I recently made a post about my FreeSync certified monitor not supporting VRR over HDMI. I thought that there was VRR support over HDMI even for versions below 2.1 spec. Am I mistaken in my assumption¿? Has the HDMI forum prevented the implementation of FreeSync in the open source drivers¿?
Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec.
So just switch to DisplayPort…in fact, it would have been easier to just buy a displayport cable than it would have been to make this post.
You’re using an operating system specifically because it is free and open source, and then complaining when a closed, proprietary, licensed spec isn’t implemented. So you’re right, there sure are…looks like there are at least half a dozen of them so far.
Well frankly, I dont actually care much about VRR. The post was only to gather information because I saw some conflicting info. I agree that expecting an implementation of a proprietary spec in open source is foolish and people should be willing to make some sacrifices in exchange of freedom. What I do request is that you dont be ass about it when you recommend DP.
