I'd like to know if there is any kind of objective test to see how well freesync/gsync are actually working. For instance, someone may think the FPS is better or worse but a quick fraps test will tell the real story. How do I get a hard nosed, objective, "just the facts, ma'am" handle on the (supposedly) varying refresh rate of my monitor?
it seems the point of the coming articles will be that folks did not know what they were playing on. this is as close to "objective" subjectiveness it can come to. WAY too many people are so brand biased that simply knowing what they are on is all they need to form an opinion. actual fps and such won't matter at all to these people so long as they already know it's one company or another. they automatically say anything by ______ will suck or by ________ will be awesome and will be tainted before any actual testing gets done. setting it up like a double blind medical test is about as good as it can be to get honest opinions about how it affects the gaming. i'd like to read this type of article more than anything to see how people feel the technology actual enhances or hurts the gameplay. how many people can truly tell the difference between 60 fps and 100 fps without fraps telling them there is a difference? i'll bet in a blind test many players will not be able to tell the difference. i'm sure many will come on here and swear they can tell and all that up, but up against a blind test i'd love to check their fps sensitivity some
it's sad but true how horribly biased most folks are. you only have to spend 5 minutes on any tech forum to see 100 examples of this any day.
