Yesterday afternoon can be considered the beginning of the mass appearance in the sale of monitors with support for AMD FreeSync. This technology allow to control the graphics card frame rate monitor, delaying the update frame to its full preparation of the graphics card. It turns out the perfect synchronization of the adapter and monitor promises to remove the image from a number of artifacts and lead to the smooth operation of the PC graphics system even at relatively modest FPS. The technology is based on the AMD FreeSync specification standard DisplayPort and does not require proprietary development. A similar technology from NVIDIA - G-Sync - requires the installation of the monitor corporate controller and buffer, which is considerably more expensive.
So, yesterday AMD announced appearance in the sale of a sufficient number of monitors with support FreeSync.
For example, the model 27-inch BenQ XL2730Z stands on the site Newegg $ 630. Resolution of the model is equal to 2560 x 1440 pixels, the refresh rate is changed in the range of 40-144 Hz. Response time when changing from gray to gray 1ms. Note the similar characteristics Monitor Asus ROG Swift PG278Q, which built block NVIDIA G-Sync, there on the site is worth $ 780 or $ 150 more expensive. At the same time, according to the source, both products equally well to cope with adjusting frame rate. Moreover, on sale there Monitor Acer XG270HU with almost the same characteristics as BenQ XL2730Z, which cost another $ 100 less - $ 500, which makes a difference with the "G-Sync" already $ 250.
Also on sale, you can find two monitors with LG's on-the-extra-wide display with a resolution of 2560 x 1080 pixels: a model with 29-inch screen costs $ 450, with a 34-inch - $ 650. Both monitors support variable frame rates from 48 to 75 Hz.
We specify a list of graphics cards from AMD technology to support FreeSync quite finite and limited relatively fresh solutions. In addition, the technology FreeSync does not work when connected CrossFire-bundles of multiple graphics cards. The appropriate drivers and support will appear during April. Perhaps in the package Catalyst 15.3 (beta version). Related Products :
