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.

    I remember listening to a rant from the WAN Show about it, so this seems to be the case, more or less.

    I’ve also heard that FreeSync does work with DisplayPort.

      Yeah I am aware that DisplayPort has adaptive sync support but my laptop hardware limits me to HDMI. Believe me I would much rather be using DisplayPort

        Same here, in fact I didn’t know it was another one of those Linux-adjacent topics.

        Have sexual intercourse with the HDMI Forum and the HDMI spec.
