Will the rog swift get a free sync update?

3D has died 10 times over. It's down to the fact thats it crap and always will be.

It hasnt though, pretty much every tv has 3d and there are many 3dvision monitors for sale, it is only AMD's 3D that has died, for exactly the same reasons that i'm highlighting as POTENTIAL problems for adaptive sync.

I've already checked and posted the corrected information for you.

Iiyama have pulled the info about the 4K, nex have never said they will post a firmware update - their monitor was used for a demo and some people on forums have assumed a firmware update will be coming

Some scaler makers have announced they will release scalers that support adaptive synv, Not that they are adding it to their entire range by default, AMD say that it is not financially possible to add adaptive sync to EVERY monitor, only premium priced ones

Define "everyone"... Looking at the three main gpu manufacturers only one of the three have announced support, and not "every" monitor manufacturer has

So all three of your statements are factually incorrect as it stands today.

According to the internet.

FreeSync monitors have been in production for months. That was said months ago BTW.
AMD showed a monitor thats been on sale for 12-18 months running FreeSync. Also months ago.
AMD said 6-12 months ago that FreeSync monitors are already on the market that can support FreeSync. Thats plural not singular.
OcUK offered a FreeSync update on a monitor thats fitted with the same scaler as many others monitors. Yes they might have jumped the gun but go read the reply.

This plus the info I posted is correct.

andybird123 · 1 Jan 2015 at 15:14

But it is all rumour, none of it is confirmed, you are assuming.

We'll just have to agree to disagree, i look for actual confirmation of rumours before calling it confirmed instead of rumour.

If in a years time every single new monitor has freesync and there are no gsync monitors on sale then I'll come back and let you do a victory dance, however unlikely i think that is now.

The LG UM67 is confirmed to support freesync, the Nex and the UC97 are not confirmed, only rumour.

How do you know what scaler the iiyama uses and which other monitors use the same scaler?

jigger · 1 Jan 2015 at 15:21

We will just have agree that you are angry or simply CBA finding the info. It's all well and truly documented. Read the tech sheets for the scaler per monitor.

andybird123 · 1 Jan 2015 at 15:48

I'm looking at the spec sheet for the iiyama, it doesnt mention the make or model of the scaler.

I'm not saying everything you've said is definitely false, i'm saying i've not seen and cant find any evidence it IS true.

You are saying "these things are definitely true" so the onus is on you to provide the information, waving your hands about excitedly and referring to "the internet" is not evidence.

And no, still not angry, very amused though, thanks for the entertainment on a rainy afternoon.

New killer feature? What, even more sync? If it deviates from synchronisation then it's not really a "gsync" feature.

The Emperor's new clothes comes to mind here.

So if the next generation of Gsync runs with a broader hertz range than the currant one maybe even a broader range than the already very broad range that Freesync has listed. Or maybe being able to be used over HDMI/DVI (this has already been noted by Nvidia that there is no reason why it couldn't).

So neither of those would be killer new features.

And those are just two I can think of off of the top of my head. Who knows own what the boffins at Nvidia are working on. :rolleyes:

I hope NV are working on Adaptive Sync and a Mantle driver.

Not posting up the make and model of the iiyama freesync scaler then?

Why do people think it's as simple as releasing a driver? It's obviously not.

jigger · 1 Jan 2015 at 16:20

Your still to angry TBH and I think that info might make you want to hurt something small and fluffy.

Make a full apology and remove all the troll posts and I'll think about it.

Because everyone says NV are mutts when it comes to drivers. I'm sure one of the driver dev team could knock something up in his lunch hour?

Something like a 30" 5000x2000 100Hz Gsync CRT for around £1-2000 would be awesome. Thats about the only thing that could tempt me to get suck with NV long term and mis out on what AMD are doing.

No I'm serious. I would love to see a Mantle driver for NV cards. My wallet is waiting

But it's not as simple as launching a driver. It'd be surprising if the Nvidia GPU's in existence were even capable of Mantle.

jigger · 1 Jan 2015 at 16:53

Do you write drivers or something? NV are a huge company and seem to have plenty of cash and a much bigger driver team than AMD. I'm sure if AMD can get Mantle off the ground by themselves NV could build a driver from the public SDK?

Yeah, I'm just going to assume you're trolling now.

Nvidias cards are magically going to work with an API built up for GCN with a new driver for their architecture. Oh no wait, we don't live in fairy land.

OK. Good talk.

In my opinion the best thing Nvidia could do is make the GSync scalar module Adaptive Sync compatible. That way any GSync monitor sold would be able to be advertised as GSync and Freesync compatible, something that FreeSync only monitors would not be able to do. Nvidia would still sell GSync modules, probably more than if they were to keep them Gsync only.

second that

Ok fair enough.
Could you please tell us all exactly what AMD are doing that you don't want to miss out on, because from what you have said so far in this thread I am of the belief that you dont actually know what you are talking about.

Prove me wrong and I will be more than,happy to,say I am wrong.
