i linked the only thing as close to apples to apples comparison, same panel, same manufacturer, same review outlet... i did that exactly so its fair and not based on opinion. that said im done with this shit, i shouldnt care about opinions based on... well nothing concrete it seems

You think those panels would have been made in the first place?

Ok then check mate

You biased opinions like:

calling the gsync certification dubious?

34 minutes ago, Neftex said:

manufacturer slaps the label on it when it passes this "dubious" certification

 

and Dismissing the entire specifics of regulation of gsync as if it isn't intrinsic to the original comments?

slapping gsync on a monitor doesnt magically make it good - you can see that between gsync monitors themselves.

 

 

AND then trying to argue ther was no difference at all?

8 hours ago, Neftex said:

gsync and freesync main function is vrr and you cant say gsync is better at that

 

Biases come in many forms.  Dismissing facts to maintain your opinions are right over someone else's is a pretty strong indication of bias.

Nvidia had a list of requirements for G-sync monitors, Freesync had none. The end result: significantly higher quality on the lower end G-sync monitors than on low end Freesync monitors, where most manufacturers tacked on (bad implementations of) freesync.

 

AMD fixed that with the second edition of Freesync, by introducing similar requirements manufacturers had to follow in order to market their monitors as Freesync 2.

You know if they implied as much though

Is it a result of nvidia strict requirements that now days panels are being used for both because of manufacturing and offering consumers cheaper option?

Do they have color gamut restrictions?

I am not sure how ASUS send their monitor to nvidia for checking and then gets certificate and send it back to ASUS, are "claims from Nvidia".

Is this apply for the new Gsync monitors or the old and new Gsync monitors?

It depends. All this is doing is bringing the VESA standard to G-Sync. So in theory you could flash an old G-Sync module to use the VESA standard on top of whatever G-Sync uses.

I don't know nothing about that flashing module you speak and don't know how to do it, but it is 50/50 that the old g-sync monitors might work with AMD gpu?

It's 0% that any existing G-Sync monitor will work with an AMD GPU considering how recent this announcement is. Either it comes with it, or you have to give it the firmware to make it accept the VESA adaptive sync protocol.

How to can g-sync owners get the firmware? NVIDIA provided?

I dunno, that's up in the air. They only said updated firmware was in the works.

[Mira Yurizaki]

@OlympicAssEater

 

Actually upon further reading, old G-Sync monitors won't get an update:

But there is a caveat. The new firmware will only be compatible with future G-Sync displays, such as the Acer Predator XB273 X. Nvidia told TFT Central that the new firmware will not work with existing G-Sync monitors on the market.

Dang NVIDIA tactic to make you buy new g-sync monitors.

Not really so much as a lot of the G-Sync modules were supposedly FPGAs. Those things aren't straight forward to update.

But them g-sync monitors will take only NVIDIA gpu and no AMD gpu if you want g-sync, and the same with AMD Freesync/Adaptive sync. We need to a new type of monitor sync that take both AMD and NVIDIA gpu.

It's called VESA adaptive sync. AMD has supported it (through FreeSync), NVIDIA just started supporting it, and Intel has plans to support it.

If all three big players support VESA adaptive sync then there is no need to have freesync and g-sync seperate monitors in the future?

FreeSync is AMD's implementation of VESA Adaptive Sync. On the monitor end, "FreeSync" literally means nothing other than it supports Adaptive Sync, AMD just allows monitor manufacturers to put the FreeSync badge at no extra charge. G-Sync can build on top of Adaptive Sync if NVIDIA thinks it can do more features like Lightboost.

 

So to answer the question, FreeSync monitors are basically Adaptive Sync ones. G-Sync monitors aren't obsolete because it builds on top of the idea.

Oh okay. Thanks boss and if a monitor that says adaptive sync support then it will support freesync too?

As far as I know, nobody in marketing uses the term Adaptive Sync. Everyone uses FreeSync.

 

You can thank AMD for that.

Well like I said, "As far as I know"

 

But otherwise Adaptive Sync = FreeSync as far as anyone is concerned.
