[hypothetical]AMD Freesync on X1

MonoShadow · Dec 3, 2015

Hi.

In recent podcast on AMD Radeon Software Crimson driver update AMD representative said they're working on a Freesync, AMD adaptive vsync, over HDMI support. It's not set in stone or anything, so my question is purely hypothetical.

According to several open internet sources Xbox one uses AMD GPU based on a Bonaire architecture, which is a part of GCN 1.1 family, according to AMD cards starting with GCN1.1 or greater can use certain AMD technologies such as Freesync. Displays can update
their firmware to implement Freesync support.

So is there any chance X1 will use this technology in case it goes live?

120hz and AMD FreeSync (Variable Refresh Rate)

Hello!! I come to get help because I can not activate the 120hz and AMD FreeSync at the same time ...

I have a monitor Iiyama GB2560HSU, AMD FreeSync, 144hz, 1080p.

- When I put the display on HDMI, I can switch to 120hz, but I can not activate AMD FreeSync (Variable refresh rate)

- When I put the display on DVI, I can not switch to 120hz and I can not activate AMD FreeSync.

- When I put the display on automatic, I can not switch to 120hz, but I can activate AMD FreeSync !!

How does this do ?? I see that others have managed to activate the 2!

Thank you for your answers!!

You can find a list on the AMD website*:

Keep in mind that not all of them are on Xbox.

Hi RyanSleeper,

Welcome to the Xbox family and I hope you enjoy your console.

I would say leave the 4k monitors especially for gaming. Crazy as it sounds, 4k is still pretty hard to push and pushing games past 60hz on a 4k monitor is pretty intense even for super high end PC’s. With your One S I would save some cash and look at 1440p
monitors that are compatible with 120hz over HDMI and have a 1ms response time. 1440p is also the sweet spot for PC gaming and will be for many years to come. So it will last you for many years.

There is a saying that frames win games and its true. Whilst the 1ms response time is great, often enough to get 1ms you will likely experience motion blur. The more important figure is choosing a faster refresh rate over faster response time. I would take
a 120hz 1440p monitor over a 60hz 4k monitor any day especially for games where the framerate is not capped.

Here is a great link from the Xbox Support page, deffo worth a read :

At the moment I have my eyes on an Aorus CV27Q 1440p monotor that will be used for Xbox gaming and Raspberry Pi stuff but I am waiting to see if there are any videos where it is used with an Xbox.

Hope this helps and do let me know how you get on and what you decide
