It is possible that any delays might be down to AMD asking the manufacturers to wait until they have the drivers available, seeing as AMD promised the world they would have drivers out as soon as the monitors were available.

AMD will take quite a bit of stick if they mess this up, so I'm sire they want to get it right.

Good news the Driver are Ready :p They been out there for sometime now.. How could AMD showcase Freesync on shop floor without the Drivers.
 
bru said:
So you can download these drivers now can you.......NO....well they haven't been out for anytime at all then have they. :rolleyes:

Any drivers that AMD might have used to showcase Freesync (11 months ago they first demo'd it) most certainly would not have been customer ready and apparently their still not else you would have them by now.




Well hopefully, maybe soon then we can get to see if Freesync is actually a good alternative to G-Sync or not.

11 months ago? Huddy press other week they had them on shop floor for people to play with and use.
The Driver is out there ready, just not ready for us yet. That is what I ment.. Press site have already benched the Driver.

Dont worry its going to be better :p mark my word.
 
And another thing Bru, do you understand why they showed it on a Laptop??

I'll give you a hint, because Laptops have always been able to run this tech.. So in that "ShowCase" they was no FreeSync drivers..

FreeSync is taking the Laptop power saving feature and bringing it to the Desktop Monitors and Graphic cards this needs new Drivers.

actually, the document is dated *MARCH 2014* on the first page, if they can't even get matching dates through the document that I'd doubt the veracity of such a claim
if you download the file and look in the properties within a pdf viewer the created/modified date is 02/07/14 - July 2014

the date on AMD's white paper is March 2014, so it seems pretty clear that VESA took AMD's document and put VESA on it and published it later - in July - they just screwed up changing the date from March 2014 to May 2013 instead of 2014

Might want to look again :p

Very doubt you can miss spell March with May.
 
its not important, but it does show AMD's Freesync has been in the works much longer than we might have thought.

seriously?
Videos - big heading
Presentations - big heading
DisplayPort Taiwan Workshop November 2014 - sub heading
Other Presentations - sub heading
DisplayPort Asia Workshops May 2013 - sub sub heading
White Papers - big heading

white papers is clearly the start of a new section, the DisplayPort Asia Workshops May 2013 sub heading is clearly only relating to presentations from that particular workshop, the white papers section below is clearly clearly a completely unrelated section

Its quite funny how both say May 2013 on the site and also the document. Dont you find that stands out just a little bit?
 
I see May 2013 on the site and I also see May 2013 on the White Paper...

The "Proof" Its in the White Paper "May 2013" You keep believing its a miss type.. Until its Changed to what you "May" think I'll believe what I see.

:D
Stunning :cool:

See above, check the site's html
Also, if the white paper was from the presentations that were SHOWN in May 2013, dont you think that we'd have know about adaptive sync in MAY 2013

Vesa didnt announce adaptive sync until May 2014... Why would they announce something A YEAR after they'd already presented it at a trade show

Adaptive-Sync as been around since 2009, its just never been brought to the lame light till now..
Laptops have used this tech for long time now, what's to say they been working on it since 2013 for external displays? The white paper was written in 2013 before they announced it would be in there DP 1.2 for external displays.

Well this is just as bad as the trolling going on and looking through your posts, you don't seem to have an interest in the topic at hand and seem to be geared at provoking and trolling people instead of discussing Freesync (which I actually want people to have).

To try and steer the thread back on topic. Who is getting a Freesync monitor and if so, what are you hoping for? (1080P/4K/ultra wide/IPS)
Click to expand...

What I would like
24" 1440p 240hz,
what I mostly get
27" 1440p 144hz

I really hoping to see 240hz
