I would love to test some Adaptive Sync monitors

Does anybody have a FreeSync-compatible AMD GPU they could give me? OK it was worth a shot. :p

On a serious note, when is the AMD 390x due for release? I haven't been keeping up with the latest GPU news as you can tell. I was happily going about my business with my Nvidia GPU and secondary Radeon 270X for some AMD-specific testing. But now Adaptive Sync monitors are upon us and I don't have a GPU that will work at all with the technology. :(
 
I thought that was a link to new cards, but it took me to matts profile, you can imagine my disappointment! :o

I think part of PCM2's concern is that (please correct me) he takes a lot longer than most doing a review as he uses it for a month or so, which result in excellent reviews but maybe problematic loaning extra stuff for that long

still I hope its sorted out we need GOOD reviews of these new screens :)

Buy a used 260X and sell it on again once done testing, you'll only lose a tenner.

+1 for bugging Matt on spilling the beans on new GPU's :D
 
Thanks guys! I'm sure I will be able to get hold of something suitable. Mei is right, I do generally like to spend a fair bit of time getting to know a monitor. Doing a nice leisurely review. Nothing I hate more than those rushed ones where I am testing but not really enjoying the monitor. This is especially the case when I am testing something new and a bit different, such as FreeSync. :)
 
Well guys, I thank you all for your support on this thread. And especially the guys who posted with relevant @ tags on Twitter.

Unfortunately it seems AMD don't care if monitors using their technology get proper, thorough and informative reviews in the near future.

Hehe.

I should also have said "monitors supporting their technogy". Don't want to upset anybody with FreeSync vs Adaptive-Sync semantics. ;)

Hahah ...


To be honest id just like a solid availability date & price for 1 or two of the monitors, or confirmation on that "upgrade" for the monitor OCUK is already selling.

If OCUK put a price and an estimated shipping date online (as long as the price wasn't stupid for the size/res/refresh rate) id pre order the next day ;)
