Hi there,
Today my new Asus Rog PG278Q screen arrived and I started messing with it :)
After playing a bit around with some games I found everything working as advertised.
GSync was detected, enabled and when playing games I can see the power led from the monitor switch from white to red, which indicates that GSync is enabled.
So next I wanted to test out the 3D vision mode by using a V1 kit.
Everything is detected, and if I select Enable stereoscopic 3d in the driver, it tells me "Gsync will be disabled" , I agree and the wizard is starting. It detects all the right things, but as soon as it switched to the actual stereoscopic screen , the monitor goes "out of range"...
I tried the process again and kept an eye on the power led. The following happens when starting the wizard :
The led goes from white while loading the wizard, to red when displaying the wizard.... Indicating the Gsync is still on ? As soon as the wizard wants to switch to 3d , the led goes from red, to white, to green (indicating 3d is on)...to orange (error) showing the out of range message.
So next I tried unchecking the "Enable G-Sync" box and apply, this seems to make a change, but as soon as I switch a menu and return to check the setting, it is checked once again. Also if I go to the manage 3d settings, and set vertical sync to Off, then apply, it just switches back to G-Sync again... So somehow its impossible for me to turn off this setting ? Would any of you have a suggestion on why this happens, and how to prevent it ?
This is on driver version 344.48 but i tried it as well with 344.11 which have the same results.
The video cards are ASUS GeForce GTX 780 DirectCU II in SLI (both tested with and without SLI enabled)
I tested the settings on 2560x1440 @ 144Hz / 120Hz / 60Hz , 1920x1080 @ 144Hz / 120Hz / 60Hz
Windows 8.1
An other thing I noticed is the difference between brightness when running on 2560x1440 @ 144Hz and 120Hz. Where the 120 Hz is about half bright as the other settings. Could anyone explain that to me ?
Thanks in advance for any help you could offer :)
Gerard.

I have a 3d vision 2 kit so take this with a grain of salt (though I doubt they are that different).
I did a clean install with latest drivers (344.48) before using and havnt had a issue yet. When I enable 3d it automatically disables gsync (as in I do not have to untick the Enable Gsyng box and disable it manually)
Whenever you get the "Out of range" pop up on the monitor try unplugging the power to monitor then plug it back in (this happened to me after first getting the monitor but after re-seating the cables it has not happened since)
As far as brightness is concerned.. it shouldnt change just from you chaning the refresh rate. I would manually put the monitor into ULMB mode and adjust the light boost setting to the max (for when you enter 3d or ulmb mode) so that brightness does not change just from the change in mode (if you hit the monitor osd menu it shows if ulmb is enabled and what refresh rate the monitor is running in on the top of the osd)
If I remember right, ULMB and 3d vision only run in 120hz which is why you may be seeing brightness change due to it being in ULMB or 3d vision mode.
Hope this helps.

So after using display driver cleaner to remove all versions of the nvidia drivers in safe mode, the reinstalling the latest driver using custom install and checking the clean install box (which will remove any and all profiles) it started to work :)

I am having the same problem. I tried reinstalling drivers using a Clean Install, and unplugging and reconnecting my monitor. I still can't turn G-SYNC off. I want to test out my monitor's Ultra-Low Motion Blur, but I can't until I disable G-SYNC. Any advice?
EDIT: Do you think it might be because I failed to install 3D vision drivers? I don't intend to use 3D features, so I didn't bother installing them. Should I?

I tried using Display Driver Uninstaller, which is what I think smeevil meant by "display driver cleaner". This worked. (Wow, ultra-low motion blur is really cool.)
I wonder if this is a problem with the Geforce drivers, or if it's a Windows problem? If it's a glitch in the drivers, the developers should be aware of it.
Anyway, I'm glad there's a fix.

I activated g-sync, but my power led never changes color. It sits at white when monitor is on and orange when in sleep. Other than that, it does nothing as advertised here
"The monitor LED changes color – what do the different modes mean?
White – normal ‘fast’ gaming (up to 144Hz)
Green –Nvidia Stereoscopic 3D hardware plugged into the PC and 3D Vision enabled
Red – G-Sync enabled
Yellow – Ultra Low Motion Blur
Orange - Standby"
Any options?
