Driver coming on March 19

While AMD FreeSync capable monitors are now available in select regions, AMD has given a short update regarding it saying that the FreeSync driver will be coming on March 19th. 

According to AMD, FreeSync monitors are now available in some countries in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region and since "gamers are excited to bring home an incredibly smooth and tearing-free PC gaming experience powered by AMD Radeon GPUs and AMD A-Series APUs", AMD has announced that FreeSync-capable driver for single-GPU configurations will be available on March 19th. Unfortunately, those running on AMD Crossfire system will have to wait until April.

Plenty of manufacturers, including Acer, LG, BenQ, Iiyama anmd many more, have already announced their own FreeSync monitors so there will be plenty of choice when it comes to screen size and resolution.

In case you missed it earlier, FreeSync is AMD's response to Nvidia G-Sync and syncs the refresh rate of the monitor with the rendering rate of the AMD Radeon GPU, thus removing screen tearing and reduce stuttering in games. We had a chance to check it out during CES 2015 and it looked pretty good.

Most manufacturers announced that their FreeSync monitors will be available during this month so finally we will have a chance to see AMD's FreeSync push in retail/e-tail.
