And yet LG's newest ultrawide is limited to 120Hz because of G-SYNC. If you want to go above 120Hz with G-SYNC you have to pay a lot of money and have a whacking great fan stuck in your screen.
Like so many have said, each tech has it's issues.

Poll: Poll, nVidia CEO on Free Sync, is he believable or not?
- Thread starter humbug
- Start date

G-Sync still has better ranges and a better variable overdrive.

AMD gave Freesync to NVidia? That is a complete lie!

imo it does matter if hes wrong or not, because people buy into it and now you have hundreds of people on the Internet who believe his bs and start spreading miss information.

from a technical point of view freesync has the higher range, however panel makers do not use the broader range of VRR in adaptive sync because its the easy option not to.
so whilst your statement is true at this point in time because of nvidias module, doesn't mean it will be true in a week or month etc. especially now both companies use adaptive sync based on the spec
(freesync(adaptive sync) range can be 9-240hz)

Not really, and I wouldn't trust what NV said about FS or how they tested FS either:
“We never competed,” Huang said of upcoming FreeSync support. “(FreeSync) was never proven to work. As you know, we invented the area of adaptive sync. The truth is most of the FreeSync monitors do not work. They do not even work with AMD’s graphics cards.”
That's clearly complete BS.

Guess they've both got faults then.
If they try to implement a range from 1-144Hz like g-sync and implement a proper variable overdrive the price of the FreeSync monitor would likely increase. Both features are supported by all G-Sync monitors. The only FreeSync monitor which supports variable overdrive properly is the Nixeus EDG 27

the cost difference between a lower end and higher end scaler is not as big as you would think. i think most would be happy of a 5-10 quid increase for a bigger range. just not 250+ like a gsync module.
Hopefully it happens sooner rather than later as my only gripes with FreeSync are lack of variable over drive and the range. What with the video card prices increasing and all, lower frame rates is an inevitability and the monitor must perform the best in the 30-50 fps range without any ghosting. Already AC:Odyssey knocks down my framerates into the high forties in the towns and cities because of CPU bottleneck on an RTX 2080.
I just searched and there are loads of issues with flickering, brigthness flickering, black screen flickering etc on AMD GPUs.

Well of course there are gonna be issues with AMD GPUs. Up until today they're the only GPUs it worked on...
He literally said it's never been proven to work. That supercedes anything else he said because of how much of an absolute statement that is.
Yeah you did. See below.

I've done blind A/B tests of Freesync and G-Sync and more than a few times I picked Freesync as being G-Sync.
I've never liked Jensen as he is a horrible little man that has no concept of what good customer relations are so anything he says I take with a grain of salt or ignore completely.

It would appear Nvidia are desperate to standardise and claim ownership of variable refresh ranges but only after fully capitalising on Gsync and deliberately alienating half of the market.
“You have a freesync monitor but it can’t do what we say is ‘standard’? Oh well you’ll need to pay our tax then for a monitor which meets our specifications”
The whole thing is an absolute crock of ****. It may sound and appear beneficial, but in reality it’s just another way for Jensen to further his empire and market monopoly while killing the interest of competition.

Yup, as i've said before part of his mantra for what constitutes a fail was gsync not being enabled automatically, i'd be willing to bet the lions share failed on that alone because they were never meant to be gsync enabled in the first place. It's a hilariously slanted test system (if one even exists) they have in place just to make their more expensive solution look better. But sadly people gobble this crap up and regurgitate it because Herr Jensen spoke it and therefore it must be truth

From what he’s said and regurgitated himself over the years i.e. “there won’t be a new GTX series for the foreseeable future..” and more recently pitching RTX as if it’s a viable worthwhile investment, you would really hope everyone has woken up to the fact that what he says, has and always will be the absolute boundary of the truth.

So has this driver dropped yet?
Caporegime
Yup.

Just tried it and when applied the screen goes black then comes back. Tried Pendulum demo and BF1 and screen just blacks out....I had to then connect via HDMI to get screen back to sort out NVCP and disable G-Sync. Any ideas or suggestions?

Really? Mate, you need to stop reading what you want and reading what people type!
