Ok look you are missing my point. Freesync(Unlike G-Sync) costs very little to implement (They said some current monitors only need a firmware update). There is no reason monitors have to wait for other things to get better to implement something that works NOW. |
Well, if thats all it requires and there is no additional hardware involved then I will agree with you but from articles like this, it seems to me that it does require something cause what amd is saying is that it costs $100 less than G-Sync monitors but a monitor with G-Sync costs $200-$300+ than a similarly performing monitor without G-Sync.
In other words, if it costs $100 less than G-Sync but still costs $100-$200 more than a monitor that has about the same specs, just without FreeSync, that would mean that there is clearly some additional hardware involved which is why I am skeptical that this will be a widely adopted thing until the end of 2015-2016. If this really does become the standard right from launch, great cause then everyone is happy and I will be very excited to get one but if its not, then I do think it will take until 2016 till it really starts to take off.
