Freesync as Fast As Possible

What is so special about AMD's Freesync? Should you care if your hardware is Freesync compatible?

0:57 more than 1 image per second. gotta love that 1hz monitor linus

That moment when you have a $1000 gaming pc and a 60hz monitor...

[oof]

Who’s watching this after the gsync on freesync monitors anouncement from ces 2019

[MatheusLB]

"Usually pc video cards can often render games at much higher frame rates than 60fps"
I looked at the GeForce 920m seal on my notebook. And cried on the corner.

It's worth to mention tearing happens at any FPS, it's the inherit lack of synchronization that causes this. FPS passing said refresh Hz of your screen is not a barrier where you start seeing tears it's just you'll get more of them at higher FPS because you just have more frames in general.

Typical AMD vs nVidia
AMD - transparent, flexible, free, open
nVidia - screw over AMD at any cost!

Linus even 5 years ago does such a good job giving informative video talks. LMG sure has grown, and this is just one good reason. There are many more. Stay sharp Linus. See ya.

I accidentally bought a monitor and a GPU with freesync, im never rulling out this combo again, great sync

[heeshi]

I got to admit AMD are really stepping it up. I want AMD to beat Nvidia, they are always looked at as second place.

But they seem to produce better priced cards and now better software...

I use a Shitty gts 450 so fan boy not even once

0:26 really had me double check since i'm reworking my graphics

[Deevs]

That was the best explanation of V-sync vs G-sync vs Freesync I've heard so far. Thanks for getting right to the point.

This video needs a refresh. With actual comparisons

[sirsleepnutz]

another victory for consoles ! we never get screen tearing or stuttering ! console master race ! #30fps  *trolling*

[Daisuken]

"Since the monitor's getting more than 1 image per second" - wut

[UnknownXV]

It's no so much tearing that I want to avoid, although that is nice, but the huge benefit of reducing or eliminating stuttering. That's what I hate the most. It seems to me that Gysync or freesync will be especially valuable in SLI/Crossfire setups, where stuttering is more prevalent 

[oznerol]

0:55 Since the monitor is getting more than 1 image per second? I sure hope so! But thats not the cause of screen tearing.

[EricTanGHST]

Simple as usual, AMD is more for Budget Build or Gamers 
NVIDIA well, It's like an Iphone, slap on NVIDIA name on the products, you can sell them least 50% more for the actual price. So Im happy on AMD =) 
Brace yourself, here comes the NVIDIA fanboys hate comments, Amen ! 

[chickenmanicmrt]

love the video guys, you made me think my computer was stuffing up when i saw the screen tear :) and p, s love the subtitles.

[brunodays]

I'm so used to play with high fps on a 60hz monitor that I don't notice tearing that often.
I play a lot of csgo and I go up to 300 fps but I really don't notice tearing probably because I'm focused

[bikersoncall]

8 year old video, and I just discovered
freesync. Informative video, well done.
