G-SYNC Vs FREESYNC VS Adaptive-Sync

[shankly1985]

Yes? And that's not what I said.
I'm well aware Adaptive Sync isn't.
I use my words carefully and explicitly.

Although I wish people would stop saying "Write a driver". They can't just "Write a driver" there needs to be hardware support there first lol.

You wish for a lot lately.. I hope all your wishes come true today

I wish you'd all close your **** holsters and get on enjoying Xmas.

Put your phone/tablet/pc down and enjoy it.

And do what ? As everywhere over here closed

And all my friends are going be spending there time with there wife & Kids on Christmas day..

Is there any known reason why Adaptive-sync did not get added to the HDMI version 2.0 specification ?

Why DP only

Presumably because it requires the data packet transfer capabilities of DP, which are absent from HDMI.

Gsync and Freesync = Pointless to me until someone does it on an IPS or VA display.

Adaptive is quite nice though.

Drink beer and find a hooker for company. Simples.

Boxing night and new year is drink time for me. Xmas day is for the kids.

Maybe nexy year once AU (Benq) sells its 144hz ips panel technology we will see adaptive sync screens hit the market. As all this technology is aimed at gamers there's no need or no th demand for it in IPS screens hence why all the gsync screens are 120hz+ as there the gamers monitors.

However if Asus can sell a cappy Tn panel for 700 I dread to think what an IPS 144hz would retail for.

I'm sure you are all aware that nvidia g-sync is a hardware module fixed inside the monitor and according to the nvidia control panel it is an advanced version of adaptive vertical sync with low latency and no tearing.

 

[David Bisset]

kedge: g-sync is not really related to adaptive vertical sync (which caps the GPU framerate if over the monitors refresh rate) - adaptive sync (note the lack of vertical, the similar names make this easy to mix up!) is about matching the monitor's refresh interval to the frame rate the GPU is outputting.

It will avoid tearing but does add measurable, but low, lag.

g-sync uses the same panel mechanism to achieve this, though in between uses some slight differences. The tech has been around in laptops for a while, it's just new to desktop monitors. The VESA standard was agreed on by a group that includes nVidia.

Well in theory, the Eizo 120Hz VA plus a GSync/Freesync module would be absolutely fine. Can't believe nobody's gone for it yet.
