And AMD rebrands FreeSync 2 as FreeSync 2 HDR - a more apt, descriptive name. AMD is putting some more effort into extolling the virtues of its FreeSync technology. Yesterday the firm shared a new blog post, a new video, and information about a new demo that will showcase its technology.

First of all, the chip designer has decided that the FreeSync 2 brand doesn't really communicate what is on offer. In brief, FreeSync 2 rolls together the original FreeSync technology, for wide variable refresh rate range and low framerate compensation (LFC), with HDR visual rendering. Thus it has been renamed FreeSync 2 HDR - to help people be immediately aware of the advantages.
