Well if your not just ignorant then this must be what used to be termed flaming.
You don't seem to grasp how this is been implemented and are getting stuck on the word optional. The industry has opted in and pledge support. Scaler manufactures have been producing chips for months and we have monitors that are able to support FreeSync that have been available for years and will probably get retro active firmware.
This means not only will new scalers support the feature but so will some older ones. You probably can't draw the correlation between this and your cost argument while you're angry.
We have been one of AMD's Freesync development partners since early last year. The main reason why we never made it public before is to prevent market confusion. We did not want existing and future customers buying the NX-VUE27D assuming we will update it to become Freesync enabled. Also, we will NOT be providing an optional Freesync firmware updates for the NX-VUE27D for current and future owners of the NX-VUE27D.
Sorry, please respond to the question. You said the industry had opted in and then that the GPU was irrelevant.
If only one GPU maker supports it, how is that proof of the industry adopting it?
There is a £10-£20 cost to install a compatible scaler. That doesn't make much difference in a £300 monitor, but, for budget monitors it makes a huge difference. So you still say we will see adaptive sync in ever monitor in a few months?
You're the one that's being ignorant though.
You've been told the actual situation, with the proper terminology.
You're just shouting Freesync scalers like it means something.
You must be trolling, or inept.
Again with the industry opted in. Besides AMD please show me one other company that has opted in?
Did you not read the FAQ from AMD? Or the discussion with Thracks on here? Both say no monitor manufacturer will allow users to update the firmware.
The owner of the company who supplied the monitor for the actual AMD demo last January has also stated they won't release a firmware for the users who have already purchased this monitor. Here is the quote from Peter Nixeus.
Also you still haven't answered my questions.
Who opted in? Do you really need me to copy and paste my earlier posts?
I'm sure the industrious major on third monitor manufactures will be all over FreeSync updates. I'm also sure many other manufactures will use FreeSync to sell more units and will not release updates. That said once a monitor ships with the required firmware update, then I'm sure it will not be long before someone in the enthusiast continuity get hold of it and release it into the wild.
How common are user end firmware updates to a monitor?
Not very.
It's probably not even capable for most of us to upgrade a monitors firmware user side.
And you don't know what Freesync is, so yeah.
I would like a hug please. Dealing with you is agony.
Most aren't designed for end user updating. In the past a common method was a propitiatory serial over VGA connection, some use a custom USB implementation only a very few are easily updated by the end user.
Who opted in? Do you really need me to copy and paste my earlier posts?
That said, I'm finding the world makes a little less sense to me everyday.
FreeSync is certainly not reliant on Intel or Nvidia for support. If they decide to make use of it is another matter.
Would you prefer if I call it adaptive sync?
