Will the rog swift get a free sync update?

Yes, you still need tridef. But it does come at half price if you own an AMD card and $25 dollars aint so much.

Smashing money into things is a bit here nor there, nvidia's solutions are not exactly the cheapest, are they?

I hear what you are both saying, I don't mean to come off as agumentative, its not all black and white is what I'm trying to put across, I guess.


As for freesync and how well it will do? Idk, but nvidia fans can be pretty loud. I'm quietly waiting for a nice freesync monitor, cash waiting, but I'm not raving about it.

Not that I am an avid AMD fan, I like both at different times for different reasons.

Nvidia has the cheapest solution for getting into 3D gaming. Anaglyph 3D just works. Like any modern (Like I used a generic 60HZ 1080p TN screen when the 680 came out) panel.

No problem matey, I think you came in to the thread towards the end and have gotten the wrong end of what I was saying slightly. I'm not having a go at anything AMD have done, I am replying to a couple of people who said "Gsync is dead" just because freesync is cheaper. People said the same about 3Dvision, yet 3Dvision is still here however many years later, and supporting AMD3D seems to be an ever increasing case of cobbling something together from now 4 different vendors (that I wasn't even aware of).

I have over the last 2 years owned both kepler and GCN1 cards, so it isn't even like I'm a die hard nvidia fan, I've just ended up with all nvidia kit because it happens to do the things I want at the times I was buying.

But Tridef does free anaglyph 3D for AMD users.

I don't understand your argument; anaglyph 3D is cheap and easy for anyone using AMD or Nvidia.

You have to pay for Tridef, even for just Anaglyph? I could have sworn it was the other software that allowed the use of anaglyph for free, the one which went under. Tridef only has the 14 day trial for free as far as I'm aware?

I remember setting it up for my brother a few years ago.

Or do you mean if you own Tridef you can use Anaglyph nice and easy? Which again, that's the point, you're still paying for Tridef, whereas you'd be paying no money for using what's in the Nvidia drivers?

I mean what I say & I say what I mean! :)

Tridef does free Anaglyph 3D.

After the 14 day trial runs out, the user can still use Anaglyph 3D.

What kind of borks would they be if they charged for Anaglyph 3D, lol.
 
Well then point conceded if that's indeed accurate.

Last time I used it, Anaglyph certainly wasn't free with Tridef. Once the trial expired that was it.
There was another piece of software that did free Anaglyph. I can't remember the name, but it was from the company that went bust.

Googling about Tridef and Anaglyph is no help at all.
 
I'm going by memory too, so I'm prepared to take full cake to the face.

I might be thinking of the other one too, the discontinued one, erm... iZ3D.

:D
 
Yes, that's the one that allowed free Anaglyph; IZ3D.

I'm going to assume you're talking about IZ3D and not Tridef. In which case, my point is what it is, Nvidia have the cheapest solution to getting into 3D gaming. :p
 
Yep I'm almost 100% sure it was a VA 2560X1440 144Hz from AU I was reading about. It caught my attention as we already had 120Hz IPS and PLS screens available.

ah, a quick google reveals it was AHVA, which is AU's version of IPS, not to be confused with VA or AMVA which is probably what you are thinking of, easy to get confused with having "VA" in the name when it is actually an IPS type

I'm afraid to say that as above it looks like Acer have snagged first dibs on it for a Gsync monitor, not that it would make much difference as Realtek have only announced freesync scalers for 1080p up to 144hz and 4K up to 60hz, not seen a freesync scaler for 1440p/120-144hz yet.

It stands for Advanced Hyper Viewing Angle, nothing to do with Vertical Alignment

Again while not strictly an IPS panel variant, we have left AHVA in this section as it is designed as an "IPS-mode" technology. Introduced first at the end of 2012 this technology is designed by AU Optronics as another alternative to IPS. Confusingly the AHVA name makes it sound like it's a VA-type panel, which AU Optronics have been manufacturing for many years. It should not be confused with AMVA which is their current "true" VA technology produced. To date there has only been one AHVA panel produced, a 27" 2560 x 1440 resolution module which has been used in only one screen. The BenQ BL2710PT featured this new technology and gave us some insight into the performance characteristics of AHVA.

Yes, exactly, it isn't a Vertical Alignment panel and it shares many qualities with IPS, so most people categorise it as an IPS type, including it would appear, Acer.
 
I said IPS type and version of, i didnt say they were one and the same thing, i said they had similar performance characteristics.

You said it exactly is a VA panel, which it is not and does not share its performance characteristics.
