About time!

Only wish I would've waited to buy my monitor!!

[Buckaroo]

Been waiting to purchase a 34 or 35 widescreen monitor that supported G-Sync...  This will hopefully make the list of available monitors bigger to choose from!

I think they realised more people were playing on Freesync monitors than G-Sync. That premium just wasn't worth it when you could save that sort of money or buy a better GPU. As this technology is for below 60FPS basicly.

LG, ASUS, AOC, ViewSonic, Samsung and a host of others all make free-sync monitors.

Choices will abound.

This is good for monitor makers, pretty bad for AMD. Now people have even less of a reason to buy an AMD graphics card.

What? Like not paying for a premium feature (cough "ray tracing") when you don't care about it? Its performance will fit the bill for gamer's like me who aren't gaming as a primary hobby. Yes, it's a little late, but, prices could drop, making it more attractive.

I made a factual statement. Yours is emotional.

Not at all, just pointing out a consumer fact. Were I to be emotional, I would have made some disparaging comments about your intellect or parentage. Note that I did not.
