AMD used its Future of Compute event in Singapore as a platform for announcements from its partners and clients in support of its own technology and ecosystem-building efforts. Samsung, which currently holds 60 percent of the global market for 4K UHD monitors, announced broad support of the FreeSync standard in all products starting in 2015. The Korean giant introduced five new UHD monitors: the UE 590 series will come in 23.6-inch and 28-inch models, while the UE 850 series will come in 23.6-inch, 27-inch and 31.5-inch models. AMD also announced that the world's three biggest manufacturers of UHD monitor scalers would be building in support for FreeSync.
The standard brings about smoother gameplay without frame tearing and stuttering by synchronizing a monitor's refresh rate with the stream of frames being fed into it. FreeSync has already been adopted by VESA and will be part of the DisplayPort 1.2a specification. Richard Huddy, Chief Gaming Scientist at AMD referred to Nvidia's competing GSync standard, calling it inferior because of its dependence on proprietary hardware and the fact that Nvidia charges partners a license fee.
