This document discusses AMD's Radeon FreeSync and FreeSync 2 technologies for stutter- and tear-free gaming. It provides an overview of FreeSync's history and adoption by monitor partners. FreeSync 2 is introduced as the next step, enabling HDR rendering and brightness/color beyond sRGB for a more immersive experience on compatible displays. Examples are given of how FreeSync 2 provides benefits like automatic mode switching, low latency, and support for low frame rates.
