The latest tech which involves AMD's FreeSync Technology, which is comparable to Nvidia's G-Sync, is produced to make gameplays even better by smoothing out and reducing stutter and tearing. It will synchronize to refresh the rates of the graphic cards and the monitor itself. AMD FreeSync 2 is out to several monitor vendors and about 120 more displays.

Gaming-related concerns are causing a lot of headaches and through the promising tech of AMD's FreeSync, these will all be abolished. However, it will not be a successor but instead a cousin which will be released sometime in 2017. The FreeSync 2 is created to manipulate the best pictures while producing the lowest possible lag from the gorgeous creations such as the HDR PC monitors.

The gaming experience will be enhanced through AMD's FreeSync by delivering high dynamic range visuals by primarily performing the color tone subsequently finding a scene rendered by the engine. After which, the image is transferred to the monitor while considering proper fitting for the display's support range. (via PCWorld)

AMD FreeSync 2 will provide a win-win situation by coping up with the monitor's native characteristics by duplicating the screen's properties while performing the initial tone mapping of the game. By doing so, the best possible image will be delivered and at the same time, eliminating the number one cause of gaming headache: lag.

However, FreeSync 2 has its major drawback and it involves working only between designated refresh rates like 40Hz to 75Hz as an example. This is crucial when FPS performance is lower than the FreeSync standard. (via ARS Technica)

The latest development is expected to come out in the first half of 2017. For now, AMD FreeSync 2 is working on with several panel vendors on various projects so hopefully, the release will not be delayed. Despite some of its flaws, the said tech is advantageous as it will maximize the potentials of HDR displays and minimize lag issues, thus making every penny spent worthily.
