I suspected that. But is that really it? If AMD with FS2 sort out these small details is there nothing else to separate them?
Price?
You'd need to ask someone who's tried both a G-sync monitor and an LFC supporting Freesync monitor with similarly performing gpu's. From what I've read there's nothing in it, The problem is a lot of Freesync monitors don't readily provide the range details in the marketing info, In comparison we know that all Gsync monitor's support the full range of the monitor be it 50, 100, 144 , 200 or whatever and they also use Nvidia's version of LFC for under 30hz. It makes it less of a minefield compared to Freesync shopping and that's what AMD mean to change with the Freesync 2 branding.
I've noticed that some G-sync equivalents have higher framerates that the Freesync equivalent, For example there's an Acer 2560x1080 VA Ultrawide panel, The Freesync version manages 144hz while the G-sync model reaches 200hz.
I think Jedifragger's just had bad luck with his Freesync monitor choices,
I also had the MG279Q briefly but I sent it back.
The MG279Q's Freesync range is 35-90hz which is odd as it's a 144hz panel,
They also have it marketed as a Republic of gamers model which it isn't,
The straw that broke the camel's back was the amount of light bleed but that will obviously change on a monitor to monitor basis.
All said it wasn't a nice Freesync monitor.
When I finally replace my current freesync monitor it'll be for a Freesync 2 model but I get the feeling we're going to see an additional cost for the certification.
If you're ever Freesync shopping use the following link for info on the different models, scroll to the bottom and pick the monitor's window, It's updated regularly and provides all the info you need.
