IIRC those are Versa Desks, but I don't see those on the website any more. Damn things are built like tanks. The chairs have been reviewed here. The ICON, my fave, and the Uplift Desk Ergo Chair.Where can i get one of the desks and chairs in the video?
I decided on Forza 7 as it seemed to have the best visuals after a bit of research in terms of HDR.
I could be wrong, but I believe that was partly the goal of this test--to see if freesync+hdr was subjectively better or worse than gsync. If you performed the same test on a game with a poor implementation of hdr, then you might as well not be testing it. It would be nice if the same test could be ran on the same game but with hdr disabled, but you'd need to have another set of people or modify the format somehow as they could be influenced by what they had experienced before.So you chose a game that offers the best implementation of HDR for a comparison where one of the competitors didn't have an HDR monitor? Is it possible that, that may have swayed the opinion of the testers in one direction or the other? As in, at least some might have loved FS2 but they didn't like the HDR, or vice versa.
Gotcha. Will use the shittiest HDR title I can find next time.So you chose a game that offers the best implementation of HDR for a comparison where one of the competitors didn't have an HDR monitor?

Oh right, as in, "if you get FS2 than you also get HDR, which is not offered by the higher priced competing product." Hmm... makes sense. Cheers.The title is literally 'Freesync2 vs G-Sync'- which done at this time means that it will also be HDR versus SDR, because FS2 requires HDR and HDR isn't yet available in a G-Sync monitor.
Don't understand your assumption - ". . . make people happy that system 2 is "better" because it has much higher FPS."
If that the case than 640x480 should make a hell a lot of folks very happy with 240hz monitors. There is a point where more FPS has very little benefit and other factors can make a decidedly better experience. Once again this was a very interesting comparison, a lowering performing graphics card vs. an overclocked 30%-60% better performing graphics card and in the end a tie in preference with real gamers playing the same game with the only real difference besides the graphics cards is the monitors and how the game optimized using dynamic settings. In all cases not one person thought the Nvidia system equipped video card would be worth $200 more. While only one game the results speak clearly.
People not wanting HDR in general; I would say some would not see the point, some may not see any added cost worth it, others would like it and then those that are just blown away and actually just have to have it. In reality, HDR 10 even HDR 12 is fake HDR and does not reflect reality dynamic range - not likely to be able to as in brightness as bright as the sun and as dark as the deepest cave system. It is another approximation is the jest. Content in general are not up to the standards yet, agree with person above that the artist will need to adapt and use it to be able to tap into it's full potential. Everything art wise has been pretty limited in dynamic range, so this is new territory from an artists viewpoint.

I get that even though Nvidia haven't released their HDR G-Sync monitors yet, I am not sure how much of the conclusion will change since a G-Sync with HDR will cost significantly more due to implementing FALD.
it's almost just like higher contrast to me or something.

But, in that case, don't make it a freesync vs gsync battle. Use the same screen panel in both graphics card, and ask which system performs better.
gsync vs freesync?
Simple, freesync.
Anything from nvidia is to lock you into their ecosystem, so no, fuck them.
............ Comparing the 2 sync techs that are close enough that it is hard to tell them apart, only really tells us they are similar...............
It’s kicking ass, next to my Kyro 2 card.Because you have so many choices if you stay away from NVidia?
Hows that Matrox card still working for you ?

FreeSync locks you into slower AMD cards and inferior monitor choice.
That's rich.FreeSync locks you into slower AMD cards and inferior monitor choice.
He's kind of right though in regards to the monitors. While there are Freesync versions of the Gsync monitors at a cheaper price they often lack LFC, have frame-skipping issues at high refresh rates on NV cards, and they always lack ULMB (which is a better feature than either Freesync or Gsync IMO). Then some like the Samsung panel advertise HDR support but actually have an awful HDR implementation. QA in the current display market is pretty awful and Freesync has no real standards whereas Gsync has specific requirements to be certified (All panels must have ULMB, a sync range of 30-Max Hz (Some Freesync monitors have ranges as low as 48-75hz), high contrast ratios, etc). Barring the normal QA issues you can go to the store and blindly buy a Gsync panel knowing that it will be good; not so with a Freesync panel. Whether it's worth the extra $100-$200 is debatable and I'd argue that you're better off spending extra on something that you're going to keep for as long as most people keep monitors.
The fact that Freesync was only equal in votes to Gsync despite the inclusion of HDR (and on a VA panel compared to TN no less) shows that it's not exactly equal and probably deserving of having a lower price point.
