Blythe said that the company was positive about VESA's adaptive sync standard and said that Intel does indeed plan on supporting it in the future. Sadly Blythe did not comment any further on how or when Intel planned on adding support for Adaptive Sync (FreeSync) or if it will happen on current generation products.

Will be a good thing, now we need screen tech to catch up. Saw one of LG's 4k OLED tv's in Taunton's currys the other day. It was gorgeous. would love an OLED scree in a monitor.

but first affordable computer screens with OLED in them will be in VR headsets, sadly.
 
This was obviously going to happen though a bit inaccurate, freesync is the AMD software side. Intel won't support it but they will support adaptive sync and yes, open standards for the win.

Will Intel come up with their own name and have screens branded with it is the question, will they charge to certify the screens as Nvidia do with sli/gsync/3dvision, as that is pretty much the biggest cost.

Hopefully we will be in a situation where any adaptive sync screen will free of charge get certified with AMD and Intel with no additional costs. At some point in the future Nvidia will cave when you have two basically identical screens, one supports all Intel and AMD apu/gpus and costs £100+ less than the other screen that likely only supports Nvidia gsync.

This is the thing about open standards, Intel is adopting adaptive sync which isn't owned by AMD, this both looks better for Intel and they can have more faith in something AMD doesn't control. Lets say Intel licenced Gsync from Nvidia in some fashion and incorporated hardware/software to allow them to use the screens. One Intel would be seen as only providing it thanks to Nvidia and they are subject to any changes Nvidia make in the future.

Why is 3d dead? Because you have two GPU makers and one kept trying to force the industry to go with a closed standard, beyond a few titles people just weren't interested in working towards a closed standard.

Adaptive Vsync and Freesync is one and the same. Any Freesync monitor will work with Intel's Adaptive Vsync software/hardware without licensing.
Anyone who adheres to the VESA Adaptive Vsync standard will not need to get monitor manufacturers to make some new monitor versions.

Intel won't be able to lock out rival gpu companies unless they go the Nvidia Gsync method of implementation which is unlikely since the people using Intel's iGPU's are not going to go and pay a premium for a new proprietary tech monitor.

Now we just need Nvidia to stop with this childish towards Open-Standards..

Who wins? Us all... We should never "Never" be locked to a GPU based on what Monitor type we have.

Only the Gsync monitors won't work to the VESA standard since Nvidia requires some of their own proprietary dongle in there.

Adaptive Vsync is Nvidia. Intel will be using Adaptive Sync from VESA.

I'm actually surprised this tech is being adpoted, 18% of market share is hardly from AMD side of things a lot of sold monitors.

I'm pretty sure the 82% of Nvidia owners will ensure that Nvidia Gsync monitors will stay around for a long time.
 
Childish lol. If being childish means having business sense then sure.

Besides the majority of us here buying their products are still childish, we sit on a forum arguing about electronics and playing video games.

Does it benefit us as the consumer? No. But at least use your brain a little to see why they do it and how it's benefiting nVidia. If people really didn't like it they wouldn't buy their products.
 
The trouble is though NVidia take a lot of care in ensuring that their products such as G-Sync are of a high quality, with open standards it's very difficult to do that as we have already seen with Freesync monitors.

I would expect NVidia to support VESA adaptive sync eventually but it doesn't necessarily mean there is no place for G-Sync, some people will be happy to pay that bit extra for the assurances that the G-Sync name brings.

Can I use Freesync with my Titan X?

Did I say you could? Your Trolling is failing!
Could you use Adaptive-Sync? Yes if Nvidia would support it.

Wouldn't it be great knowing you could use this great tech while owning AMD or Nvidia or even Intel.
The selection of Freesync Monitors is miles ahead of what Gsync monitors is available.

What a revisionist load of old tosh. :rolleyes:

  • Every single desktop GPU requires a monitor.
  • Not every single desktop GPU has an Nvidia GPU.
  • By far the majority of desktops use built in VGA or APUs. All of which will be Intel or AMD based.
  • Adaptive Sync will work with the majority, not the minority as you imply.
  • 85% of all GPU shipments were from Intel (72%) or AMD (13%), Nvidia had 15% market share.

So when Intel adopt Adaptive Sync, monitor manufacturers will have an ~85% target audience who would benefit from Adaptive Sync. OP should change the thread title to say Adaptive Sync rather than Freesync IMHO. The implication of anything AMD brings out the trolls.

You missed my point. And quit with the insults please. I was pointing out that if you own Nvidia, you can't use Freesync and if you use AMD you can't use G-Sync. Whatever way you look at it, if you want to use adaptive sync type techs you should base your decision on what GPU you have as even though Freesync is "open", it still only benefits AMD users.

You called Nvidia childish but to me, if we went the way AMD did, I would have been waiting a whole year to use Adaptive Sync and that is a long long time in tech terms. Whilst you are welcome to say what you like about Nvidia, it doesn't detract from the fact that they didn't sit on the fence and instead made a good business plan to get G-Sync out for their customers instead of sitting on the fence like the competition.

Does Freesync work with your Crossfire 290s yet? Genuine question btw.
 
I don't think tv's need freesync or an equivalent for broadcast material. it is more for gaming consoles than anything. The majority of decent TV's have refresh rates that are a multiple of 25 and/or 30 fps depending on the country and will double or triple up frames up to the panels refresh rate for 1:1 playback. instead of needing to rely on different frame interpolation methods. (5:2 pull down etc)

at least my LG TV does, it has a refresh rate of 60 - 75hz
