Can I get 75Hz during gameplay using an Nvidia card on an LG 32UM68-P Monitor?

[Keishan_k]

Hey Guys, 

 

I'm considering purchasing the LG 32UM68-P Monitor, it advertises 75Hz and uses Freesync, which is AMD technology. So I'm wondering if I can get 75Hz during gameplay using an Nvidia card on an LG 32UM68-P Monitor or will I cap out at 60Hz as some sites suggest? I'll be using Display Port on a GeForce GTX1080 if that helps. I read it can be attained using Display Port, I also read that the 75Hz is the maximum range of Freesync and even if 75Hz is available and select in the computer configuration, during games I'll only get 60Hz. I'm not sure what information is accurate. Also, if anyone can suggest an alternative monitor around that price point that will produce above 60Hz on UltraWide I'd appreciate that.

Yes, you can. Freesync is like G-Sync, but with RTG cards. 

 

So you'll get 75hz, but won't get adaptive frame rates.

You should be able to do 75Hz.

But why is this in tech news and reviews?

Hz has nothing to do with the Card. But why buy a Freesync Display with a Nividia Card?

I think I got moved to the right section, sorry about that.

I think without Freesync the monitor is limited to 60z unless you overclock it but don't quote me on that.

All Gsync monitors are pricy if the monitor comes in UltraWide format. Can you suggest something?

That's what I've been reading in other forums.

If this is a monitor that runs at 60 hz but overclocks itself to 75 hz if freesync is enabled then you can run it at 75 hz with an Nvidia GPU. Source: Me. I also have an lg ultrawide 60 hz monitor that goes to 75 hz when freesync is enabled as well as a 970. I just enable freesync giving me 75 hz and haven't had any issues at all.

Under 1k $? Nope. But the pg279q and xb270hu/xb271hu are awesome. No ultrawide tho.

Also, you can be reaching 75hz with your monitor. But you're not actually get 75 FPS in real time. I forget what it's called. Something like stacked frames but you still get 60 fps with more frames.

Not sure but if I recall correctly earlier version of Freesync monitor from LG works that way.

But isn't FreeSync AMD technology? I thought that meant FreeSync would only work with an AMD GPU? Can you confirm the 75Hz during gameplay?

Yeah it is, and you won't get the benefits of freesync even though it is enabled, but you will get the 75 hz. In all the games I play when I select the refresh rate it tells me 75 hz; Windows tells me 75 hz as well.

Monitor upgrade cycle: 8-10 years

GPU upgrade cycle: 2-3 years

 

There may not be a reason why he would have an Nvidia card in the near future.

Thank you. I think I understand now, I'll get the 75Hz output of the monitor using display port, the frames I get is dependent on my Graphics Card so I should get 75fps in some games with a GTX 1080 on a 1080p resolution. Much appreciated.
