Question / Help ATI Freesync and Capturecard! Help please!

[Fearce]

Hello

im new to the forum but from all the Googlework i cant find an answer. Im about to buy a new Monitor. The one i was thinking off is the 144hz AOC G2460PF. The Problem is:

I have a second Computer and i capture via HDMI to stream on Twitch with 60FPS. Will Freesync work with the Passthrough and an HDMI to Displayport Connector? Because thats what i need due to the Capturecard has only HDMI in and output. Will the Passthrough work with 144 hz or just with 60?

I hope you all can help me.

Thanks much

Never tried it myself. Here's one person's solution, except with G-Sync, not Freesync:

Its entirely possible that no one on these forums has tried it though.

Depends on your capture card.
No cap cards I'm aware of currently support Freesync or GSync. Most top out at a 60hz signal supported, even for passthrough.
You may have to mirror/clone your main monitor to one of the other outputs at a 60hz vsync rate if your GPU allows you to set separate rates for mirrored outputs. Not all do, and it can be a real hassle to make it happen (and retain the settings through resolution changes).

Might try emailing AMD support and asking if there's a way to split-mirror like that, if the option isn't there in the Radeon control panel.

Well thanks. That can help. Its not optimal because then i would have 2 displays running the game all time and i cant multitask on my second display while playing a game. So one monito and one pc is just there for the whole streamingjob.
