FreeSync Issues #318

Open GitOeli opened 4 years ago

GitOeli commented 4 years ago

Hello, I am using a 75Hz FreeSync Monitor. When I am running Prismatic (unoffical) the monitor can only run at 75Hz or 40Hz. Is there a solution for this issue?

with any grab interval? there's a long thread about freesync issues #199 , see if you have other similar problems but long story short, we don't know what's causing any of that with desktop duplication

The grab interval doesnt seem to make a difference. But I've noticed I am running out of baudrate. I am using an Arduino Uno with FastLED and Adalight. The strips have 100 LEDs. I dont think this is the same issue like in #199. My Freesync is kinda working, but it can only do 40Hz or 75Hz, nothing in between. Even if I am switching to Moodlight mode, its the same issue. Even with the light turned off its the same. I have to quit the software to get FreeSync back. What do you mean with desktop duplication? I dont have any output duplicated.

Desktop Duplication as windows API for capturing screen, it's the default in Prismatik. You can try the old method: in Profiles check "Expert mode", in Experimental switch to WinAPI. It'll use more CPU. Do you have the issue when Prismatik starts directly in moodlamp/soundviz mode? (as opposed to launching in capture mode and switching to lamp..)

Switching to WinAPI resolved the issue. Thanks! It didnt seem to make a difference in what mode the software started before the API switch.
