FreeSync coming next month! (?)

You didn't look hard enough then to be honest. It was just the one monitor, but it was readily available.

The AOC 34" 3440x1440 will be out in the next 30 days, and I really can't see anyone launching a freesync 3440x1440 monitor anytime soon. Do I wait or not?

So it's possibly only a few months after Gsync availability if it transpires.

Cue the endless 'Gsync module has been available to fit since...'-yeah, and I really wanted to void my expensive monitor warranty!:rolleyes::o

I responded to a baiting post and the AMD user gets told off for baiting???



Whyy would I want to look hard for it, my gaming rig can't use it.

2nd post in the thread was baiting and you seem to have been doing that a lot lately. It isn't needed here thanks.

Considering the first monitor landed very late in July in the UK, my interpretation is a few months-again if it transpires.

Voiding warranty doesn't cut it on a personal level for most-the lack of users adding the module and voiding warranty themselves was evident enough.

You could buy them in January, that's all you need to worry yourself about. I'm dealing in facts you're instigating regarding a product that's yet to even hit market yet. Who's at fault here...!
 
Those modules were way overpriced and when pre-installed it doubled the cost of the monitor near enough. Only 1 person I know of jumped back then. If FreeSync shows up next month I'd say it's a wash.
 
Got an answer for everything don't you.

The price is irrelevant, as is the take up.
 
I'm exciting for FreeSync no matter what res or refresh rate.

To me it should be an extra feature on a lot of monitors just to smooth out minimum fps dips

Comparing to G-Sync (what I use and Freesync should be the same), You no longer notice the frame drops and even if a game runs at averages of 45 fps, it makes it feel like more. I say that because there is no stutters or judders, so when something is ultra smooth, it just feels like a different experience. I am a massive proponent of this type of tech and something I could not be without. When Freesync arrives, be prepared to be blown away :)
 
Because having a market segment all to yourself for an entire year is a wash? You've used that phrase a lot recently Orangey. I'm assuming you're just throwing it around at the moment because you're not making much sense :D.

Brilliant stuff!
 
I think NEC is supporting freesync! look at the specs below.

NEC MultiSync PA322UHD 32-inch Ultra HD Monitor


Among the other benefits of the PA322UHD display are:

• Native resolution of 3840 x 2160 with 10-bit color support
• 350 cd/m2 brightness and 1000:1 contrast ratio
• Support for a multitude of refresh rates, including 24, 30, 50, 60, 85, 100, and 120 Hz modes
• The USB 3.0 hub (two up, three down) with DisplaySync Pro, which is a high resolution keyboard / video / mouse (KVM) switch that can control two computers with only one keyboard and mouse
• Two DisplayPort inputs, and the options of two DVI-D and two HDMI, or four HDMI inputs as well as an OPS compliant option slot for additional input flexibility
• The stand supports both landscape and portrait modes, and the display will automatically rotate the image when the display is rotated
• Color and white Digital Uniformity Correction with 93 percent more correction points than previous MultiSync PA Series displays
• Picture in Picture and Picture by Picture mode, which splits the screen in half or in quarters to up to 4 full HD images in one more multiple color spaces in real time
• Two internal 2W speakers for business-class multimedia sound
• Free MultiProfiler software for complete control of picture modes, enabling additional presets like REC 709 and simple ICC profile emulation


The MultiSync PA322UHD-BK ships with a four-year limited 48-hour advanced exchange parts and labor warranty, and will be available at an estimated street price of $2,299 with first shipments in December 2014. The PA322UHD display with SpectraViewIItm calibration software and sensor also will be available at an estimated street price of $3,249. The units will be demonstrated on October 22, 2014, at the NEC Display Showcase in New York City.
 
Where in that description does it say anything about adaptive and/or freesync:confused:

The multisync part (as in the description) is a kvm switch for moving between devices from a single input as that monitor can do picture by picture x4 so 4 devices, 4 simultaneous 1080p displays from 4 devices at the same time and you can switch between them with a single kbm.

This section sounds like it might have something to do with freesync?

• Support for a multitude of refresh rates, including 24, 30, 50, 60, 85, 100, and 120 Hz modes

I do hope I'm wrong, the competition will be good for prices for both technologies.

One thing I must say about that article and I'm not sure if it is AMD saying it or just the articles author. Free Sync Does require a proprietary, expensive hardware module, it called a graphics card. Adaptive-Sync, you know the part that is the industry standard, doesn't require anything, but AMD use of that standard uses their proprietary hardware and software.
I've yet to see an article on this subject that has actually got this part right yet And to be honest I'm a bit surprised that AMD haven't made this clear right from the outset. but then again it fit with their whole It's free agenda.:)

That did make me chuckle.

But in all seriousness, I hope it works well, it really enchances the gaming experience.

But let's face it, we won't see it this year, will take another year after that for AMD to make it work properly. Won't be free either
