Along with some pretty fabulous Ryzen 3000 rumours that should have Intel sweating buckets there is also a 7nm Navi rumour, apparently RTX 2070 levels of performance for around $250 to $300.

Nvidia to support Freesync?

**** AMD & NV and anyone salty over access, consumers are the winners, GPU vendors shouldn't ever had any control of monitor tec in the first place!
Do love my VRR though thanks NV+AMD.
Where are the people that said this would never happen.....
It's bad news
Yep. Open standards ftw!
Fair enough, can't disagree with that
I feel ready already with my Titan XP (for my needs) and by the time I get one of those TVs in about a year, 7nm will be here.

I think Navi is gonna kick all kinds of ass in the mid-range soon
15th for drivers.
With Ryzen 2000 2018 has been AMD's year in CPU's, Ryzen 3000 looks like it will kick Intel hard while they are down, very hard.
Let us hope AMD can do to nVidia this year what they did to Intel last year.
thx for the drivers info.

I'm hoping gaming performance gets a really good kick, because switching to a 8600k@5Ghz from a 2600x system gave me a BIG boost.
Yeah, look at this, from a 4.6Ghz 4690K to a 3.85Ghz first gen 6 core Ryzen, 2.5x the performance, unbelievable....
33 FPS
85 FPS...

Agreed, and hopefully the new chips will kick as much ass as that! We await the benchies
This is amazing news, I can't believe it and hopefully it will lead to better high end Freesync monitors now Nvidia are supporting it. I still want to switch to an AMD GPU though due to Nvidia's price gouging, GPP etc. actions over the last few years. I hope AMD will have a truly great high end GPU for me to buy this year.

Hmm...
How are Nvidia going to differentiate FreeSync from Gsync now?
How are Nvidia going to differentiate FreeSync from Gsync now?
With the price
.
G-Sync still (when MS aren't screwing up WDDM, etc.) has better support/features for Windowed/Borderless mode games and better low framerate handling and always will unless extra hardware is added to Adaptive Sync monitors.
EDIT: On another note though something I need to test - I'm wondering if G-Sync has problems with colour values outside of limited range (16-235) maybe an oversight but I've noticed some problems with transitions/shimmering at the extremes of the colour range that don't seem to be there on FS.
I don't think AMD really has much high ground on this one really - no one was interested in pushing adaptive sync tech until nVidia released G-Sync - then suddenly everyone wants on the bandwagon.
No, but they did take nVidia's idea whose implementation was over-complex, expensive and as it turned out unsustainable AMD made it so that "It Just Works" and for every price point.

Yeah, if you're being discerning it was NVIDIA that endorsed the technology first. Heck, I've had my Swift for what seems like forever.

To be fair from what I understand (though it is from piecing together 3rd hand information from conference and emails) the resistance with VESA was from industries that use the tech professionally i.e. air traffic control displays which used a form of it (as in eDP) years before G-Sync came out and probably were looking to protect their market and a good bit of why nVidia went away and made G-Sync. But still.
