Nvidia to support Freesync?

Funky-Melon said:
Damn, was really looking forward to this but despite having freesync on my monitor is only has HDMI ports :mad:

It's connected to my GTX 1070 FTW via a displayport to HDMI cable though - I guess that still doesn't count?

Tried it, it doesn't work.

Must admit, I'm one of those people who never see's/notices tearing and thinks the whole freesync/g-sync thing is bit of a weird one but still pretty **** that it doesn't work over HDMI, was looking forward to seeing what the big whoop was about lol.
 
  1. If you are in the 12 monitor list, Adaptive Sync should be automatically enabled

  2. If you monitor supports Adaptive Sync but not in the list, remember to manually enable it in NVCP

  3. HDMI is not supported! Only Display Port will work at this time.

  4. 10 series and Turing GPU are the only GPU that is supported for now.

  5. It might work, it might work a little, it might have bugs or straight up not work at all - This is only the beginning after all. Remember to leave your feedback to Nvidia through various channels, whether it is on Geforce forums or Support.
 
Im sure its not working for me :( defo seem to get more tears with it on than off, shame but oh well
 
Working really well with my Acer XF270HUA right from the start, upon entering the GeForce Control Panel after updating the driver it looks like it was automatically enabled as well.

Liam.
 
Installed the driver and fired up the Control Panel and was greeted with this.....

It was already enabled...

I ran the nVidia pendulum demo and sure enough it works.....

Will test games in more depth later, but so far so good....

Right, that make sense. I think they meant to say 'below' not 'above'.

Just played Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Forza Horizon 4 in HDR. The ghosting is more pronounced in HDR with G-sync enabled. Without G-sync it's not so bad. And playing with the black equalizer on the monitor can help if you lower it at the cost of contrast.

It doesn't have more ghosting in HDR, it's just easier to see it when looking at darker shades. During daylight in games the ghosting is much better hence why some people are not really bothered by it.

So the behaviour of G-sync is the same. Nothing gets broken in HDR mode.

The monitor is okay for HDR. It's not poor but it ain't great. It doesn't have effective full array local dimming like my Sony XF90 TV. You won't get the true HDR experience with this monitor to be honest but it can hit approx 600 nits in a small window apparently.

But for SDR, it's beautiful. Really strong colours due to Quantum Dot tech. Deep black and great contrast.

If I was looking now for a Freesync monitor I would see which ones on the certified list has a VA panel, a large Freesync range and better overdrive than the Samsung.

You never know though as Samsung may get wind of this and send out an update soon. I hope so.

That's weird. NVIDIA said G-Sync compatible means the monitor refresh rate range should be at least 2.4:1. But this monitor has a range of 48-75. How is it "G-Sync Compatible"?
 
I have an msi mpg27cq and a 1070 and it seems to work fine. Tried the pendulum demo, quake champions and Destiny 2. Refresh rate varied and didn't notice any strange behaviour or visual anomalies :) though it stayed within the 48 - 144 range. And I suspect a lot of the weirdness comes if you go outside the range

By the looks of it @humbug hasn't linked his monitor.


He linked Q3279VWFD8 32", His control panel says its a Q3279WG5B

???

However i will assume its the correct one thats been linked and what the difference is possibly a region specific product code as we have seen in the past several times.

I think i recall NV saying that they would open the driver up to all freesync monitors, but that they will officially certify X small number of them as Gsync as only they pass their standard. This does mean that all freesync screens should be able to turn on gsync, however they won't all respond well to it... That is my understanding of it however and i could be mistaken.

I would love to see one of these more low/mid budget oriented gaming freesync screens running gsync in person ( @humbug i do have you address after all.... he he ) to see/compare it personally to a gsync screen such as mine that has nvidias physical gsync module in it.
