I recently made a post about my FreeSync certified monitor not supporting VRR over HDMI. I thought that there was VRR support over HDMI even for versions below 2.1 spec. Am I mistaken in my assumption¿? Has the HDMI forum prevented the implementation of FreeSync in the open source drivers¿?
Obligatory fuck the HDMI forum and the HDMI spec.
The Steam Deck only does VRR over Displayport. Valve has their own engineers working on every part of the software stack. It’s their own hardware and their dock. With all that, Valve still can’t get VRR over HDMI to work.
Fuck the HDMI forum.
