AMD FreeSync expands with Premium and Premium Pro editions

AMD FreeSync expands with Premium and Premium Pro editions

If you have watched the AMD CES press-conference yesterday, or read our report on that, you will have noticed that some changed are inbound for FreeSync labeling. 

Over the years the Freesync ECO system now has expanded to over 1000 displays. And new is, of course, the high nits HDR screens. It's not just about a stutter-free experience anymore. Freesync will be further differentiated into Freesync, Freesync Premium and Freesync Premium Pro (all free, but merely tags/labels).

FreeSync Premium is new and FreeSync Premium Pro is the old FreeSync 2 HDR. The requirements include at least 120 Hz and HDR support. So at default, FreeSync we're talking mainly variable refresh. Then the label FreeSync 2 HDR has changed to Premium Pro, requiring a minimum of 120 Hz on full-HD and HDR support. New is the inbetweener, FreeSync Premium and next to a variable refresh it requires at least 120 Hz at full HD resolution and low frame rate compensation. LFR adds additional frames to the image if the video card cannot generate enough frames, which would result in stuttering.  The new labels are more clear, and we believe will push monitor manufacturers to support the better FreeSync badge. 

A bit of a miss is the FreeSync Premium Pro label, as it does not require a certain amount of nits for HDR (e.g. at least HDR600), so all these fake HDR panels would still be compatible.

'FreeSync + LFC' and 'FreeSync 2' don't sound as sexy as 'Premium' and 'Premium Pro', and are no more descriptive of the tech to the uninformed either.
