AMD FreeSync will get rid of screen tearing and tiny sync stuttering/pulsing. The protocol FreeSync / Adaptive Sync will be embedded into DisplayPort 1.2a and eDP (embedded Displayport), there is a catch though, manufacturers of monitors are free to decide wether or not to support the technology. At Computex there are supported monitors on display, AMD however will not reveal the manufacturers just yet. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) already announced the addition of 'Adaptive-Sync' to its popular DisplayPort 1.2a video interface standard.
FreeSync/Adaptive wont cost you anything extra, unlike G-Sync which needs a 150 Dollar Module.
FreeSync/Adaptive Sync can be implented in ANY monitor as it's a DisplayPort 1.2a standard. It only needs a small hardware addition for it to work, which is a Scalar Chip that supports VBLANK.
