Took 3 years but better late than never.

Well, you also need to remember that Intel hasn't made a new graphics chip in 20 years.

Yeah, Kaby Lake added 4K video decode, but aside from that it is Intel's usual "Keep calm and re-release Skylake".

I know it's just my point was it took 3 years to support a standard for DP/Vesa that's been a built in feature in DP and still a not all that new feature in HDMI when considering they hve gone through damn near 10 CPU launches

it would be nice if there were more standardisation across the graphics industry, standardisation drives progress

Does the opposite. Stops innovation and let's a handful only do the innovating and everyone has to wait. You need both.

As for Adaptive Sync it is a standard it's just optional

i was reffering to g-synch vs freesync

I disagree that standards hinder innovation.

people innovate; create different systems; different parties support different competing systems; one system comes out on top (generally the superior one).

once an industry has standardised on a proffered method or technology, greater resources can be put towards other development.

And the governing body of the standard can continuously improve the technology.

this is how most complex systems develop, standards built on standards on top of other standards. Think JDEC with DDR or AWG and PCIe

You didn't understand what I said. You argued we need more. If we do more and more it stops it more than our current system. You need freedom as well as standards.
It's not always a simple case as you make it seem. There's a lot of background stuff that happens. Things that become standard are because it's necessary platform that benefits all but not everything benefits all.
Nvidia innovating Gsync was one. Then AMD comes along and does a different approach and gets it standardized. Benefits them. Not Nvidia. It was a deliberate blow to them. So my point is that if we keep standardizing more and more it's for the sake of doing so instead of being necessary

Yeah i see your point, but i did acknowledge that there needs to be a lack of standard around something originally for the innovation to occur.

I would argue that this is a technology that does need to be standardised upon, not in the sense that there is a standard, but the sense that there is one standard that is followed industry wide.

I say this because currently a consumer is locked into a particular graphics card vendor based on what monitor they purchase, this is to detrimental to the consumer. Nvidia did well to produce the first implementation of adaptive sync. Nvidia's practice of closed standards has hurt them in this instance though.

You need standardisation you allow the tech spread and work. You shouldn't split the tech base just because you want yours rather than another.

However people should be allowed to work upon it and create a spin off which advances the previous tech. That new version then becomes the standard.

This is in no way a perfect solution. There are many holes in it, but the foundation should work.

That's exactly what I said. Advocating for more for the sake of doing so stifles advancements.
