AMD admit that the gpu doing all the work will have a negative effect on framerates?

No!

The last benefit is essential to gamers, as Project FreeSync does not need to poll or wait on the display in order to determine when it’s safe to send the next frame to the monitor.
Project FreeSync uses industry-standard DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync protocols to pre-negotiate supported min/max refresh rates during plug’n’play, which means frame presentation to the user will never be delayed or impaired by time-consuming two-way handshakes.

How this shows we must wait and see! CSGO would be a good start...
 
There is some clever marketing going on here.

for one the first freesync monitors to market that we know of don't have G sync versions so they can't be $100 cheaper as they don't exist.

I will wait and see how it all pans out :) my super cheap gibbo special 290 is doing just fine without g and free sync. :o If free sync is as good as Gsync time will tell and i'll be happy to try them both ;)

Nowhere in that does it say thay gsync DOES have to wait on polling or wait on the display, you are just assuming that as it is listed as a benefit of adaptive sync that it is a benefit OVER gsync, but to me it reads exactly as a benefit over vsync, as polling and waiting are how vsync works

You really acting dumb or just dumb?? am not sure on this one.. Because it clearly says three benefits over Gsync..

no licensing fees for adoption, no expensive or proprietary hardware modules, and no communication overhead.


Does it say anything about vSYNC??? No
Does it say anything about Gsync??? Yes

How is Project FreeSync different from NVIDIA G-Sync?

OMG< OMG the last benefit is talking about 3 not adding in 4..

Simply Stunning :cool:

And why I said we will after wait and see.. But given how poor Gsync is with CSGO I would like to see that as one of the games benched...

Very interesting..

What is "after wait and see"?

I see you play CS:GO a fair chunk, so you will have to give us your feedback on it when you get a Free-Sync monitor. Gladly, I am not a CS:GO player and don't have to put up with how poor it is on nVidia or do the fix that sorts it out that you have been told about numerous times.

I will say again though, if Free-Sync is as good as G-Sync (that I have been using for months and thoroughly tested), you guys are in for a real treat :)

And the fix, you wound't know puts you at a disadvantage.
I can give you feedback sure what I cant give you is how well input lag is vs Gsync or vs vsync off I can only go by feel and not numbers.

I dont have the stuff you need to measure input lag.
 
Once again, the fact remains that Adaptive-Sync capable monitors will be developed by third parties and the learning curve will be high the first time around. While I am certain they will be significantly cheaper than any G-Sync powered counterparts, I am also pretty sure these FreeSync capable UHD monitors will have a premium over Non-FreeSync capable units. The pricing on the UD590 (Non-FreeSync) is around $600, so you are looking at a price range upwards of $600 for a FreeSync capable 4K display.

I thought you had no interest in this technology shanks?

Or has this view changed now AMD are close to having a offering.

I don't tbh But I in need of a new monitor want higher res so why not give this a try.. I can't dis something down without first trying it.

If it dont work as I would like nothing lost from me I can happily carry on.
