Nvidia to support Freesync?

[TNA]

He was right. Not going through that video but I bet some of the monitors don;t have the required frequency range, LFC or enable adaptive sync automatically, thus failing Nvidia's criteria

Sorry man but he was wrong. As long as you stay in the range the monitor you are buying/have, in majority of cases “it just works”. He is just trying to be clever and change goal posts.

Let’s get real, if it only worked on a dozen or so monitors like he would have us believe, Freesync would not be so popular and he would not have enabled it on Nvidia cards and he would be busy telling us how superior G-Sync is. He may have even waved his hand Jedi style and tell us the more buy the more you save

I have a G-Sync monitor myself. The only difference from my 4K Freesync monitor I had before in regards to VRR is this one has a much bigger range, where as the Freesync one only did 40-60. Now for me that range was not good enough due to 4K being hard to power and I don’t play twitch games and am happy for games to dip under 40fps so this monitor is great for that.

My conclusion is Nvidia now support Freesync. It is not a G-Sync monitor unless it has a module in it

that is your definition of working though, but Nvidia as gsync certification has certain hard requirements just like Freeesync 2 does. FreeSync 2 and Nvidia's certification of Freesync 1 monitors are extremely similar, namely sufficient operating range and LFC.

Out of the 400 monitors tested, how many have LFC?

Why do we have to use his definition of working? In that case unless it also supports HDR, then it does not work. Damn, hardly any work then. Lol

Just because it does not fit their certification does not mean it does not work. Stay in the range and works. Simples.

Oh and if it did not work on anything other than g-sync certified monitors then why would he give us a button to manually enable it? That button is there for a reason. It will work on those monitors too. Just not to a certain standard, sure, but that does not mean it does not work.

It’s like saying just because my car does not go 0-60 in 5 seconds it does not work. Nope, it works if I use it in the way it was advertised before I bought it. If Elon Musk then came along and said oh those cars don’t even work properly, all our vehicles do 0-60 in under 5 seconds by standard, people would laugh.

So happy with this, as I recently bought a nice big, 32" HDR Freesync monitor, but have NV cards. After a bunch of messing around with settings (and one monitor exchange because my BenQ EW3270U shipped with bad HDR firmware, apparently), I have everything ticking along nicely.

Best of both worlds IMHO, as AMD cards are not my bag right now, and there's no such thing as a 32", 4K G-sync HDR monitor. If there was it would probably cost about £10k!

??
Freesync 2 is no different to Freesync 1

All Freesync 2 is a label on the side of monitors that states the following
This monitor must support LFC
This monitor must support HDR

Check ! You are Freesync 2 ready

The actual Freesync remains the same.

No idea personally but Tech of tomorrow said it, so no idea.

freesync 2 monitors are really gsync monitors whats this bloke smoking https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=126&v=3cgkdIIa0OA

Wut?

Wut?

comment on video at 147 freesync 2 monitors are like gsync monitors

What D.P stated is true bud. Obviously marketing salesmen tactics but D.P isn't wrong.

Yes he is wrong. Lets go through Jensen's statement.

(FreeSync) was never proven to work

Wrong, Freesync works fine.

As you know, we invented the area of adaptive sync.

Wrong. They were first to market with a product, but they didn't invent adaptive sync. If want to be totally pedantic about it, AMD named it when they applied to VESA to make changes to the Display port spec, but neither AMD nor Nvidia invented VRR, it existed in laptops long before now.

The truth is most of the FreeSync monitors do not work. They do not even work with AMD’s graphics cards.

Again, wrong. Most Freesync monitors work fine. The fact that the Nvidia driver update works with Freesync monitors that aren't on the approved list shows just how wrong this statement is. And the last of part of the statement is a blatant lie as well, AMD cards work fine with Freesync monitors.

If he had said some monitors don't work, that would have been fine, because there are some monitors that aren't great with Freesync. Or if said, most monitors don't pass Nvidia's certification process, then that would have been fine too. But he didn't, He flat out lied instead. And about that certification process, monitors that don't have freesync enabled by default fail the test. LOL what kind of stupid reason is that? Are Nvidia's engineers too lazy to turn it on in the monitor settings?

Regarding Freesync 2. Freesync 2 isn't any different than Freesync. The main reason for it's introduction was for HDR monitors. When you buy a Freesync 2 monitor it guarantees 3 things

1. Low input lag,
2. A monitor that works with LFC
3. A monitor that meets a certain standard for HDR.

That's it. There are no changes to how it works with adaptive sync monitors.

Well played TNA!! Car analogies usually suck, but, this one actually works!!

Agree with your post BTW.

Yes he is wrong. Lets go through Jensen's statement.

You do realise that Jen Huang isn't D.P (as far as I know) and is just stating what Jen said? I don't think Jen is correct either but at the same time, he is CEO of a big corporation and good at marketing. If people can't see this, maybe they should wise up a bit?

The EW3270U looks very interesting just wish I had the space. I remember doing a benq firmware update myself using a linux boot disk and vga cable. It was very scary but it worked.

Tech of Tomorrow is a one of my favourite channels but he has this wrong in regards to Freesync 2.

There is no hardware involved like G-sync at all and does work correctly.

I should know as I use a Samsung 27CHG70 which is a Freesync 2 monitor with an EVGA 2070 Ultra which happens to work a touch better than it with an AMD card.

Nvidia buyers don't seem very clued up on Freesync which is understandable but they should stop posting guesses which become complete nonsense in this thread.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea personally and not looked into Freesync 2.

Indeed. I always take what businesses, CEO's or whatever say with a grain of salt. They will say whatever they can get away with which will help their bottom line without doing too much damage. It just works

Oh and you never know man, D.P may end up being Jensen, if not then very well could be his left hand man, the right hand man position was taken by Tom Petersen before D.P arrived

You're welcome. What's great about this is that it's the first driver from Nvidia which has been amazing to most and if they really care about this, then they may do even better with the drivers as time goes by.

Even HDR works perfectly with Freesync and on my monitor the Freesync 2 logo is on when G-sync is applied.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

i have the dell gsync 27" 144hz 1440p monitor it cost me a fortune.

could i now get a 240hz freesync monitor for the same price likely or cheaper and use that with my GTX 1080?

D.P said Jensen was right in what he said, and you agreed with D.P.

Tell me please, how, if Jensen's statement is wrong in every way, that D.P. can be right?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Got to laugh sometimes, to some AMD users Haung's the devil incarnate, most NV users at least in this instance probably realise he's trying to rip the pee out his competitor in a final blow of defiance because Nv's techs just taken a hit having to support FreeSync.

Good job they don't support FreeSync then, aint it

you need to put that big green spoon away
