Our vision:

• No matter what video source you're using - a GPU, console, or other device
• No matter what display you're using - a monitor, HDTV, Smart phone, or tablet
• Let them all support a single universal Adaptive Sync/FreeSync standard.
• No worries, no fuss, it just works! No stuttering, super low latency, buttery smooth, and royalty free.

To whom it may concern,

We, the undersigned, press upon you with great urgency our desire to enjoy the best gaming experience that technology currently provides. To accomplish this we suggest the following:

• We urge Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo to support FreeSync technology on their respective game consoles.
• We urge display manufacturers to support Adaptive Sync/FreeSync on monitors as well as HDTVs. For both DisplayPort and HDMI connectivity. For gaming consoles, PCs, and other devices.
• We urge Nvidia to support Adaptive Sync/FreeSync in addition to G-Sync as G-Sync is often cost-prohibitive for consumers and manufacturers.

Reasons to support Adaptive Sync/FreeSync over other alternatives:

• It's cost-effective, royalty-free, free to use, and has no performance penalty.
• Built upon the industry-standard DisplayPort Adaptive Sync technology pioneered by VESA.
• FreeSync expands upon the VESA standard to also support HDMI.
• Helps improve power usage efficiency by reducing the refresh rate of the panel when the screen is static.
• Ensures that the transition between refresh rate is seamless and undetectable to the user.
• Can be enabled by plug and play, making it transparent to the operating system and end user.
• Reduces implementation complexity of the Timing Controller (TCON) and panel by keeping the GPU's pixel clock rate constant and varying blank parameters.
• Dynamically adapts the display refresh rate to fixed video content frame rate for a power efficient, smooth, and stutter-free video playback with anything over 30FPS, with a potential full range of 9 Hz to 240 Hz(varies by display model, see manufacturer for display-specific ranges).
• Dynamically adapts the display refresh rate during gaming for low latency and a smooth, virtually stutter-free gaming experience.

We sincerely urge all concerned manufacturers to not delay deployment of this amazing Adaptive Sync/FreeSync technology any further!

FAQ:

1. Q: What's the difference between FreeSync and Adaptive Sync? --- A: FreeSync is a technology developed by AMD that supports Adaptive Sync over HDMI as well as DisplayPort. DisplayPort is a VESA standard that supports Adaptive Sync, but currently it doesn't support HDMI. FreeSync supports both HDMI and DisplayPort. That's the ideal solution - one that works regardless of the type of connection. HDMI is working on a standard for Adaptive Sync technology, but until then this petition urges the support of FreeSync AND Adaptive Sync.
