Enabling AMD Radeon FreeSync On Linux 5.0

-
FreeSync is now working well for me on ArchLinux now with kernel 5.0.3-arch1-1-ARCH, mesa 19.0.0-1, and GNOME 3.22 (on Xorg) with Dota 2 on OpenGL.
Hardware:
Pixio PX277
Sapphire Radeon RX Vega 64
Code:➤ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/r.conf Section "Device" Identifier "AMD" Driver "amdgpu" Option "DRI" "3" Option "VariableRefresh" "true" EndSection ➤ grep Variable ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log [ 17.065] (**) AMDGPU(0): Option "VariableRefresh" "true" [ 17.135] (**) AMDGPU(0): VariableRefresh: enabled ➤ xrandr --props | grep vrr vrr_capable: 1 vrr_capable: 0 vrr_capable: 0 vrr_capable: 0

So I followed this article's instructions & everything looks good. Freesync doesn't seem to do anything in Borderlands 2, even though I capped framerate at 120fps.
I have an RX570 and Aopen 24HC1QR 144hz monitor. Connection is via DisplayPort. I've got freesync set to on in the monitor settings.
I have the steam overlay showing fps change when I cap it at various framerates, but the monitor on-screen display of framerate never changes from 144.
Anyone have any ideas?

Also, some info:
Code:rob2@rob2-desktop:~$ cat ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log | grep -i Var [ 58.505] (**) AMDGPU(0): Option "VariableRefresh" "true" [ 58.563] (**) AMDGPU(0): VariableRefresh: enabled rob2@rob2-desktop:~$ uname -a Linux rob2-desktop 5.0.8-050008-generic #201904170732 SMP Wed Apr 17 07:35:23 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You can test freesync with these free games: Euro Truck Simulator 2 Demo ,Project: Gordon Demo ,War Thunder

Hello I am currently using Pop!_OS(Ubuntu Based), on kernel 5.0 and mesa 19 with an amd Vega 56 as my gpu. I cannot get the VariableRefresh rate to work at all, not even error. I have set the conf settings in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf to the values in this article and have restarted multiple times in hoping it would start logging. For some reason the "DRI 3" option is working and loading fine but it is not loading VariableRefresh. If anyone can help me get in the right direction to get this working i would appreciate it.
