AMD FreeSync vs Nvidia G-Sync - the adaptive sync battle

Kaveri would be capable if bandwidth wasn't an issue, but it is, and unless something's drastically changed, it'll affect Carrizzo too.

Same hype, different product.

And are we sure it *just* needs to be DP output? Sounds like guessing to me.

Of course, hence the cautious and *disclamered* if. Kaveri was unfounded and everyone was speculating how they would overcome bandwidth limitiation but hopes are high with HBM imminent in some form. Who knows what AMD will do.

Regarding the board, I think it can be confidently said. Breaking electrical compatibility, even for a small use case would be more than a little silly. I have not heard/read any suggestion of it requiring an updated/altered DP on the motherboard itself (ie between APU pin out and DP jack). But I guess if one wished to get technical I don't think anyone has categorically stated that it doesn't.

Where does a 265 sit in the spectrum of cards from years gone by? As I'm none too clued up on the lower end of the scale, be roughly 6950 levels of performance?

Edit: wrong quote.
 
Freesycn/Gsycn have no effect on game developers that have to do next to nothing.

Where something like mantel will split developer resourse as they have two sets of API's to support.
If your point was valid, then the same thing can be said about developers splitting resources to support GameWorks, with features that would only benefit Nvidia users, rather than putting in more effort making the most of the dx features that would benefit both AMD or Nvidia user.
 
It's a rebranded HD7850, so if they can feed it and achieve close to that in an APU, it would be pretty good going.

Looks to be around 6970 level.

If it turns out that fast it should be a decent little performer, absolutely ideal for some sofa gaming anyhow, don't go mental with aa (not that you'd need much at sofa gaming distance) and 60fps looks realistic in the majority of titles at 1080 :)
 
Lots of people seem to want Adapative Sync to fail. Their posts have zero logic, just "opinion" why it will, or has already failed.

Where have people said that they want Adaptive Sync to fail? I haven't seen this myself but I don't check as regularly as I used to.

Where is this been said, the posts I have seen are saying the opposite.

People with Gsync saying they hope that people get a similar experience to what they get etc.

To be honest all your posts seem intent on causing trouble.

Personally I don't want adaptive sync to fail, I want freesync to fail. Infact, I'd like that company to burn to the ground.

Can you show me these "lots of people". I have only seen people want it to do well. I am a G-Sync user and can't wait for the AMD users to experience what I personally enjoy.

Anyone who asks questions on the basis of the hyperbole gets written off as some kind of anti-AMD fruit cake, where as anyone singing the praise of something they have no real knowledge or direct experience of is right thinking and logical :D
 
One of the reasons is they ruined a perfectly good company which I liked in ATI and put their own cringeworthy AMD stamp on things. That's one of a long list.
As an NVIDIA user, I'm more focused on gsync as that's what ill need. Freesync, I have little knowledge of tbh. But id never want to see the company fail, at the end of the day theres peoples livelihoods at stake. And the ordinary Joe working on the factory floor in the countries were the components are made, probably isn't on that great a wage to start with.
