RDNA 3 rumours Q3/4 2022

You mean when Intel goes open source and only nvidia have the api.... which is exactly what happened to physx and is happening to gsync.
Edit - adaptive sync is NOT and `AMD` thing, its the industry standard
Its the other way round, Nvidia has "re branded" as "gsync compatible", they enabled the use of VESA adaptive sync enabled monitors (freesync monitors) and just called it gsync.
What are Intel going open source with?
Adaptive Sync, Freesync, Freesync Ultimate etc. Does it matter if it's the industry standard when Gsync is offering a better experience and allows the industry to utilise that lower standard on Gsync panels?
We dont even know if RDNA3 is MCM, the next CDNA GPU seems to be MCM (due to Linux kernel) but only for compute workloads.
From what I've read Gsync still offers flicker free low frame rates, while Freesync does not. Do these Gsync monitors still allow Freesync to operate?
It was yourself that took the thread off topic by claiming AMD had already beaten both Intel and Nvidia.
It matters when consumer tech makes use of the standard (read Xbox / PlayStation) monitor / TV manufacturers will implement adaptive sync (as its free to them) but will probably not pay Nvidia to support GSync. Its all about compatibility
Monitors with the extra Gsync module do not support adaptive sync (freesync), they also tend to cost more.
That's annoying. From what I read recently I thought the Gsync panels were allowing Freesync. So I'm back to paying the scam price or putting up with the odd bit of flicker.
Have you tried using DLSS to increase your framerate so you don't need to worry about flickering at low frame rate?

Nvidia rebranded Gsync as Gsync Pro - with the extra on monitor module, and the regular industry standard (VESA spec) as Gsync compatible (as said above). Intel (Kadori quote) are wanting to following open source standards not closed source - to will look at AMD`s FSR along with ML rather than Nvidia closed source DLSS methods.
To be totally fair I have used freesync from very early on in its adoption (got the 1st series of 144hz ips monitors with it enabled) and never seen any flicker issues (outside of really odd game compatibility ..... Fallout 4). But then again thats always been on AMD cards.

I'm looking at a 5950x so I can play while I work. I'd like to have the odd VM or 2 open, couple of 300+ tab Firefox sessions, VS2019/Android Studio all open at the same time. I know I will hit drops in frame rate swapping around. I just don't want that horrible flicker.

Then lower dlss to performance mode lol

Where did you read that? not saying its wrong, it be right but the thing is a lot of G-Sync Branded Screens now are actually Free-Sync, its kinda the other way round, Free Sync, IE those without the G-Sync module have become the standard and Nvidia have slapped their logo on them.
If AMD can use the G-Sync Module then "AMD can run their adaptive sync on Gsync monitors"

Mostly through reddit. I'd pick a monitor that I liked the look of before searching for reviews/issues. The last time I looked at monitors was during the HDR launch, if there ever was such a thing, so I've no clue what supports what now.

I think maybe people are getting confused by the G-Sync Logo's and lack of Free Sync logo's on just about every Adaptive Sync screen, there are about 200 Adaptive Sync screens on OCUK, only about 6 of them actually have a G-Sync Module, about 50 or 60 of them are branded G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible that is, i can't seem to find any Free Sync branded screens even in the Free Sync section while even some of those are branded G-Sync.
And this is how it works, its like the "Intel Inside" logo, OEM's are paid to put those stickers on there, Nvidia are using AMD's Adaptive Sync, Free Sync and then paying quite a lot of them to put the G-Sync logo on them, it makes it look like "G-Sync Everywhere" and Free Sync no where because AMD are not going to pay, and its you who are actually paying for it in the price of your GPU's.
A mate recently bought an OLED TV, G-Sync plastered all over the box, in the actual settings menu it says Free Sync 2. that's not on the box.

BTW, do you know how many G-Sync Module HDR screens there are on OCUK? One. and its £2,200. everyother G-Sync Branded HDR screen is a Free Sync 2 screen.
