Ampere and Freesync

[Barbona]

Do you think new Ampere nvidia cards with hdmi 2.1 will support freesync through hdmi like amd cards?

I bought a new monitor few months ago with only hdmi. I dont think it will be "retro compatible" with my hdmi 1.4b (retro compatible as in freesync, obviously it will display image)

G-Sync monitors contain a proprietary module sold by Nvidia. They make a TON on money on that. I highly doubt they will roll over on this one

We’ll know for sure after they come out.  There’s supposed to be an announcement of some kind in a few weeks but that could be anything up to and including nothing at all.  I don’t see Nvidia deliberately extending freesynch monitor compatibility much farther than they already have.  One never knows though. It’s possible they always meant to and never got around to it.  They also might have had to in order to satisfy some other compatibility requirement for hdmi or something.  Stuff happens. Not something I would count on happening.

Yeah like you said im not counting on it. I was thinking maybe with tv's bringing freesync only through hdmi but well.. 

I guess i'll wait and if it turns out to not be compatible i will go with the AMD route.

Thanks!
