Hello guys,

I just got my new Acer Nitro XV273KP. I really like it. It looks amazing.
But there is one thing I don´t get to work. When I activate HDR on the monitor, I can´t activate Freesync anymore!
I hope I am just doing something wrong...

Another question would be if the Predator XB273KP the G-Sync version of the Nitro has version 1 or 2 of the G-Sync scaler?
If it has version 2 I would be able to use HDR and G-Sync at the same time.

So does anyone know something about these topics?

    Oh freesync doesn't work with duel Displayport cables which is needed for 4K 144hz 10 bit @ 4:4:4, the info is in the review.

    Thanks but I know that one.
    By now I can answer all my questions:
    1 ) Acer Nitro XV273KP:
    -Freesync won´t work when HDR is enabled
    -HDR won´t work when you go for the Duel DP setup

    2 ) Predator XB273KP:
    - It has the G-SYNC HDR scaler
    -G-SYNC and HDR work perfectly together

    So it isn't Freesync 2 then, apparently that is required for Freesync to work with HDR. Have you tried both Displayport ports separately? What about the HDMI2.0 ports? Freesync can work on both DP and HDMI not sure about that monitor though.
