Its good to know AMD haven't just sat on their hands expecting scaler designers to adopt Adaptive-Sync off their own back, we all know they wont do that, they need a prod of some sort.
Good work AMD.
Good work AMD.

Could have gone into the main FreeSync thread?

I really need to see Gsync in action. I can't get excited about it or Freesync yet...

It was, humbug posted it there but then he edited his post ( he posted before tommybhoy as well
)I really need to see Gsync in action. I can't get excited about it or Freesync yet...
Yup I get the feeling that both of these technologies need to be seen in person, just to see who much of a game changer they are. ( assuming that freeSync is just as good as Gsync)

Done and if you get chance to see it, don't or at least don't take your wallet

Why is it any time there is an update on anything AMD, 9/10 the info gets merged?
It's not as if there is a singular Gsync thread, there has been a few of them and they never got merged...

Well in this case it could be that you posted the same info that humbug did only 2 minutes later, but humbug decided to edit his post, then rusty asked why the info wasn't posted in the main FreeSync thread. Hence one of the mods moving it.
To be honest it would be better if things like this were kept merged. We really don't need a brand new thread for every piece of *sync/Mantle/DX12 news.
Caporegime
Exactly. Humbug posted here and for some reason decided to change it to *Crickets*.
It gets hard for people to keep up, so better to keep the info together in a single thread

Because this forum is run by Nvidia..
Not sure that joke was really funny the first time let alone the 15th

It's not even that much news.
Just a few companies (Who were obviously already in support of Freesync, or it'd be dead in the water) saying they're supporting it
Supposedly monitors that support Freesync are meant to be getting shipped to tech sites this month for previews ect.
With them hitting the market end of this year/start of next year.
Hope its soon tho,wanna see if freesync is the real deal.If it is i will be all over one of those monitors on launch
Caporegime
Pfft, it won't support my 7990 and 7970 as they are "too old". (280x is still being sold).
So I'll still be dumping my AMD cards ASAP for something nVidia for my RoG Swift
The ROG Swift is the best monitor by a mile I have ever owned. Fantastic piece of kit
Well, if it works like G-Sync, when it eventually gets released, you AMD guys are in for a treat
IT should, Gsync and Freesync are the same thing. The only difference is with Gysnc the controller is built into the monitor(the gysnc module), freesync the controller is built into the video card.
This is why older discrete AMD cards don't support freesync because they have to build the controller into the card. And also why more Nvidia cards support Gsync because all the GPU needs is a 1.2 display port connection which all kepler cards have.
Does this mean freesync monitors will be a lot cheaper than gysnc equivalents?

Because this forum is run by Nvidia..
We've got what, 3 AMD reps on this forum?
How many Nvidia reps?
Also the last poll that was done showed more AMD owners.
I think this is closer to an AMD one than an Nvidia one.
