ATI Freesync anywhere in sight?

I believe AMD said we could see as many as 11 displays by the end of March. I doubt all eleven will be available by then, but we should see at least some of them. It's not as if AMD is producing these monitors themselves. Therefore AMD has no direct control over their release. They can only give an estimated timeframe as reported by the manufacturers.

Will Free Sync work with the R9 290/290x series of gpus?

Arcording to AMD yes.

That makes no sense.

Firstly, the point he was making is that his statement was ridiculous and could apply to essentially every large tech manufacturer.

Secondly, It isn't like Nvidia didn't have years and years of experience using bumps. They are used on every chip. They made poor choices and poor engineering decisions and then poor PR and customer service choices.

So in fact, just because something is a new model of a GPU progressing for years in no way means it won't have problems. As was evidenced by... bumpgate - issues with a common engineering solution that had been around forever and Nvidia still got it wrong.

It's all about odds. Sure, a new model of GPU could have problems, it is just less likely to have problems than something completely new.
