Minimum/maximum refresh rate columns

[edit]

I propose to split the two minimum/maximum refresh rate columns into three: minimum variable refresh / maximum variable refresh / maximum refresh

Minimum variable refresh rate Maximum variable refresh rate Maximum refresh rate

Rationale: Some monitors have a maximum refresh rate which is different from the maximum variable refresh rate. On the other hand, the minimum non-variable refresh rate is usually not interesting. Thoughts? --Chithanh (talk) 09:56, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AMD Renames Removed

[edit]

The rest of Wikipedia generally ignores AMD's marketing relabels for its GPUs (e.g. R9 390X is "Hawaii" not "Grenada"), so I've edited this to conform.

I have no problem (DGAF) with us using them, but we need to be consistent in nomenclature. If we do, we do everywhere. If not, we do everywhere. Wayne Hardman (talk) 19:42, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of monitors/GPUS?

[edit]

Does having this list really add anything meaningful to the article other than making maintaining it a chore? It may have been useful information when there was only a handful of models with support, but it's starting to get a little ridiculous. Xjph (talk) 11:48, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The standard GPU and APU templates already contain the same information. I will remove. Dbsseven (talk) 20:37, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Conversation here seems to indicate that people agree with my opinion; this list does not belong in this article. However, the list has been restored and continues to be updated tirelessly, mostly by user User:Nelly_GTFC. Maybe User:87.167.84.112's comment below about moving the list to a seperate article is an idea, if people want to continue to update it. I don't think it should stay here though, since it's growing quite long and doesn't add anything. Sharradan (talk) 07:25, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've made the List of FreeSync monitors collapsible and by default, as the list is quite big. Feel free to change back if you think it's not necessary? --Nelly GTFC (talk) 20:42, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think this seems like a fair compromise if the table is to be maintained. Dbsseven (talk) 15:41, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

FreeSync 2 is coming

[edit]

Add here or extra article?

IMHO the list with monitors can move to an extra arctile - it is long, no extra informations and confusingly. -- 87.167.84.112 (talk) 09:45, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Need better source for FreeSync being "adopted" into the VESA DisplayPort standard.

[edit]

Currently, none of the listed sources have a proper, verifiable source stating that FreeSync is actually a part of the current DisplayPort standard, and the DisplayPort FAQ on the 1.4 standard specifically states that it is "base" on the Adaptive-Sync standard. I would request we rephrase the Adaptive-Sync section so-as to avoid confusion. --Sagacity159 (talk) 22:24, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Content changed as per this FAQ page from AMD. "Radeon FreeSync™ technology is a unique AMD hardware/software solution that utilizes DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync protocols..." I believe this clearly and definitively states that Displayport's Adaptive-Sync and AMD's FreeSync are non-identical, and thus the source used in this article is inaccurate. I'll leave this open for awhile before closing. --Sagacity159 (talk) 02:08, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
