Really hope that freesync over HDMI makes it into big screen 4k tvs in the future. I thought I was in a very small minority of PC gamers that play from the couch with a large TV (extremely low input lag coupled with a wireless mouse, kb and controller makes it a dream), however I think the popularity of the ultra large wasabi mango displays has proved there is a market for it.
@AMDJoe do you happen to know if AMD has ever considered pushing this tech into that space? Powerful steam boxes are already available and everyone knows just how big the console market is... I'm sure there will be an appetite for UHD gaming from console sized PCs, and freesync over HDMI on 4k panels would really complement this.

What? I never said Asus or Nvidia would send a new module. I said that Nvidia can update the module, via a driver. It's an FPGA -- it can be completely reprogrammed via software updates.

You can set it for going above the range but not below. Although I don't know why you'd want it to set it off for going below. The frame doubling (LFC as AMD calls it) or whatever does a good job of keeping it smooth below the threshold. I'm assuming AMD's solution does the same.
Overall G-Sync or Freesync, the technology is totally worth it. I didn't really believe the hype till I bought my PG278Q and games in the 35-70 fps range definitely become way smoother/better experience when G-Sync is enabled. I'm sure Freesync is the same way. Its something you really have to experience, but I definitely think it's worth the cost of a new monitor or paying $100 more in Nvidia's case.
Lower rates don't really feel much different to me, not that I've done a side-by-side or GS on/off comparison because having it on is nice. The lack of tearing without V-sync is worth it for GS or FS (presuming FS is about the same). The only problem I've had is that some older games won't run at all with G-Sync and sometimes games require I manually set G-Sync to on for the specific game in the NV control panel despite having it as the default.

Maybe some part of HBM cash from nvidia goes to AMD as well, if they would keep it for themselves, nvidia might found other way to use their own HBM or what it was called.
anyway, 2k16 gonna be intersting, Pascal and AC should bring new stuff to the table.
