I was referencing Nexus18 referring to the module "which have the gsync hardware "module" (however, very rarely found except for the high end displays), this provides the "ultimate hdr" feature set". The module won't do anything for the HDR as far as I am aware, you just have to have the module + the other panel properties to qualify for GSync Ultimate.

I think so...
Those that don't have the module just use the same system AMD use, its just variable refresh rate, AMD have never needed a module for any of these features and it supports them all.

People also forget about all those AMD GPU's in XBOX/PS5.
Do you think they really care that much about PC GPU's? They are market leaders in CPU's, and have cornered the console CPU and GPU market.
Drop in the ocean to them.
As I have said before why bother spending a fortune in time and effort and resources to gain marke share against a behemoth who products people will just blindly buy anyway?
It makes no sense for them. Concentrate on what you're good at, don't waste time where you're weakest as a business.
They must care at least to some extent, given they keep trying.
Perhaps they shouldn't, perhaps they should pull out of serval years and leave us with just Nvidia, perhaps 4 or 5 years of that there might be more interest in AMD GPU's if they come back.
I think RDNA3 will be the real indicator as what direction they are going in.
Lets see, again, tho i think i already know what the answer will be, no matter what AMD will not regain any market share and people will say "well its because AMD are not cheap enough" not a viable business model. Exit>
Both Ford and Audi make profits, maybe that is the way, target a segment and sell a lot of them. Don't spread yourself too thin.
Ford and Audi are Nvidia in this case, Audi are part of the Volkswagen Group, i think i'm right in saying apart from maybe Toyota the Volkswagen Group are the worlds largest car manufacture and Ford are not too far behind.
AMD are more like SAAB.
Not quite as SAAB as defunct as of 2016
My point was really if AMD targeted mass market with reduced but still profitable margins there is money to be made. I suspect there are more GPU snobs in the high end than the lower end. Make a great affordable eSports card for all the wannabe pros and then market it to death to the target audience. Concentrated effort, not a thin smear across the market. What's the worse that could happen?

It's the same old thing, NV buyers only want AMD to do better so they can buy NV cheaper.
SAAB are dead because they couldn't gain the market share despite the quality of their cars and refused to give up on that quality, they literally would rather die than let the last gen 900 just be a rebadged Vauxhall Cavalier.
I think its brave but foolhardy to gun for the top again when they should know from experience Nvidia grip on that segment is total, AMD sell RX 580 type cards ok, they are not too expensive to develop or make.
Frankly i don't care if Nvidia are free to charge £8,000 for high end GPU's, the market deserves what it gets because the market regulates its self.

Yes I think we agree, forget the halo stuff and make lots of affordable mass market cards, seems to be what all the comments are saying is missing from the market.
Yes the module isn't providing HDR support per se. It used to be a way of badging/certifying monitors with "true" HDR support but that has since changed as obviously there are "gsync" and "gsync compatible" monitors with "true" hdr support.
However, I do recall of the gsync module providing some extra tuning with regards to HDR, will need to have a look though, that and a lot of people report black screen or some form of flickering with high end hdr monitors on the "freesync" and "gsync + compatible displays" which "gsync ultimate" monitors don't suffer from, think this is something more common on the oled displays though. IIRC, vincent might have covered it.

I think it's more of a trickle-down effect too as selling PC gpu hardware at least provides for the R&D of the graphics design and a bit of profit on top. Then they utilise the graphics technology throughout the company to offer a wider range of products
I'm expecting rdna 3 to be far more focused on the pc sector for 2 reasons alone:
- no new consoles that amd need to focus on, they were supplying 80% of their stock to consoles hence why their stock was a hundred times worse than nvidia
- their ces etc. events at the time only spending like 1 minute on the pc gaming space and rest of the time was on their partnership deals across various sectors
Clearly RDNA 2 was far more catered towards the current gen consoles, they don't have that holding them back now.
As if you mean the first monitor from the first link, it is indeed a gsync ultimate monitor:

But either way, you have the official nvidia list there for your question, which I would like to think nvidia have got right......

BTW, which monitor are you referring to humbug?

I thought he was fully integrated into Ray-Tracing?, sort of become one with it, like the Matrix.
