FreeSync and Low Latency Modes Coming To Xbox One Consoles
Good news if you own an Xbox One S or X, Microsoft's and AMD announced that FreeSync will be added to the Xbox family of consoles yesterday. Also, low latency mode support will be added.
Freesync eliminates (or helps) to get rid of tearing and stuttering while gaming, enabling the display and Xbox One to work together to create a smooth and seamless gaming experience. While the game console will soon be getting 1440p support with the spring update — now live for testers. Of course, you would need to connect the console to a FreeSync compatible screen, and thus monitor.
Xbox One gets FreeSync and Xbox One S gets FreeSync 2 with HDR support. Also on the way is support for AMD Freesync-compatible monitors and the ability for TVs to automatically switch to low latency mode.
On the TV side, many televisions these days have a low latency mode — or game mode — that turns off image processing in order to cut down on lag. A number of new TVs this year, such as certain Samsung models, will have the ability to automatically switch to this game mode when it detects a game being played. Microsoft says Freesync support should debut sometime in the spring, while the auto low latency feature won’t arrive until later this year.

Freesync over HDMI 2.0 is supported since the very first Freesync monitors came out March 2015, and GPUs support it since Nov-Dec of the same year (2015)

I sure hope not. I'm looking at this very issue with my receiver being older than my new television and I have to pass everything to the tv just so I can pass audio through an optical cable to my receiver!
Once I upgrade the receiver I'll be alright, but with this now stated do I need to wait for something that is going to allow this kind of "tech.....!?!"
