Ok, but it still has a maximum refresh rate of 60hz limited by the panel correct? Meaning the max FPS achievable on this monitor will be 60FPS.

Variable refresh rate only works when your fps is below the max refresh rate of the monitor.

If your FPS is above then it will just be like any other regular 60hz monitor.

Variable refresh rate cannot make a monitor panel faster, only slower.

So I've built my pc, but want to have an upgraded general desktop experience (4k) and freesync.  My current monitor is just a plain 1080p dell from 2010.  It is ok, but not great.  In the past I have tried 4k monitors and 1440p, but was turned off by the insane pricing >650 Canadian.  I just bought this monitor: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-28-4k-uhd-60hz-1ms-gtg-tn-led-freesync-gaming-monitor-u28e590d-black-titanium-silver-u28e590d/10383477.aspx?path=aeb33a17dc3952cf2dcfe3331afbaf5ben02 

 

My question is, will this be able to game downscaled at 1080p, with freesync allowing me to achieve greater then 60/hz fps, or will it be capped at 60hz/fps?  It says 60hz, but I don't understand what the point of having a sync technology is at this refresh rate...

 

If anyone has had experience with this monitor, please post your thoughts and experience.
