AMD FreeSync is a new technology from that gets GPU get in perfect sync with the display so that the graphics card does not send a new frame before the display finishes drawing the existing frame. This removed what is popularly known as ‘screen tear’. A Freesync-compatible AMD Radeon™ graphics card, a Freesync-enabled AMD Catalyst™ graphics driver and a DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync-compatible display work together to abolish tearing, eliminate stuttering and greatly reduce input latency, making life better for gamers, and – really – for anyone who appreciates a seamless viewing experience. AMD has announced this week that Samsung’s Visual Display division will be the first to make use of FreeSync technology and the first UHD displays with FreeSync will be released in March 2015. Samsung UD590 (23.6-inch and 28-inch models) and UE850 (23.6-inch, 27-inch and 31.5-inch models) will be the first monitors from Samsung with build-in FreeSync. Also, Capcom announced that they will collaborate with AMD on AMD Mantle API to enhance “Panta-Rhei” engine to improve Capcom games.
“We are very pleased to adopt AMD FreeSync technology to our 2015 Samsung Electronics Visual Display division’s UHD monitor roadmap, which fully supports open standards,” said Joe Chan, Vice President of Samsung Electronics Southeast Asia Headquarters. “With this technology, we believe users including gamers will be able to enjoy their videos and games to be played with smoother frame display without stuttering or tearing on their monitors.”
“This will improve the performance of our ‘Panta-Rhei’ engine, which was originally developed for console platforms,” said Masaru Ijuin, technical director, Capcom. “Capcom is evaluating AMD’s Mantle technology to help improve the graphics pipeline, and integrate it into ‘Panta-Rhei’ to provide outstanding benefits and impressive performance for gamers as well as the gaming developers.”
“Samsung and Capcom are strategic partners in helping us bring our revolutionary IP and technology to the homes and offices of consumers around the world,” said David Bennett, corporate vice president, AMD APJ. “As we expand our product influence in the commercial sector, we believe open standard technologies like AMD FreeSync and software advancements like our Mantle API will play integral roles in driving the industry forward.”
