The two limitations from https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/fa...eSync-on-Linux that I'm most interested are:
1) "In multi-display configurations, FreeSync will NOT be engaged (even if both FreeSync displays are identical)"
2) Freesync only being supported in a *very* limited number of games.

These restrictions are official restrictions from AMD for their current proprietary stack. However, the open source stack is a completely different story. I'm very sure that we will get the "real thing", including multi-monitor and general purpose async.
Btw, the current limited list of games is not even correct. You can use async with far more games as tested by Michael a year ago: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...nc-linux&num=3

It should be a little more polished than the existing pro driver implementation. There are still some deltas between Windows and Linux support for Freesync, but they're being looked at for upcoming improvements. Having the proper support in DRM is the first step that can be used as a building block for further improvements.

Seriously, ok, you have a point, until Samsung produces mostly curved displays, there'll be no big problems in finding a curved model that suits your needs. Still, other brands aren't following Samsung practices, despite they do have a few curved models too.
Problem is curved screens make sense only if they are big enough. They were invented for the cinema and the cinemascope aspect ratio back in the fifties. They were never intended for small places like a living room, let alone a PC seat. A 27" curved display is at best the same as a flat one, at worst ideal only for your goldfish in its bowl, if you place it over your keyboard.Last edited by lucrus; 27 December 2018, 06:47 PM.
