Gregster getting stutter with SLI and GSync how can you rate it so highly? Who to blame for it? And is it all games with SLI?
I can tell you right now when I get Freesync monitor and it don't work with Crossfire it won't be getting the praise you giving it.

Because it is stunning :cool: Don't mistake the odd game either and you couldn't even see the stutter when I showed it :D
 
I really wish Nvidia / ATI collaborated on this awesome piece of tech, it offers so much of a difference that in my opinion, should be baseline across all GPUs and gaming monitors. :(

I don't like the idea of buying say a FreeSync monitor and having to purchase ATI cards as long as i have that monitor, most people can easily keep one monitor for 5+ years per time before upgrading again.

I know it all boils down to farming phat stacks, but i feel like being stuck with a certain brand of GPU to take advantage of G-Sync / FreeSync will become both inconvenient and expensive for gamers.

Sizes between the 590 and 850 are the same (23.6" and 28"), but the 850 also has the 31.5" option so that can't be the case.

I was thinking it might be a 21:9 ultra-wide.

Yer, I think you are spot on there. Re-read it and it states the 31.5" UE, so I assume that is the widey wide screen :)
 
Yer they can and if it is viable for them, they will. AMD only asked if VESA could add it into the DP standard and didn't actually have anything to do with Adaptive Sync (or something like that).
 
You do realise that freesync and gsync are practically the same thing? The only difference is the location of the hardware controller. Freesync - controller on card. Gsync - controller on monitor.

For NVIDIA to support use adaptive sync on compatible monitors they would need to put the hardware controller on their cards as well. If adaptive sync monitors take off in a big way then they probably will support it. Especially if Intel get on board too.

Not quite, the adaptive-Sync is the vesa standard. FreeSync is AMD's implementation of it using the hardware on the card.

So if Nvidia support Adaptive-Sync, that just means they support the vesa standard and not FreeSync.
