Only Specific Radeon GPUs Will Work With AMD FreeSync Monitors

AMD Launches Tonga Powered Radeon R9 285 Graphics Card - Performance On Par With Radeon R9 280X At $249 US

i think this card should have been out at least 6 months ago, I cant really comment on its success/failure since its placed at a very narrow price-point gap bewteen r9-280 and r9 280x, also in performance, and announced officially to take out a timeworn, exceedingly popular card which is already been used to half-death.

I mentioned previously that the total cost of FreeSync is around $10 but that is the MSRP and the AIBs are completely free to charge you any amount of premium they want.
so which monitor are all free sync enabled monitors

Good news :D $25 price premium for lower power consumption and ~10% better performance is justified enough.
