Im not even affected by this but would like to thank Bahz for not only taking the time to get this rolling and to ASUS for even bothering with doing this.I can only say that if it were not for the thankful people who are genuinely interested in this and willing to accept the offer as presented I would have pulled this offer at the first inciting of an internet riot.
For all the crybabies....... If you don't want it and refuse to pay and send in your machines as requested then be willing to accept the fact that you wont get it. If a single one of you saw G sync in your spec sheet when you bought the machine and you already paid for it then you have every right to complain and insist they take care of it free of charge. Fact of the matter is it was not on any of these spec sheets, NONE, and ASUS doesn't owe you anything. If you can hack it in there yourself and offer to others knock yourself out, just be prepared to land yourself in prison for theft of the intellectual property of Nvidia. They don't have to divulge trade secrets to whiny jack wagons in an internet forum regardless of whether its a few lines of code or firmware updates or all the above along with hardware. That's why they call it intellectual property. The company I work for had some people leave that stole software and a hardware dongle used to communicate to machines and sold it to a third party service company. They eventually got a nice 10 year prison sentence and the third party company got caught in a sting and had to cough up $26 million and sign an agreement to never attempt to service or sell service on the affected machines ever again. How would you like it if you sunk hundreds of millions in R&D to produce something only to have some thief steal food off your table?
Bottom line, you all have a choice.
1) Be thankful that they even bothered to offer this and comply with the payment and procedures as outlined if you want it.
2) Not be thankful that they even bothered to offer this and comply with the payment and procedures as outlined if you want it.
3) Choose not to get it and live with the simple fact that the machine you bought did not come with it and as a result of an upgrade later it became available, not like this doesn't happen all the time, the people that are OCD on having the newest Iphone are well aware of this.
4) Whine like a school yard sissy and lose the respect of all your brethren here, with the exception of the other whiners of course, and still not get the upgrade because you insisted they do something they didn't have to do in the first place on your terms and your terms only. I sure hope none of you guys are POW negotiators for the countries in which you live.
