For gamers who are looking to get the best out of their gaming rigs, they’ve probably scouted around for monitors with the fastest response times, and in the case of NVIDIA GPU owners, probably looked for monitors that supports NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology. So where does this leave AMD gamers?
While to some gamers this might not be a big deal, there are some who strongly believe that this matters, and if you’re an AMD gamer you’re in luck because Samsung has recently announced two new monitors that will support AMD’s FreeSync which is the company’s answer to NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology.
For those unfamiliar, this basically syncs the GPU’s output to the monitor’s refresh rate, which ultimately removes visual stutters and screen tearing. The new monitors are the UD590 and the UE850 and they are only expected to be launched globally come March 2015, so if you’re an AMD gamer, you’ll just need to remain patient for a few more months before you can get it. Both models will be available in a variety of sizes.
The UD590 will come in 23.6-inch and 28-inch options, while the UE850 will come in 23.6-inch, 27-inch, and 31.5-inch options. Unfortunately pricing for these monitors were not mentioned, so we guess we’ll have to wait and find out.
