They mentioned it a long ago, but finally great to see actual marketing material from AMD on this!

Hopefully this is available to SteamOS too.

SteamOS is just another Linux distro, and thus runs the same GPU drivers as every other Linux distro. So it will be supported too.

Are they going to open source it, or just release a proprietary freesync driver?
