Is it on the list? It may just flicker and have random blackouts as we have seen on the CES videos from the NVidia suite.Great news, finally Nvidia surrender to reason!!
My 1440p UW Acer will perform great with my 2080 RTX.
the guy who interviewed nvidia asked them why it was blinking and nvidia said; try this monitor with an AMD card and you'l get the same blinking. hence it being a panel issue therefor(again they mentioned this) most of the freesync monitors that don't have issues with amd cards although likely wont see issues on nvidia cards.
therefor 1 or 2 panels having issues with vrr doesnt mean non of the other 398 wont work. its the same issue for both companies. its a panel qc issue more than likely.

The G-Sync module still has its advantages even in midrange. You get the full range of variable refresh rate, ULMB, guaranteed compensation at lower frame rates and superior overdrive performance. Not all monitors are ripoffs.The S2716DG is sub 400 and I have a hard time finding a single FreeSync monitor supporting all these features in 1 package at its price point
trueYeah but he should have actually tried it instead of just accepting nvidias answer to be fair, thats poor journalism when you just take people for their word.
Did you notice the title of that article.
NVIDIA To Officially Support VESA Adaptive Sync (FreeSync) Under “G-Sync Compatible” Branding
They understand that, for the general public, FreeSync has become shorthand catch all term for this tech. It will be a struggle to change this now it has taken hold, regardless of the history, standards and marketing.
No commonly known a VESA adaptive sync is it not? Freesync is just AMDs name for itSo we are agreed. Nvidia are using Adaptive Sync, commonly known as FreeSync. So for all intents and purposes Nvidia support FreeSync.
Some FreeSync 2 monitors don't even meet G-Sync 1 standards. I am finding monitors with ranges like 48-144 and 72-144 and since AMD's website isn't updated another handful of 30-144hz monitors. Monitors with ranges greater than 40-144 shouldn't even exist.G-SYNC Ultimate = freesync 2
the samsung one with 72-144 was updated with a firmware update to make it 48-144.Some FreeSync 2 monitors don't even meet G-Sync 1 standards.

Assassins creed Odyssey runs at 62 fps on ultra on RTX 2080. That's just 14fps away from the baseline.
Not really. Monitors list FreeSync in their features and that is how they are marketed, not VESA Adaptive Sync. So for the general public the technology/feature is commonly known as just FreeSync. This is why sites like AnandTech stick it in brackets when they are talking about Adaptive Sync.No commonly known a VESA adaptive sync is it not? Freesync is just AMDs name for it
the samsung one with 72-144 was updated with a firmware update to make it 48-144.
The bottom line is..... I will be saying "Freesync" over "Variable refresh rate", as it is the easier to say out loud

ocuk sent an interesting email which read browse our range of gsync certified freesync monitors. quite the mouthfulI do wonder if they will start listing Gsync if they get certified by Nvidia?
indeed. but we dont live in a perfect world yet.Which is still terrible.
