    include HDMI 2.1 VRR support for G-SYNC Compatible
    Awesome, a great improvement.
    Another piece of the puzzle squared away for widespread HDMI 2.1 VRR adoption.

      What you wanted to say was, it adds FreeSync support. Honestly F. VRR and g-sync compatible nonsense.

        FreeSync is supported exclusively via DisplayPort. HDMI VRR is HDMI VRR.

          VRR is the name of the HDMI standard (protocol?). Just like Adaptative Sync is for DisplayPort. Freesync is AMD's brand.

          It's a bit like HDMI CEC vs T-Link (ITT) HDAVI Control, EZ-Sync, VIERA Link (Panasonic) EasyLink (Philips) NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi)...

            Nevertheless, I would like to have HDMI VRR on my RX580.
