DSR: Fermi / Kepler / Maxwell
VSR: Volcanic / Volcanic 2.0 (Tonga) / Pirate

3 gens of support each. It's just that NV have strung out Kepler so long and Maxwell just launched that it seems they offer more.

I have been doing some searching and seems Samsung wanted exclusivity on the Freesync announcements but quite possible that BenQ and Viewsonic will release this month.

Samsung stole the show last week with its big FreeSync announcement and the company went on record confirming at least five FreeSync capable monitors will roll out by March.

Our sources have informed us that two other monitor manufactures can ship FreeSync monitors even sooner, before Christmas. BenQ and Viewsonic will have monitors ready to ship quite soon, almost hitting the previously reported November timeframe.

Samsung helped AMD change its mind
Our sources indicated that Samsung changed AMD's mind and insisted to be the first one to announce its FreeSync lineup. The other two players, who originally wanted to announce their monitors and even ship them by the end of November, had to slightly delay their rollout plans.

We have few details about the screen size or resolution at this point, but back in September AMD told us that DisplayPort receivers from MStar, Novatek and Realtek enable 144Hz panels with QHD 2560x1440 and UHD 3840x2160 panels up to 60Hz. They will go head to head with G-Sync offerings designed for Nvidia graphics cards.

What comes next?
If you are planning a monitor update soon, the choice of your next gaming monitor will most likely be largely influenced by current generation graphics cards and games.

There is already a number of different approaches - eg you can get a touch panel in case you want to make the most of the new Windows touch-friendly user interface, or you can go for a proper gaming panel in 2560x1440, with a 144Hz refresh rate, FreeSync or G-Sync, or you can trade high performance for high resolution and get a cheap 4K/UHD panel limited to 60Hz, sans syncing technology.

The jury is still out, but AMD and Nvidia have made sub-4K monitors quite a bit more appealing with FreeSync and G-Sync.

Looks like some AMD users will be enjoying some tear free, input lag free gaming in time for the Holidays :cool:

You've said that already... ;). Although I'm fairly sure you called it Maxpleb on the other forum...

Isn't it usually Tuesday for AMD Drivers?

Not holding my hopes up, it would be nice to get a Christmas prezi like that from AMD but it seems to good to be true for it to be released with-in the next couple of weeks.

Yeah Tuesday for drivers but Monday for the announcement. Where sites can release there bench results etc..
It happened like that with 12.11 drivers that time.
 
Could this driver release tie in with a new Radeon Game never settle type thing? Like we saw with the 7XXX series driver boost.. Would be a clever way of generating interest without a new product launch..
 
The article I read made it sound like the drivers were going to be available later in the day, or possibly the following day. They'd had hands-on experience with the drivers and said in some games they offered considerable speed improvements (up to 20%). Other games, including AMD-sponsored ones, showed no improvement at all though.

And Gibbo has also confirmed that LG have 29" and 34" ultrawide freesync monitors next year + the dell 34" will supposedly support freesync.

I am hoping that Samsung's 34" VA ultrawide screen will be freesync too but don't think it is :(

I'm glad I waited and didn't buy a 34" ultrawide straight away.

I've been tear free and input lag free since i bought my 7950 over two years ago.

I dont know why people say this but as i said before maybe its cuz i have had 2ms response time monitors for a long time now. Not 100% sure its that but i always use vsync regardless :cool:

I take it the 24 display part is dependent on useing 4 eyefinity6 cards. Tbh I thought this was already possible :p

Only on Linux.
On windows you could only eyefinity on one card with a max of 6 displays with eyefinity6 as you have mentioned or other cards extended with a MST HUB.
