The first time anyone talked about adaptive refresh rates for monitors – specifically applying the technique to gaming – was when NVIDIA demoed G-SYNC back in October 2013. The idea seemed so logical that I had to wonder why no one had tried to do it before. Certainly there are hurdles to overcome, e.g. what to do when the frame rate is too low, or too high; getting a panel that can handle adaptive refresh rates; supporting the feature in the graphics drivers. Still, it was an idea that made a lot of sense.
AMD has launched their Radeon RX 7900 GRE graphics card in the west. Can thew new cards be GREat though? Tony the Tiger in the house.
It's time to give your setup the upgrade of its lifetime with this Cyber Monday AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Cyber Monday deal.
Amazon is currently offering the historic lowest-ever price on the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU for a limited time.
I hope Nvidia will adopt this sooner rather than later. The unnecessary expense, proprietary nature, and exclusivity that G-sync adds to monitors may even become a detriment as a majority of the market moves to new monitors supporting free sync and consumers find simply upgrading to a new AMD card yields the same dynamic refresh rate experience as a new nvidia card and monitor.
