GeForce cards now working with Freesync?

[Troezar]

Just saw this report:

https://techreport.com/blog/34136/g...-begin-playing-nice-with-tr-freesync-monitors

Good news if so... I'm presuming this is different from the "hack" reported a while back given the date of the article?

Using 411.70 drivers, DP cable, exclusive modes in-game.

Simple answer is NO. Assuming you do not plan to use an AMD APU...

Have another read of the article, no mention of using an APU I can see. It seems to just be working now on newer drivers.

Curious. Very curious.

Is only 1 monitor and the word of 1 person only. Clickbaiting in progress here until is confirmed for other monitors by more people.

Well, anyone with an Nvidia card and Freesync monitor around to test it?

Very interesting. This is different to frame copy hack discussed in the other thread. I will try this out later today.

I've been reading techreport for years, they've never seemed the clickbaity type.

I'll give that driver a try later today, though I run a different freesync monitor and a 980ti.

Handful of reports on reddit with screenshots showing it working.

Article has just been updated to say they think it is some form of vsync which is being added by Windows Desktop Manager. Doesn’t explain why monitors are detecting it as Freesync.

I've tested with my 980ti, 411.70 and Acer ZG270HU using https://www.testufo.com/freesync.

Something is happening but I don't think it is freesync, maybe extra vsync being added somewhere? I'll try some games later.

Can you share the link please?

Here’s a couple.

However, it is now looking like this is triple buffering vsync and the monitors are misreporting the mode.

Update 9/30/18 3:22 AM: After further research and the collection of more high-speed camera footage from our G-Sync displays, I believe the tear-free gameplay we're experiencing on our FreeSync displays in combination with GeForces is a consequence of Windows 10's Desktop Window Manager adding some form of Vsync to the proceedings when games are in borderless windowed mode, rather than any form of VESA Adapative-Sync being engaged with our GeForce cards. Pending a response from Nvidia as to just what we're experiencing, I'd warn against drawing any conclusions from our observations at this time and sincerely apologize for any misleading conclusions we've presented in our original article. The original piece continues below for posterity.

Bearing in mind it's Nvidia, it was probably too optimistic!

They more likely looking to stop it some how

This one miracle is destined not to happen
