Update of AMD FreeSync 2 technology, which will be renamed AMD FreeSync 2 HDR, due to certain improvements that have been implemented.
AMD FreeSync technology, explained in a simple way, is a technology that allows you to adjust the frame rate produced by the graphics card, with the maximum allowed by the monitor (in the event that the maximum can be reached). This utility is free, so it can be implemented on monitors, without raising the cost. AMD, in order for the user to have the best possible quality, has decided to make some changes to the FreeSync 2 technology, increasing the technical demands, so that the user has the best experience and the best possible image quality.
AMD elevates the features of AMD FreesSync 2 technology.
During an interesting interview from the guys at PCPer and members of AMD, they have obtained very interesting information regarding important changes within the FreeSync technology. The company has found significant misunderstandings, or inaccuracies, regarding the FreeSync 2 features over the original first-generation technology. To avoid confusion and more accurately expose the improvements, the technology is being renamed FreeSync 2 HDR. They will place particular emphasis on Low Framerate Compensation (LFC) implementations and enhancements for tone mapping.
They want to make it clear that monitors, to receive this FreeSync 2 HDR certification, need compatibility with at least HDR 600, 99% coverage of BT.709 and 90% of the DCI P3 color spectrum. They want to establish a minimum response time, although it seems that it has not yet been established, since they have not given the data. The name change goes beyond a simple aesthetic change, since it has gone from the HDR 400 of the FreeSync 2 to the HDR 600 in this FreeSync 2 HDR.
It is very interesting that AMD wants to be even more demanding with those who implement this technology, seeking the best for the user. Sure, AMD has its shadows, but it also has its lights, like all companies.
