Differing opinion.

As long as there is no over use with zero tangible benefits(no 'alleged' dirty tricks), it's up to vendors to compete with comparable performance-nothing wrong with that, bring it on.

How do we know if it's over user? Can the effects be disabled in-game to compare?

Tesselation can, don't know about any of the others.

And yet tessellation was a problem in certain games, but if the effects can't be turned off it's fine and up to Nvidia to support it better?

I mean based on AMDMatt's graphs we can already see the technology is being used to sabotage Nvidia multi-card setups...

It's fine and up to Nvidia/AMD to compete on hardware capabilities when there is no overuse with zero tangible benefits, and with producing in game performance, be it frame times/scaling so on-exactly what I mean.

Whatever AMD do is fine with tommy, it is only if there is any rumour of nvidia doing something that tommy gets his pitchforks out

Yep, the times I have read Tommy berating nVidia in the GameWorks threads and getting very angry at times but when AMD does it, he defends them to the hilt and just brings up nVidia do it in this and that and attempts to justify what he considers right from wrong.

But how do we know there is no overuse?

Starting reading the last page of this thread in an attempt to understand the latest news on freesync. Instead it seems to have developed into AMD vs. Nvidia death match :eek:

Boy... that escalated quickly.

Andrei23 · 7 Dec 2014 at 13:14

So just sync then?

samsung has freesync screens coming out in March 2015.
AMD rules, as Freesync is the better solution, anything else?

There is no news on freesync, hence the pro-AMD camps need to deflect the delays by reminding everyone how "evil" nvidia are for having real products on the shelf instead of empty promises

No news? BenQ, Viewsonic, Samsung all coming soon. Driver support added.

That's the latest news kiwi.

Have actual dates been announced? Serious question, if they have i missed it. The only thing i'd seen was "starting from March" from Samsung.

I assume you have tried Freesync to come to that conclusion?

No rumour on what you can/can't run on Nvidia/Amd when Nvidia put the locks in place.

Only GW's thread I moaned in was BAO-don't know if it was anything to do with GW's, every other one I clearly stated that I never had a problem with GW's outwith non MSAA performance in BAO, your portrayal is yet again complete fabrication gregster.

Greg started the good cop/bad cop scenario a few pages back-he certainly doesn't fall into the pro-AMD camp.

Gregster · 7 Dec 2014 at 14:05

But you also accused me of never having any intention of owning AMD, so I can't really take anything you say seriously.

Back on topic, I can't see any other news regarding Freesync coming this month, so looks like March then. Anyone else found or know any different?

shankly1985 · 7 Dec 2014 at 14:24

Did you not listen to anything huddy said? Between December and January first Freesync displays will land. Just because Samsung said March that doesn't mean others won't come sooner.

We known this for ages now.

Stanners · 7 Dec 2014 at 14:30

Did I read somewhere(might be here) that Samsung have some sort of exclusive with AMD.

(I could have also imagined this

)
