver only" install. I did the "minimal install" because I was concerned about that very thing.

It says my Freesync monitor is not Freesync compatible, perhaps because it uses Vsync with the 1060 6GB my system has.

I don't think the windmill demo works with nvidia, unlike the pendulum demo working with both.

i will report back this weekend sometime if the driver only install does indeed work with freesync.

driver only = freesync does not work.

minimal install is needed.

I don't think you understand what I was doing, I did use that. Read the thread before posting please.

Practicing some necromancy here to share info and confirm that Freesync doesn't work with AMD External Events Utility service disabled.

BTW, Liquid Cool's DL link is still valid, for those who want a quick test.
