3440X1440, I'm 21:9. 4k at 16:9 doesn't interest me.

4K ^^^^ ?

If they want to game on PC's, perhaps as to avoid being locked into XBox live repeat subscription fees, then they are going to have to get a monitor anyway.

Why wouldn't they get a ps4?
Why wouldn't they use their hdtv?

What happens if they already have a monitor? This is just getting into strawmen arguments now.

The fact is some people find sub 30fps awful no matter what, the others find it perfectly playable and if they wanted to do anything about it they already could have by buying even a £100 GPU. Could freesync make sub 30fps a little better? Maybe

Does any current fm2+ motherboard even have display port for freesync?

If your going to use one brush to paint one universal truth for all, then yes, its just getting into strawmen argument.

Ayahuasca · 17 Oct 2014 at 17:33

I haven't used one brush, in the very post you've quoted me in I've used two.

Martini1991 · 17 Oct 2014 at 17:35

I don't have any brushes.

So you tell me, will there be people buying monitors?

Some will have to, some won't.

This is getting silly now.

I think Free-Sync working at below 30 FPS is quite important, i very much doubt 9 FPS is anything like smooth even with Free-Sync, but 24< FPS is, i think its important to make it available across the full spectrum so those with entry level GPU's or APU's 'that can't always maintain 30+ FPS' still get the benefit of Free-Sync Smoothieness...

Lads...really? :confused:

Martini1991 · 17 Oct 2014 at 17:42

Yeah, and that's not the same.
Ignoring the other part where you basically said everyone will benefit the same as anyone else.

It's a 30 minute bus ride.

Ayahuasca · 17 Oct 2014 at 17:43

You forgot to include the potential cost for people in that post though, which is the biggest point especially for those on low budget hardware.

Ahh well that explains it. Please continue

As you agreed some people choosing to go PC on a low budget will have to get screens anyway, not all will, not all wont. for those that do its in their budget and the option is there.

This is getting silly now and not making much sense.

If Freesync can make 30 fps or less feel and look smooth, I will eat my hat.
