Intel plans to support FreeSync.

I remember you complained a lot about issues with your Asus screen on AMD and if I remember correctly you were advised numerous times that your Asus screen had problems with its scaler. Its a known issue with that screen
After trying several leads (that all worked with Nvidia), I finally got a lead that worked with AMD. How is that the scaler?
Er I think you may have the wrong way round, EDP has been around for a long time and it is the golden nugget that allowed Adaptive-Sync to come into being.
You said it was an issue with AMD having weak DP. sounds like you had a dodgy lead.
None the less that screen has a none standard scaler due probably to it being a G-Sync screen

All my previous 3 leads work with all of my previous/current Nvidia cards but none of those worked with any of the 4 AMD cards I had/have and the final lead I bought from Ugreen sorted it, so again, it must be the weak DP port, as I wasn't alone in this and a quick google shows many people with the same problems.
1 out of 4 works with AMD
4 out of 4 works with Nvidia
If it was a problem with the screen/scaler, none would work with AMD surely?
The leads are all the same. The only difference is in the way nvidia or AMD use them which could result in one GPU finding fault where the other cant.
Given all DP leads are the same there is no reason as to why you would need (one of the same) to make it work where the same dont because it the GPU. If the lead is right and good it will work just as the next right and good lead.
If as you say you had 3 out of 4 not work then bad luck was with you in that. Its a digital signal. Either its there or its not

No Freesync screen actually has anyway close to that range.
The 9HZ stuff will likely never be utilised, as it'll be horrid anyway.
no I cant see any screen vendor using 9hz. But I think 20 would be useful

A freighting thing, is that by the time Intel have a product that supports Adaptive-sync, one maybe two generations, Freesync might not be around at all, if AMD keep going the way they have been lately.
Adaptive sync is here forever as it's part of a VESA standard, FreeSync is just AMDs buzz name for it, sort of how SEGA called the Megadrive's DMA "Blast Processing".
I'd have to say Gregs not the only one i remember having issues with leads, if they were all infact the same then you wouldnt get a difference changing lead like some have. iirc Matt said to use starcraft? leads at one point

Ahh ok, Are they meant to be really good ?
I bought a Startech cable but no joy with that and it ended up costing over £40 with delivery (robbing so and so's).
Free sync isn't AMDs name for adaptive sync, it is AMD's proprietary software solution that implements adaptive sync on certain AMD hardware.

You'd think wouldn't you? But in my experience of trying to get a DP cable for 4K I had to go through about 4 before I found a good one and a 'possibly ok' one. If they're all the same why do 2 (ish) work and 2 don't?
One of my cables was a Startech cable. It was not one of the ones that worked for me.
In fact I also bought an active DP-to-Dual-Link-DVI converter from them that was a piece of **** too.

I using DP that come with my monitor and has worked perfectly without a single issue.. I very doubt its a high priced one.
Its the same with all the Monster cables they way over priced! Too me a Digital cable is a Digital cable they do the same thing..
Maybe the issue some having here is using wrong spec cable? Like HDMI 1.4 on GPU with HDMI 2.0 and then complain when 60hz 4k dont work?
Same with DP 1.x etc
