Бред, изначально речь шла о том, что на любом мониторе работать будет. А так фейл.

AMD told me that monitors supporting FreeSync are still 6-12 months away from public release, although they managed to get the particular monitor for the demo supporting Adaptive Sync "through some hacking". An executive didn't want to disclose what brand monitors they were using for the demo, or which hardware partners are working on FreeSync monitors, aside from saying that they're collaborating with many of the top brands.

Не было такого.

Т.е. пользователи новых мониторов будут переплачивать за более сложный контролер в случае с АМД или за отдельную плату в случае с Нвидиа. Чудес не бывает, за всё нужно платить. Глупо верить в благотворительность коммерческих организаций.

42Wex видимо имел ввиду что эта технология будет доступна автоматом на всех мониторах с новым дисплей портом, я вот тоже об этом вспомнил из прошлых новостей. А тут оказывается необходимо дорабатывать контроллеры дисплея.

However, Petersen quickly pointed out an important detail about AMD's "free sync" demo: it was conducted on laptop systems. Laptops, he explained, have a different display architecture than desktops, with a more direct interface between the GPU and the LCD panel, generally based on standards like LVDS or eDP (embedded DisplayPort). Desktop monitors use other interfaces, like HDMI and DisplayPort, and typically have a scaler chip situated in the path between the GPU and the panel. As a result, a feature like variable refresh is nearly impossible to implement on a desktop monitor as things now stand.

That, Petersen explained, is why Nvidia decided to create its G-Sync module, which replaces the scaler ASIC with logic of Nvidia's own creation. To his knowledge, no scaler ASIC with variable refresh capability exists—and if it did, he said, "we would know."

My sense is that AMD will likely work with the existing scaler ASIC makers and monitor makers, attempting to persuade them to support dynamic refresh rates in their hardware.
