Does the R9 290 support HDMI Freesync?

[AskingForAFriend]

Just a question: does the AMD R9 290 support freesync over HDMI? Because my freesync monitor only supports hdmi freesync.

I believe Radeon GPUs support FreeSync over any output.

HDMI only supports variable refresh rates on 2.1, which the R9 290 does not have.

Yes, it does.

FreeSync over HDMI has been implemented on HDMI displays as far back as HDMI 1.4. The standardized implementation introduced in 2.1 is not supported on previous versions, that does not mean that non-standardized implementations (i.e. AMD's) don't exist.

 

Don't confuse "HDMI 2.1 Game Mode VRR" with "variable refresh rate technology" in general.

GCN 2nd gen and newer support FreeSync over HDMI and Displayport. R9 290 is 2nd gen.

2.1 has native Variable Refresh Rate.

All current monitors with Radeon FreeSync™ Over HDMI® are using a vendor HDMI extension which works with HDMI 1.4/2.0.
