Article AdoredTV Nvidia kills freesync....Hmm

[Kenmitch]

Well it looks like Nvidia is up to some more of the shady stuff their end users overlook and don't really care about.

I know you guys don't really like AdoredTV, but it looks like he's onto something this time.

Well it looks like Nvidia is up to some more of the shady stuff their end users overlook and don't really care about.

I know you guys don't really like AdoredTV, but it looks like he's onto something this time.

He is at its best when he is analyzing information. He's not a real tuber in the sense of other guys we watch like Jayz, GN, Pauls and so on. He has no real connections. It's when he started down the rabbit hole of trusting random emails he was recieveing because the original Zen 2 Epyc ones paid off that I think he got a little to loud for what were still rumors. That said I think a lot of people dislike him for telling us rumors, that he called rumors, even if he believed them.

But back to topic. Analyzing data he is on the top of. He analyzed the move of Nvidia opening up Gsync to cover Async, he called this happening. Why would anyone care about Freesync once they could get Gsync without the Nvidia tax. I wouldn't be surprised if was part of the Gsync compatible stickering that you can't advertise Gsync with any other comparable standard. Good news is cheaper Gsync including possibly some manufacturers dropping the Gsync chip entirely for Gsync/async support. Bad news is you won't be able to tell if your paying for a useless chip in the future. Good news for AMD is that Freesync was a success in the sense it put pressure on Nvidia to support it. Bad news is them doing so means a whole branding is lost once that happens. Long run it doesn't matter, to most Freesync meant little, Gsync a lot more, I doubt a Freesync label on a monitor sold their video card. If anything it was the other way around. More Freesync monitors got sold because the user could go cheap since they had a Radeon.
