I have an R9 290 and just recently got a 144Hz monitor for the first time. It supports FreeSync, which I of course turned on. But I noticed some odd behavior:
1) After coming out of a game or even a benchmark (like, say, Furmark) which was running well above 60 fps, the monitor reverts to a 60-65Hz refresh rate. Windows (Win7 64 bit) still says it's at 144Hz.
2) Changing refresh rates is usually ok, but sometimes it decides to hang at a black screen and force a restart.
I tried disabling everything that could be considered an "overlay" (Steam, F.Lux, etc.) but it doesn't seem to help. Also tried with a couple of different drivers (currently 18.9.3, not the latest from a recent rollback for other issues).
Anyone run into anything like this before? Hard to even know how to word it for a google search...
