AMD lists Radeon GPUs that support FreeSync

AMD lists Radeon GPUs that support FreeSync

AMD created an information page explaining that only ertain graphics cards will support FreeSync. All AMD Radeon graphics cards in the AMD Radeon HD 7000, HD 8000, R7 or R9 Series will support Project FreeSync for video playback and power-saving purposes. The AMD Radeon R9 295X2, 290X, R9 290, R7 260X and R7 260 GPUs additionally feature updated display controllers that will support dynamic refresh rates during gaming.

AMD APUs codenamed "Kaveri," "Kabini," "Temash," "Beema" and "Mullins" also feature the necessary hardware capabilities to enable dynamic refresh rates for video playback, gaming and power-saving purposes. All products must be connected to a display that supports DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync.
 
It is our current understanding that the software architecture of select games may not be compatible with dynamic refresh rate technology like Project FreeSync. In these instances, users will be able to toggle the activation of FreeSync in the AMD Catalyst driver.

AMD FreeSync will get rid of screen tearing and tiny sync stuttering/pulsing. The protocol FreeSync / Adaptive Sync will be embedded into DisplayPort 1.2a and eDP (embedded Displayport), there is a catch though, manufacturers of monitors are free to decide wether or not to support the technology. At Computex there are supported monitors on display, AMD however will not reveal the manufacturers just yet. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) already announced the addition of 'Adaptive-Sync' to its popular DisplayPort 1.2a video interface standard.

Awesome! I hope to seen new displays supporting adaptive sync come out soon. Hopefully manufacturers won't be douchebags and make the feature exclusive to gaming grade monitors like they did with Gsync.

Goodie. Now bring on freesync display! and of course for every display type not only crappy TN that are aimed at only some weird gamers. Cause we do know there are better displays then TN out there for everyone!

Well, i think this will be the case since the Monitor still needs specific hardware to process VBLANK. It's not just DisplayPort 1.2a and it can use FreeSync/Adaptive Sync.

Interesting story this unfolding...

Question is will it be any good...? Tbh am still on the fence re all this. I.e will freesync or gysnc be that much of a game changer..

Pay extra when arguably you can have as much fun on a screen without..perhaps am being a bit of a party pooper.

p.s yeah I know Hilbert and members here like it..but it's not gonna give u a lack of sleep :)

Having a Swift, G-Sync is definitely a game changer. Like I went into it expecting nothing but definitely was impressed after. it literally makes 40fps games feel like 100+fps games. I'm sure Freesync will be no different.

And they already said that Freesync monitors will be $80-100 cheaper then G-Sync ones, which means they are charging a premium for the feature as the G-Sync module itself is $300. Doesn't surprise me though, monitors have been at a race to the bottom for a long time now. If the OEM's can value-add features for cheap they are going to do it.
