I have an RX5700, Ryzen 3600 and on some games, but specially on Battlefield V, Free-Sync works really bad! I get framerates between 120 and 165 fps and my monitor is a 1440p 165 Hz Free-Sync Premium Lenovo G27q-20. Whenever I enable free-sync, the monitor's refresh rate jumps from whatever the framerate is to its half, very fast, which makes the game very laggy and unresposive. If I disable free-sync the game behaves normally but with screen-tearing, of course... Has anyone experienced this before?

Hello guys, I've been playing all my life with 1080p 60hz monitors and I just recently upgraded to 1440p 144hz. I've read about V-sinc, free-sync and MBR and I can say that I understand what they do but I still get a really hard time trying to understand how would they benefit me, so I'd like to give you 2 scenarios of very different fps games (which I think is the most relevant genre for these settings) and hear what you think I should do. Valorant: my PC can push between 300 and 500 fps on 1440p depending on graphics settings, I know more fps equals less input lag but I'd guess that the jump from 300 to 500 its unnoticeable compared to let's say 100 to 300 (please correct me if I'm wrong) so I normally go for higher settings with 300~350 fps just for the looks. Warzone: I'm playing with 100~120 fps on 1440p but I'm considering to downscale to 1080p so I can get at least 144fps without sacrificing fov (depending in what I learn here). So, these two games are played very differently, in Valorant I'd prioritize input lag and response time while in Warzone I'd prioritize sight clearness during quick, long camera movements. Knowing this, should I enable any of the mentioned settings? and if I should, how would they benefit me?

Hi! I need an answer to a very complicated question (at least for me). I am buying the Acer 24" LED - XF240QPbiipr , which has AMD Free-sync, to connect to my Lenovo Legion Y gaming laptop, in order to finally enjoy 144hz. That laptop has Nvidia however, and I've read that Nvidia series 10+ graphics cards support Free-sync (via adaptive-sync) only over Display-port cables. However, my laptop doesn't have display-port. My question is, if I connect the Free-sync monitor using a display-port cable, with a HDMI adaptor, to an Nvidia card, will the whole thing work? I mean, will I get the Free-sync with 144hz to work specifically? Thanks in advance! -
So, I saw this Viotek 34-Inch 1440p Curved 100Hz Gaming Monitor . And I was wondering... Can I use the 100Hz refresh rate with an Nvidia graphics card? I'm not talking about using free-sync, I mean the refresh rate it self.

I have a GTX 1080 and I am alooking at 1440p 144Hz monitors currently but the highest tier is just out of reach for me - price wise. I am not sure what to prioritze so I would like to hear what you people would take and why. Generally I do not think I would be unhappy with a TN-Panel but IPS is definitely better I am just not sure if it is worth it to sacrifice G-Sync for it ... What would you do?

Can i mix a G-SYNC Card with a second FREE-SYNC Card? I have a GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme WaterForce 8192MB GDDR5X PCI-Express Graphics Card (GV-N1080XTREME and a acer predator 34" monitor but notied a Acer XR342CK 34" IPS Curved QHD Gaming Monitor at half the price so can i run a G-SYNC Card on the predator 34" and a FREE-SYNC Card on the XR342CK 34" at the same time My mad idea would be XR342CK 34" on the left predator 34" in the middle and XR342CK 34" on the right or is it best to just get a second GV-N1080XTREME and could i just use the XR342CK 34" without using FREE-SYNC at all. P.S. Be kind its my first and only question -
I need help picking out a GPU to get the best performance. Currently I have the MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card in mind which is a great card and meets all the needs i'm looking for, but I was wondering if I should instead get an AMD GPU that has free-sync (If i should go the amd route please share what GPU i should get). The GTX 1060 6gb would be my pick but it uses G sync which I can't use because the monitors are more expensive then those with free-sync. I will be getting a monitor that runs 144hz 1ms response time (If you have any monitors in mind please share them with me), I know with my build I won't always be able to reach 144fps so i want to know if i should just get free-sync instead to solve screen tearing problems. Games ill be playing would be overwatch/COD/Fortnite/Rocket League and occasionally single player games. I also want to play a little bit on the competitive side with some of these games. (Any feedback will be much appreciated, Thanks!

I'm contemplating upgrading to a MSI Optix MAG322CQRV, however I can't find any information regarding whether it's compatible with G-Sync. The MSI OPTIX MAG271CQR Is confirmed compatible by MSI and others but there seems to be no mention of the MAG322. The only main difference is the screen size so it's not that big of an issue, but I would rather a larger monitor. Sorry if this is a overwhelmingly stupid question. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm looking for a good 144Hz Monitor for my laptop. This is my current laptop monitor: 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) 144Hz 9ms 300-nits 72% color gamut (If that's even important) These are the video ports it has: One HDMI 2.0 port One mini DisplayPort 1.4 One Thunderbolt 3 (USB 3.1 Gen 2) port I'm looking for a monitor that's between $180-$220, 144Hz, and is G-sync compatible. One monitor I have looked at is this one: https://www.amazon.com/AOC-C24G1-Frameless-DisplayPort-Adjustable/dp/B07GD5XG5G/ref=sr_1_2?crid=XFEO4HJAOU8M&dchild=1&keywords=144hz%2Bmonitor&qid=1600658588&sprefix=144hz%2Bmo%2Caps%2C151&sr=8-2&th=1 Is this monitor any good? Are there any better ones? Or maybe any other suggestions?

Why are gaming displays so expensive? G-sync and Free-sync have been arounf for quite some time now and the only new tech in displays is the VA or IPS panel and the HDR. and yet we see that the VA and IPS panel cost without G-sync or free-sync are relatively ceaper than the ones with. What is the reason behind this? I want to buy a gaming monitor with G-sync in near future. I am just wondering if it is really worth it to spen 800 bucks on a monitor.

Okay so instead of showing you the builds, they are identical. Only one thing is diffrent and thats the GPU. So i have the option of getting a GTX 1080 With a 2K 144hz Monitor that doesnt support G-SYNC. Or i can go with a VEGA 64 non liquid with the same monitor but it supports Free-sync. Is There any benifit from switching to radeon,and having free-sync supported. And i know the new GTX 1180/2080 is coming august or September and if its 600$ or 650$ i might go with that, and if the 1080 ti drops to 600/650 i might go with the 1080 ti because as ive seen theres a small performance lost when compared to the 1180/2080. What im trying to say is that id go with the cheaper gtx card if theres no real difference in free-sync. Again is there any benifit for freesync because your working on very high end gpus and im not sure if the frame rate will drop that much

So I realize that this has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find a clear answer anywhere on the internet. I am planning to get a 144Hz monitor as a second display (to make it my main display), But a lot of the monitors I find have Free-sync. I found out that free-sync works with AMD and G-sync works with Nvidia, Sadly, here in the Netherlands at least, G-sync monitors are almost twice the price of a free-sync/no sync 144Hz monitor. My question here is can I buy a free-sync monitor and fully enjoy the 144Hz monitor whilst running an Nvidia GPU. Also, would it really be worth to save up another 150-200EUR to get a G-sync monitor?

Hi, does anyone own this model along with an AMD card? on AMD website it is listed as Free-sync capable https://www.amd.com/en/products/freesync-monitors but nowhere in the product description is this feature listed. https://www.viewsonic.com/vn/products/lcd/VX3218-SHDW.php I'm not in the US so an affordable freesync capable monitor is hard to find, this is the only 32" available that's within my budget. If you have this model please help me confirm this feature, thanks in advance.

I'm just not ready to waste money on some random monitor that is cheap. What do you think? Please comment, thx.

I just want a quick answer : can Nvidia make use of free-sync or is it only g-sync (which is overpriced IMO) that work with 10** series.

Hello! Specs: - GTX 970 - i5 4690K - H97-PRO - 8GB RAM Current I own a awful LG monitor, and I think you could add agree I need an upgrade. I have been trying to decide between these two monitors for weeks, and I have never used any monitor that has either G-Sync, 144hz or even IPS. I ask for your opinions and assistance, because I can't decide on my own. As you all probably know, the main difference between these monitors is G-Sync, as I have a Nvidia card this will benefit me. But what I don't know is how much, and if it'll be worth the extra money. Of course it'll depend on what I play, which is mainly CS:GO and demanding shooters such as Battlefield 4. I have heard the signal processing is very close to TN panels on both these monitors. Because of this, is there not benefit (apart from the price) of buying a TN panel now? Thank you very much for reading, and really appropriate you taking some interest and helping me with my decision. ( These are the cheapest prices I could find.): https://www.scan.co.uk/products/27-asus-mg279q-freesync-144hz-ips-2560x1440-4ms-350cd-m-100m1-black-dp-v12-minidp-2x-hdmi(mhl)-2x-us https://www.ballicom.co.uk/um-hb0ee-d01-acer-predator-xb270hu.p1183714.html Have a nice day!

Hey guys! I've been trying to decide if I should upgrade or not for a while now and I got the opportunity recently to do it. My budget is $500-$1000 dollars but ideally the lower the better. My rig right now is intel i7 3770k 8Gb Corsair Sniper X RAM 1 240GB Samsung SSD 1 2TB Western Digital HDD Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 750W Gold Corsair PSU ASUS Sabertooth Z77 Motherboard NZXT Phantom Case I also have a pretty generic but solid Asus 1080p 60fps monitor. Right now I don't necessarily want to game at 4k but it would be nice. My primary goal is to get a g-sync or free-sync monitor and a better graphics card. Waiting is an option if it's not worth upgrading right now and new releases are expected. I haven't really been following the latest releases and when Iooked this up I couldn't really find anything that convinced me it was worth upgrading or that it wasn't. I

With 600$ to spend on a Free-Sync Compatible GPU what is the best power I can get for playing high-end video games like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, and Rust at the highest FPS possible (up to 144)? My Idea was to get 2 390 GPUs on Crossfire: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125805&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Hi i wanted to share this link with you guys after a lot of links was shut down (no wonder -.-) it's about that G-SYNC is a lie, you dont need the hardware that is applied in the monitors just all you need is driver and monitor that have Display Port 1.2. Here is a link for that https://www.kaldata....ayPo-97502.htmlI know it's on bulgarian language but i am sure you can translate it easy with google chrome or google translate, there was a video about that i watch and now they are removed -.- still think that's a lie? Isn't it strange that AMD just relised Free-sync for no money? with no exstra hardware? I want you guys to know that and tell me what do you think

I'm going to leave the entire interview in the OP, because taking quotes out of context can be dangerous and misleading. The TLDR version: Free-Sync as a concept is older than G-Sync. It does not require licensing fees or special scalars to be installed in the monitor. VESA Adaptive Sync is a component in the new DP 1.2a standard that allows compatible graphics cards to control the refresh rate of the monitor. Free-Sync will allow you to disable V-Sync (which will increase responsiveness) while not risking seeing screen tearing when the graphics card refreshes the displayed image before the monitor is finished displaying the previous image, and not being locked to a multiplier of the display's display rate (15, 30, 60, 90, 120 etc). Free-Sync removes the need for triple-buffering to eliminate input lag. Advantages over G-Sync are: no licensing fees, no proprietary hardware modules and not communication overhead between the graphics card and the monitor. All AMD Radeon graphics cards in the AMD Radeon HD 7000, HD 8000, R7 or R9 Series will support Project FreeSync for video playback and power-saving purposes. The AMD Radeon R9 295X2, 290X, R9 290, R7 260X and R7 260 additionally feature updated display controllers that will support dynamic refresh rates during gaming. AMD APUs codenamed Kaveri, Kabini, Temash, Beema and Mullins also feature the necessary hardware capabilities to enable dynamic refresh rates for video playback, gaming and power-saving purposes. To use Free-Sync, you must connect the graphics output to a compatible monitor via a DP 1.2a port. Free-Sync will be compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 at launch, and will be able to be toggled off if it is not supported by certain applications. There are several industry partners working on Project FreeSync. Compatible monitors are expected to hit retail in 6-12 months, and be available for review in 4-10 months. Source: http://www.sweclockers.com/artikel/18798-amd-om-dynamiska-uppdateringsfrekvenser-med-project-freesync/2#pagehead That answered a lot of the questions I had about the technology, now we need to wait until Christmas (which is coincidentally around when they expect monitors to hit retail - who'd have thought). -
As of today AMD's adaptive refresh rate technology "FreeSync" very much akin to Nvidia's G-Sync has been officially ratified as a VESA standard in Displayport 1.2a and is now officially known as Adaptive-Sync. How Adaptive-Sync can work to reduce power consumption and improve content presentation. Furthermore the Adaptive-Sync technology will be offered to all panel makers free of charge. This is quite different from G-Sync which requires the panel maker to pay Nvidia a licensing fee. Source http://www.brightsideofnews.com/2014/05/12/vesa-adds-adaptive-sync-displayport-1-2-standard/ Update : AMD has just released a Q&A about Adaptive-Sync and how it relates to FreeSync. Q: When can I buy a monitor compatible with Project FreeSync? A: AMD has undertaken every necessary effort to enable Project FreeSync in the display ecosystem. Monitor vendors are now integrating the DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync specification and productizing compatible displays. AMD is working closely with these vendors to bring products to market, and we expect compatible monitors within 6-12 months. Q: What are the requirements to use FreeSync? A: To take advantage of the benefits of Project FreeSync, users will require: a monitor compatible with DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync, a compatible AMD Radeon GPU with a DisplayPort connection, and a compatible AMD Catalyst graphics driver. AMD plans to release a compatible graphics driver to coincide with the introduction of the first DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync monitors. Q: What AMD Radeon GPUs are compatible with Project FreeSync? A: The first discrete GPUs compatible with Project FreeSync are the AMD Radeon R9 290X, R9 290, R7 260X and R7 260 graphics cards. Project FreeSync is also compatible with AMD APUs codenamed “Kabini,” “Temash,” “Beema,” and “Mullins.” All compatible products must be connected via DisplayPort to a display that supports DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync. Q: How is Project Freesync different from NVIDIA G-Sync? A: While both technologies have similar benefits, G-Sync uses expensive and proprietary hardware. In contrast, Project FreeSync utilizes the industry-standard DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync specification to promote wider adoption, lower cost of ownership, and a broad ecosystem of compatibility. You can read the full Q&A here which includes more questions and answers.
