    It would be good to know if the same restrictions apply to this as apply to AMD's closed source FreeSync support.

    Does it need any hardware feature to support VRR or is just a software solution? That is, an old GPU could support VRR?

    But is it really? Or does it require some hardware bits?

    Finally I can justify my purchase of a new screen in July :-)

    That's another item off the open source driver team's TODO list then...

    I'm genuinely looking forward to what's coming next as AMDGPU is getting more and more feature complete. At some point we're probably going to see a lot of performance related work after all of the major features have been squared away.

    This is great, but I wish we had this sooner.
