How can it work "just fine" when it's riddled with screen flashes?
The official press release from AMD listed monitors that only supported 30Hz as the lower limit. The reason being that this is limit of current display tech.
The current limit of freesync is 9Hz.. this say scaler manufactuer have choose 24hz minimum for now .... Nvidia G-sync is set to go " offline" at 30Hz ( 33.3ms ) , so please, im nost sure what do you imply with that ..
I think you misunderstand somewhere, softwares, scalers, and hardware limits. It was clearly state by AMD that the first iteration was use not a 9hz as minimum, but scalers producers will start at 24hz 6 months ago...
Understand it clearly, this is not AMD hardware or freesync who cant do it, but scalers manufacters who have better like to use the 24hz as under limit. ( technical question ?.. )
Technically if 33.3ms / 30hz is a limit on the panem, freesyncl will use this lmit, if panel can go under .... Freesync is able to follow... AMD is not Samsung or LG, nor MVPA ( ok i think have list 90% of LCD panels on the market ).. they will not create your monitor panel ... They create only the software / part on gpu side ...
I dont know where you go graham, you base your question on panel / monitor manufacturer who have do their own choice, based on the technology they want to use . .. AMD dont control their choice, their technology choice...The panel, they want use .. ( i want a superAmoled 4K on a 34" )..
9Hz can only be used for low image display as reduce power consumption on fixed image, or for low operation on deskop .. you want to play a game with 9hz ? display a movie at 9hz ? with what 4000hz interpolation, like it is possible with the omega driver ?
( for be more clear, it is not freesync who can go as low as 9hz, but the vesa standard adaptive sync, freesyncis just her fort use it its part of the spec of adaptive sync. Nvidia can use it, Intel can use it, qualcomm can use it, ARM can use it, my mom, can use it if she wanted )
