Does freesync work on Nvidia GPUs...

Does freesync work on Nvidia GPUs? I read a long time ago some one managed to do a bypass or something to get it working on his 1060 but there's literally no other discussion about it.

What's the conclusion on this?

nvidia are jews

amd only supports freesync and nvidia only supports gsync. capitalism at its finest

Nvidia could easily support freesync since it's an open standard. AMD can't use gsync since it's completely proprietary.

yes it works.
A driver was distributed to a guy in northern europe, that had enabled g-sync on a laptop that didn't have it.
eDP has mandatory support for variable frame rate and novidia had it working.
They don't want to enable it because they get a shitload of money for the inferior g-sync.

FREEsync

It is an open standard that anything using Displayport 1.2 or above can take advantage of.

Gsync is completely proprietary. It only works with NVidia GPU's and the monitor manufacturers have to get a special snowflake chip from Nvidia to put in their monitors in order to be able to use it.

You are retarded.

To add to that, Nvidia does support freesync - on laptops. Most (if not all) "Gsync" laptops are actually generic freesync. Nvidia could enable freesync on their desktop GPUs with but a driver change.

Shitsync is not an open standard at all and it doesn't work at all

Only G-Sync works well

being an open standard doesn't mean anything when only one company supports it

How can one be alive with a brain damaged this bad?
t. Nvidia GPU owner

Freesync does allow 10bit tho, G-Sync doesn't but is better in terms of screen tearing, stuttering and input lag.

Because there are 2 relevant companies making GPUs and 1 is refusing to use anything other that their proprietary technology you fucking retarded mouthbreathing brainlet.
If you subtract 1 from 2 then you are left with 1.

Intel also supports it, so that's 2

Nice channel there DigitalFoundry! I sure enjoyed those 2 goofy based boys haha!

Variable refresh rate is a meme.

freesync is open source and can be used by anyone who wants to use it
gsync is proprietary shit. locked down by jewvidia

eventually, they will switch to freesync themselfs once amd convinced all the tv brands to implement it

>AYYMD with no marketshare convincing anyone to adopt Shitsync

G-Sync HDR already won the adaptive sync war, real products that just works, Shitsync is garbage that no one buys except poorfags wanting poor experiences

Ban everyone in this thread

Nvidia GPUs can technically do FreeSync but they are purposely blocking it so you pay your G-Sync tax

starting with u ;>

freedom from this shilling hellhole would be a welcome respite
>deliberate disinformation rampant
>trolling shills trying to get a rise out of brand loyalists
this board needs a gommunist style purge

>shills
>plural
atleast in this thread it is only 1 reddit drone. but I can totally agree with your points. Jow Forums needs more moderation

Both G-sync and freesync are very similar in how they work and what they are based on.

The thing is that AMD went with the software route where each manufacturer can tweak it, by doing this they also reduced the costs since they moved the problem to someone's else hand.
This also caused two things which both are good and bad. Every manufacturer has their own implementation of it somce are really good, some fucking suck because we get chink developers.

Nvidia went with the hardware way, where all that crap is done in a little chip that's added to the cost of the monitor by the manufacturers since they gotta pay for it.
The good thing of this implementation is that you can buy any monitor that supports it and it will always have the same consistent results, also way lower latency than software synchronization but now you gotta pay out of your ass for it.

In short AMD went this isn't my problem but here's some guidelines to make it a good experience if you guys are willing or competent enough.
Nvidia went with the autistic kid way where unless you do exactly like they said no deal.

I would love to see both AMD and nvidia stop being children and poking each other and for once in their fucking lives work together on something, even if that meant creating standards.
Think of CUDA running on AMD stuff, freesynch on nvidia, g-sync (aka freesync on hardware) on amd, etc.
Competing on this sort of low level functionality is retarded, it's lika a car company trying to stop other car companies from having wheels in their cars.

I meant in general. This thread will quickly head in that direction just by the nature of mentioning two brands at once.

uh, that's wrong, sweetie
latency is exactly the same
and there are bad g-sync implementations as well (though freesync has more bad implementations)

fpbp

>uh, that's wrong, sweetie
Opinion already discarded there, started with muh sweetie le ess jay doublius meme from /v/ and Jow Forums

>latency is exactly the same
Hardware implementation is as fast as software one with multiple layers of abstraction on top
This is how I know you're not even a CS undergrad.

>and there are bad g-sync implementations as well (though freesync has more bad implementations)
And this is how I know you're the shill who ignore the entire explanation with pros and cons on both sides, pajeet.

Again I will iterate, biggest issue with nvidia is that they implemented that shitshow in hardware on a chip that adds cost and locks it down to their hardware only so AMD wouldn't even have a chance to do it themselves.
AMD did make the implementation "free" aka in the hands of the monitor developers but nvidia will never implement their side of things in their drivers anyways.

Keep being a shill and licking the balls of giant companies instead of pushing them into standardizing basic low level features like these in both their products to give consumers more options.

An every fucking monitor company on the planet has it.its even coming on TVs.

they won't, because that would make freesync more widespread, which makes it harder to push a more costly option

jewtel also supports freesync, it is a vesa standard

sigh why are we still discussing this.
Freesync is dead on arrival, AMD fans can pull their "wait for it!" body pillows till freesync 2 comes with the fixes needed.

dumb shill poster

How is there tearing? Isn't that what this is supposed to prevent?

he's talking out of his ass. Freesync prevents tearing as long as it's within the tolerance of the panel, i.e. if the panel has a freesync range of 45 to 144 hz it won't tear within those frequencies. The problem is lots of freesync monitors have smaller ranges, and it's up to the consumer to find out which one is which. G sync has a different range but it's more standardized, freesync 2 is bringing this same kind of standard and basic HDR.(which imo is unnecessary for gaymers but hey it's a marketing gimmick)

G-Sync 1.0 is at a dead-end. It is Nvidia SLI 1.0 all over again.

Nvidia SLI used to be exclusive to Nvidia chipsets (back when they had them).

Once Intel got back into the game with Core 2 family and beyond. Nvidia chipsets simply couldn't complete against Intel.

They threw the towel and open-up SLI for all non-AMD/ATI chipsets/platforms.

I expect a similar story with G-Sync 1.0 once VESA's VRR spec becomes ubiquitous. Nvidia will magically release "G-Sync 2.0" which is their implementation of VESA VRR spec (They have been doing it for their mobile GPUs) with a firmware/driver release.

Freesync and G-Sync provide identical results if panels are equal.

The difference is 59-144Hz range, ULMB, Lightboost are optional items for Freesync while G-Sync requires them. In other words, Nvidia puts much tighter QC on its monitor vendors.

thanks for the clarification, user

And variable overdrive

>XboneX supports Freesync
>Most 4k displays with Freesync support have a range between 40~60hz
Fucking useless when all you shitbox can handle is cinematic 24fps.

Fixed that for you.

I use an nvidia GPU and it's really frustrating that freesync isn't compatible since it's the more elegant solution and getting more support than g-sync.

G-sync is basically: every monitor you buy after this will be more expensive because it requires nvidia's scaler.
Freesync is basically: just use displayport 1.3 and an adaptive display

Nvidia banked on AMD not being able to follow-up g-sync at least not quickly.
They were wrong.
Now if you own an nvidia GPU and want to use adaptive refresh on your PS4/XBO you need two separate displays, or if you see a good monitor on sale that's freesync you're fucked.

This is unironically the reason I'm waiting for 7nm vega. Even if it fails to pull a Ryzen ends up being inferior it'll be good enough for almost everything these days, and I'll be able to buy actually good monitors.

Shitsync is not elegant, it's a garbage solution by a shit company trying to steal G-Sync's thunder but that has pretty much failed, every Shitsync monitor has terrible problems

You are not an Nvidia user, you're just an AYYMD asskissing troll shill

poorfag confirmed

It's not a technical limitation if that's what you're asking.

>that would make freesync more widespread
freesync already IS more widespread, there are 100+ freesync monitors on the market, there are hardly more than a few dozen G-sync.

Yes

Im actually running gtx 1080 with a cheap 144hz freesync monitor

There is only 1 company NOT supporting it.
Everybody else is.

sooner or later everyone will use freesync.

254 monitors already do use it and tv's are now following. see

More isn't better

Some monitors that are capable of enabling variable sync through the monitor menu can force it on nvidia gpus. That's about it.

All those things are panel dependant, there is a slight input lag disadvantage, but freesync 2 is going to be a more stringent standard more closely resembling gsync. Once that really takes off, you'll have basic cheap freesync panels that will likely exhibit all the aforementioned issues, then the high end freesync 2 panels that parity gsync.

Nvidia won't share or collaborate on anything, you says it's both of them but it's by far and large Nvidia hampering these things. Amd just acts childish by taking pot shots at Nvidia in marketing.

Amd supports free and open source software / technology that's hardware agnostic. Example: their Cuda recompiler for rocm actually runs Cuda code better on nvidia gpus than just running it natively. Nvidia on the other hand repeatedly makes things in a way that will only function on their hardware, and does whatever they can to prevent people from using it outside of their intention. Example: people came up with a workaround for artificial driver limitations such as using a physx slave with an amd gpu as the primary. Nvidia then coded the driver in a way that of it detects this, physx reverses gravity.

>No one is supporting Shitsync garbage except AYYMD
That's factually incorrect though. Microsoft, Samsung, Intel and fucking Nvidia (via their laptops) all support FreeSync/VESA adaptive sync. Up your shilling game.

Nvidia does not support Shitsync even on laptops

It's superior G-Sync, keep on crying and moaning and bitching like a bitch though

Nvidia doesn't use the special G-Sync chip required for a desktop monitor to support G-sync in their laptops that support G-sync

Apparently they can support G-sync on laptop monitors just through the GPU.

So what the fuck is that special chip for, if it's not even needed?

The hardware in G-Sync 1.0 is a hold-over before VESA's VRR standard over Displayport 1.2 was finalized.

Nvidia kept it around as a "walled garden" to ensure that "G-Sync users are forced to used their ecology.

G-Sync 1.0 will die as soon it becomes economically untenable to keep it locked.

Nah, G-Sync 1.0 is dated garbage and Freesync 2 is also proprietary garbage.

The only winner is going to be VESA's adaptive VRR standard over displayport. AMD and Nvidia already implement it (Freesync 1/Nvidia's "G-Sync" for their mobile GPUs). Nvidia can easily unlock for their deskop GPUs with a simple driver/firmware update. They will certainly do it once the G-Sync 1.0 ecology becomes not viable from an economic standpoint.

>Freesync 2 is also proprietary garbage

FS2 is still basically a Underwriter Labs-like approval stamp over a slightly enhanced minimum feature set.
Are you sperging out over GPU-offloaded tonemapping or something?

freesync is like vulkan. sooner or later nvidia is going to support it. and there is no shilling in the world that is going to change this fact

Nvidia will never support Shitsync

Nvidia is 80% marketshare and Nvidia users get the best in G-Sync, G-Sync has pretty much won the war, keep on being extremely delusional though AYYMDPOORFAGS, it's hilarious and pathetic

Shitsync is not Vulkan, it's more like OpenCL and Apple has deprecated that garbage, meaning it will never achieve mass adoption
